oh my gosh… after reading SEEK, I discovered that this is a 6 book series. It is going to be an epic drama.
This is a quick paced story of suspense and mystery which I cannot guess what is going on (that is a good thing).. It is very visually detailed and my only “complaint ” is that some of the details could have been pared down to make it a shorter series.
I will continue on to the next book.

Great book, characters and plot. If you want an escape, this could be it!
Good story kept me on the edge of my seat. Cassidy hasn’t seen or heard from her mother Rosa in months. Out of the blue a letter from her mother arrives asking her to retrieve a key from her apartment. And it’s a key to a safe deposit box that may or may not hold a secret that may get her killed. Cassidy is thrust into a dangerous assignment with very little answers. Even worse, she’s involved her mother’s neighbor who’s an ex-convict. Luke is a walking poster boy for talk dark and dreamy. And even with the past prison record, Cassidy feels deep in her bones she can trust him with her life. But is her life more in danger with or without him? The only thing I didn’t like was the abrupt ending with a bona fide cliffhanger. But it’s a hook, line and sinker move because now I want to keep reading into the next book to see what happens.
Seek: Project Xol by Amabel Daniels is Book 1 in this action suspense series.
Cassidy is brought in to a whole mass of trouble when she receives a message from her mother to retrieve an item. Her mother’s neighbour, Luke, comes to Cassidys rescue when he sees her being attacked and now they are both embroiled in this dilemma.
It’s a good read, with interesting characters and different backgrounds.
They are forced together and feelings develop over their time on the run.
It does end on a cliffhanger – you’ve been wanted – but an enjoyable read nontheless
I really enjoyed this book but the ending left me hanging. I need to get my hands in the next book.
She hasn’t heard from her mom in 8 month’s and she gets a snail mail letter. They weren’t close but Cassidy does what the letter asks her to. Go to Rosa’s place and retrieve a key. Her mother next soor neighbor comes to Cassidy rescue. This is a fast pace story with great suspense and intrigue. Cassidy is on the run with Luke trying to figure what they fell into. This book does in a cliffhanger and i can’t wait ro see what happens next
An action packed, suspenseful this read was just my weekend needed.
This is an enjoyable read. A snarky introvert, Cassidy, has received a letter from her too busy professor adoptive mother to go and retrieve a key from her apartment and get some files. The dutiful daughter does this and is attacked in the apartment. Her mother’s ex con hunky neighbor, Luke, is on his way home and tries to save her and is hit with a cast iron skillet wielded by Cassidy by accident but she does whack the assailant up side the head and does serious damage. The bad guy has a cop badge and appears dead but disappears while they retrieve the key. Then things get wild. This book moves fast and has explosives, running, hiding, a caring landlord/hacker, a trip to New York, a motorcycle ride, a motorcycle gang, a dye job, salamanders, drama, suspense and developing feelings. This book ends in a cliffhanger and be prepared to get the next one! I’m headed there now…
I have never read anything by Amabel Daniels before this book. I’m not sure if I had known I was getting into a series of 6 books, I would have committed to this one. When Cassidy gets a letter from her adopted mother, she is dawn into danger, mystery, and an unexpected adventure. She also meets Luke, who comes to her rescue but is a bit of an enigma. I wasn’t particularly drawn to either main character, their chemistry was a bit lukewarm. The books pace was a bit uneven and of course, we had a cliffhanger. I may try the next book, but I’m not sure I’m willing to make the commitment. Just an average read for me.
This was a quick read and I absolutely enjoyed it from start to finish. Have to keep reading! Every book I read by this author I am surprised how quickly the book goes.
This is the first in what is bound to be a great series from Amabel Daniels. Already I’m ready for the next book in the series.
The story follows Cassidy Shaw and her quest to find what has happened to her adoptive mother Rosa. Rosa is a renowned scientist who has disappeared. When Cassidy receives a cryptic written message from her mother, she heads to Cincinnati to retrieve a key from her apartment. What Cassidy does not realize is trouble is already waiting for her.
Luke Dixon comes home to see his neighbor Rosa’s door open and noises coming from inside. When he goes into look, he sees Cassidy be attacked by a stranger. With a history like his, he jumps into rescue Cassidy only to be now caught up in the mystery of both Cassidy and Rosa. No longer safe, the two set off to try and figure out more of the mystery.
Just when you start getting more into the story, it ends! Yes, there is a cliffhanger, but I think it will be well worth the read. I’m excited to keep going with this series.
Cassidy received a letter from her adopted mother which told her to retrieve a key and tell no one, but when she goes to Rosa’s apartment she is attacked. Hearing noise from his neighbors apartment Luke finds a man trying to choke a woman and tries to defend her but what happens causes them to run for their lives. Cassidy and Luke are so unlike each other but they seem to work but you can’t tell how close you are when trying to save your life. The story ends in a cliffhanger which hopefully the story will be soon.
This book was a fast read with lots of action. Cassidy is a young women who got a letter to go to her mom’s place. Which is odd since it was a real paper letter. Cassidy goes but trouble is always around. A man is waiting for her in her mom’s place she gets attack. A man named Luke comes to help and now is pulled into this crazy life that she’s involved with now. They are chased and found over and over. Luke is with her the whole time and starts to have feeling of lust for him but knows he won’t be there for her in the real world. No will be since no one ever has. She has no one to really count on. They are at the bank to get the box and find out what all this is about, but there’s a problem. The man that attack her is back. It ends on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for the next one.
This was the first book in a new series and it started out very well. Cassidy and Luke are likable and you will be rooting for them along the way. This novella gives you suspense, mystery, action, an interesting story line that is easy to read and sadly, a big old cliffhanger at the end. I am definitely ready to read the next book in this series!!
I have read other books from Ms. Daniels and was blown away at what a fantastic writer she is, and this book was no different.
The characters were perfectly written with amazing chemistry. I loved the storyline as well and couldn’t stop reading because I HAD to know what was going to happen.
I can’t wait to see what else Amabel comes out with next!
This was an okay read of suspense and intrigue. Cassidy’s mother has gone missing, leaving only a cryptic letter for her to retrieve something. Unfortunately, Cassidy finds herself in the middle of a whole mess of trouble that she didn’t cause, she doesn’t understand, and she can’t seem to shake. To top it all off, the mysterious Luke shows up at the right time to save her, then joins Cassidy on their dangerous adventure. Along with the skills of a hacker friend, they’re led further down the path of “what the heck” as they search for answers. Who is Scott? Where is Rosa? What the heck just went boom?
Overall, this was an okay read. It does end on a cliffhanger, and I have to be honest…I don’t know if I care enough to find out what comes next. Maybe I’ll be more interested at some point, but not today.
Lots of action and definitely suspense . Cassidy receives a letter from her mom to retrieve something for her and not tell no one.When Cassidy goes to her mom’s apartment she is attacked and meets the neighbor Luke.The two get away and for now are on the run for what they have no idea.The book is left with cliffhanger
I need more! For real, this ending. Whew.
I love the mystery and suspense Miss Daniels is putting into this series already. I am dying to find out what happens next. Knowing it’s a 5 book series makes me wonder where the story as a whole will go!
This author really snuck up on me. I have had the pleasure of reading a few of her books and realize no matter how long it’s been I always wonder why I stayed away so long. Her books are riveting, her characters are flawed and they get themselves into the deepest nest of crap all in the name of something. This time she’s hungering for the attention of a mother who while standoff and elusive has always been there even if from afar. She has no idea she’s off and running smack dab into a nightmare of hellish proportions with no way out.
He is fresh out of jail and has his own demons riding his shirttails. All he wants is to be left alone and rebuild the life he’s had to set aside when he comes to the rescue of his neighbor. Only she isn’t his neighbor and they are in deep trouble. And that’s just the first book. Because while they are off in a game of hide and seek this author has set us up for a journey and it comes out in pieces. There is much to discover and a number of books to read through to find the answer. The thing to know is Rosa needs to be found and these two are going to go through hell to find her. The question is will they make it?
Two strangers find chemistry in the midst of danger
A quick novella that is packed with action, danger, suspense, and mystery. The growing relationship between the two main characters drew me in and I liked both of them. I’m eager to read the next in this series.
NOTE: This ends in a cliffhanger
