It was interesting but there were times where I was like ok can we please get to the more interesting parts? Unfortunately those didn't come until the last quarter of the book, but that last quarter made me want to continue on with the series. So here's hoping the next book keeps going the way the last quarter of this book did then I'd really enjoy this series. I have had this book forever on my Kindle and finally decided to give it a read. I believe there are six book in this series right now. This was a very quick read and was okay. The dialogue throughout is a bit stiff and awkward and the story is predictable. The main character, Sabine, can see glimpses of the future and occasionally see ghosts. She is starting over at a new high school pretending to be a "normal" girl after some events at her old high school caused her to leave. When Sabine sees a vision of a bloody dragonfly and then she meets a girl with a dragonfly tattoo she is worried that she won’t be able to keep her Seer gift secret for long. This is one of those books where the main character sees a vision and spends a lot of time trying to figure out the vision and then stop those events from happening. It reminded me a bit of Laurie Faria Stolarz’s Blue is for Nightmares series; except this book was less scary and more awkwardly written. The dialogue is a bit stiff and awkward throughout and the story is very predictable. It's mostly a lot of high school drama and mystery. I never related to any of the characters that well and don't plan on reading future books in this series. The story does wrap up pretty well though, so that was nice. Overall this was an okay book. I enjoyed the idea of a character who can see glimpses of the future, but it is definitely not all that creative. The dialogue is a bit awkward throughout and I had trouble engaging with the characters. I also found the mystery to be very predictable. I would recommend Laurie Faria Stolarz’s Blue is for Nightmares series if you are interested in reading about a YA seer who solves creepy mysteries. If you are looking for another series kind of like Blue is for Nightmares, this one is okay if not as well written. I don’t plan on reading any more books in this series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

After getting kicked out of school and sent to live with her grandmother, Sabine Rose is determined to become a "normal" teenage girl. She hides her psychic powers from everyone, even from her grandmother Nona, who also has "the gift." Having a job at the school newspaper and friends like Penny-Love, a popular cheerleader, have helped Sabine fit in at her new school. She has even managed to catch the eye of the adorable Josh DeMarco. Yet, Sabine can't seem to get the bossy voice of Opal, her spirit guide, out of her head... or the disturbing images of a girl with a dragonfly tattoo. Suspected of a crime she didn't commit, Sabine must find the strength to defend herself and, later, save a friend from certain danger. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

While the writing style is fairly light and straightforward, I loved the story. Sabine lives with her grandmother, both of them gifted with unusual psychic powers. Sabine is still learning to control and use her abilities, with the help of her sometimes snide spirit companion Opal. But with her gift kept a secret, she manages to live a fairly normal high school life.
But then something happens. Sabine begins to be tormented with visions of a girl with a dragonfly tattoo...a girl who is in mortal danger. And Sabine has to find her and warn her, before it's too late.
With the help of her grandmother's handyman Dominic, a blunt young guy with a mysterious skill of his own, Sabine begins to realize that she is coming into her full powers...and she's going to need them.
As with many books, the characters make this novel, but the plotline is still suspenseful. And the other books introduce plenty more problems to be solved. ( )
