This one is definitely my favorite of the series so far. I said I liked the second more than the first, and now I like the third more than the second. I think there's a pattern going on...
This book definitely had the most "OMG. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?" factor in it. Especially when you find out that Sabine's going to die in five days. Oh, dear. That's not a good thing. At the end of the second book, Sabine is given a witch ball, which is just a glass ball that is supposedly harmless. It ke...more

Her relationship with her boyfriend, Josh is also suffering since his best friend threatens to tell him of Sabine's past. Manny and Thorn attempt to help her and in addition to al...more
**** SPOILERS!!!! I love that these book are fast and easy reads but the author keeps you on the edge of your seat. My views on Josh are starting to change. I was annoyed at how he cancelled and didn't show up when he said he would and Sabine was supposed to be ok with it, but the one time she left him hanging he freaks out and breaks up with her. She needs to just give in and be with Dominic! Sabine's mom is driving me nuts. No wonder her daughter can't stand her, she is such a control freak a...more
This is the first book in a long series. The books are a little short and diffenitly will leave the reader at a cliffhanger till the next book, but it is worth the time to read.

Only $1.99 on Kindle -- temporarily!
I don't know how long this will last but I'm excited to share this discount with readers who might want to try THE SEER series. While this is classified as YA, it's more tween and honored by librarians with a YALSA Quick Pick. This is one of my favorite THE SEER books where THE SEER Sabine is haunted by a spirit trapped in a witch ball and given a prediction that she'll die in five days.

I really am enjoying the journey Sabine is taking. She is learning about herself, friends and family; often times she is surprised by what she finds.
I find it interesting that Sabine and Dominic are on this mission to find these charms; however, the story rarely every focuses on the action of doing so.
Singleton's stories are fast paced and contain lots of action. I'm ready for the next one now!

omg!!!!!! the ending makes me so mad!!!!!!! the reason i say that is because it makes me want to read the next one and i have to wait a while to be able to read the next one......i have to wait till the lagrange library gets it for me from another library and omg!!!!!!! i finished this book in under 2 hours just like i did with the 1st and 2nd ones! :) i love being a book nerd!
Wasn't my favourite book in the series but it wasn't horrible either which is nice, just not as thrilling as I first expected. However it keeps the story going and is more than just a mere filler book, the witch ball just didn't capture my attention as much as 'the last dance' novel, book two.
Worth a read though,
Worth a read though,
3.5 out 4 really liked the book, what isn't to like about a girl that can help ghosts pass to the other side. I think the series is fun and is just plain out an easy read that doesn't make me think too much and it is what I am in need of right now.
I have so far liked this book the best of all in the series. It was really fun to see how she ended up dying too and how the author is increasing the tension with Josh and Dominic. I really can't wait to see how she resolves that situation.
I didn't know if I would like this series I picked up the first one at the library on chance because I was waiting for another book and surprisingly I have really really enjoyed this series I cant wait til i can pick up the next one from the libraby
The series continues to feel like Twilight. The protagonist endlessly struggles to decide which boy she loves best. I like these better than the Twilight series because there is more action and less introspective navel gazing.
This book is about Sabine and her grandma who has found a mysterious crystal ball in her attic.Sabine goes to her house and sees it is a witch ball.Sabine tries to get rid of it but when she does it always comes back.This book shows a mysterious mission on a WITCH BALL!This book is good for everyone.
My mother and I are both in love with this entire series! I was scared that the author wouldn't be able to keep my interest over such a long series, but I am still hooked after 3 books, and yearning for the next!
This series is killing me with such cliff hangers! I so involved in this story. It seems that something happens everywhere Sabine turns! Off to read book 4!
The books do get better. Now I'm intrigued to find out what happens in the Dominic/Josh/Sabine love triangle. :-) I'm rooting for Dominic.
It was good. I thinked she should date Dominic not josh becasue Dominic understands her better. I hope she doesnt move back with her mom.
Loved this book, the author and "The Seer" series. For more info see my review of Don't Die Dragonfly by Linda Joy Singleton.
I didn't expect that I'm gonna cry at the last few pages, especially when Josh apologized to Sabine and when her mom visited her...
I liked this one. I especially liked the ending. It was pretty good. I really like Dominic
This should actually be a 2.5, it was better than OK, but not as good as the first 2 in the series.
3.5 stars. This is a cute series and it is getting better as it goes along.
love the series!! bad ending though.
AMAZING!!page turner
love this series!!!
