Seer

Epic and sweeping adventure! Love that it is a series and not a cliff hanger. Strong female lead, overcoming huge obstacles in a world of Gods and Goddesses, AND finding the love of her lifetime, a warrior to fight alongside her!

This is a well written book about Chloe Santos, a descendant of Calliope, who discovers she is a Seer when triggered by the horrific experience of being blinded and injured during an attempt on her life. She is the first Seer for a long time, since Apollo and all those of his line have long been killed by the other Greek gods, who don't want anyone whose premonitions might meddle with their own plots and schemes.

She is set a task by the Council, a powerful body who aren't trustworthy. Chloe faces kidnappings, plots, attempts to seize control of the Seer's powers, the Titans and other dangers. And she faces them with Phobos, a son of Ares and Aphrodite, who has been enslaved for centuries by the Council, whose motives and orders he has long mistrusted.

I liked Chloe, she's determined and courageous, working with the limitations her injuries place on her. She stuggles sometimes and isn't perfect but she's a fighter. Her developing relationship with Phobos is good, too, as they face multiple challenges together.

This is the first in a series, it doesn't have a cliffhanger but there are clearly plot points that will carry on to the next book. Recommended.

There were a number of qualities that I really appreciated about this book. For one, I enjoyed that the heroine was not perfect-looking. In fact, she was horribly scarred, but yet the hero found her incredibly attractive anyways. The other thing that I liked was that the connection between the hero and heroine was made very early on in the book. It was clear that they were soulmates, so there was none of the annoying self-doubt about the status of their relationship like in so many other books. It was a really solid love story.

The only thing that I didn't like about this book was the array of side characters. As it deals with traditional gods and goddesses, it was difficult to keep track of 20 or so side characters with complex relationships between them. It seemed like the plot could have been simplified quite a bit by thinning out all these extra characters. Overall, it was an enjoyable story.

This book was a fun ride. I enjoyed all the characters, though the nickname Boss was not my favorite. I loved that Chloe grew into herself along with her power and became more confident not just in her place in the immortal world but in her crippled body. She found ways to overcome that and make the best of it. If I am being 100% I was kind of hoping she would end up with Phobos and Demon. But hopefully we will see him and Caleb find their lives in future books. Also, I don’t love the cover, it could use an upgrade but that does not affect my opinion of the book or it’s contents.

An excellent start to a new series. The books starts off fast and keeps on going. This is an exciting fast paced read that keeps the action going nonstop. Can't wait for the sequel.

Seer is a fantastic surprise that left me in complete awe and eager for so much more! I walked into this story blind, and I am so grateful for it because I received the sweetest and most beautiful of gifts. I have found an astoundingly exhilarating storyline that left me feeling so raw and vulnerable that I ached for the stunning characters. This story is very bold and so perfect in its drive, passion, and heart that I was devastated to see it end. I need the rest of this extraordinary series!

Chole has watched her world crumble to dust before her very eyes. What she has lost can never be regained, and her trials are only just beginning. Evil is hounding her steps, and its agenda is anyone's guess. When she assigned bodyguards to try and protect her, she feels her tenuous grip on life slipping even more. Secrets and revelations bring her life to a screeching halt, and she must decide if she will face them head on, or run screaming in the opposite direction. Can Chole find a hidden strength that she can can draw from to build her courage and determination, or will she find herself alone once more to push through more of life's cruels jokes?

This book holds a precious and fragile truth that if pursued will cost you greatly. Nothing is more valuable or more costly. The details of learning that truth will sear its meaning onto your very heart. To accept the the challenge and walk this journey will demand everything you are and everything you will ever become. For this truth will change the very fabric of your life, and refine your very character until only the core of you remains. Once you find this truth, you will hold it tightly and closely to your heart for it will fuel your every desire and motive.

S.E. Welsh has stolen my heart and the very breath from my lungs. This is perfection in my book, and I can't wait to see how this series develops! I was knocked senseless by this marvelous thing of beauty! I want to be clobered by massive talent like this any day!! This is what makes me a reader, and a happy one at that!!

Seer is a paranormal romance with a great female character at its heart. Chloe is a Seer who only recently found out who and what she is, and is guided by a fantastic hellhound! Some amazing characters but at times there are too many to follow unless you know your Gods and Goddess from mythology. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you engrossed but I did find it difficult to follow sometimes.

I loved it!

It was an amazing story with an even more thrilling plot. I was absolutely enthralled. Ms. Welsh is a master at creating intriguing paranormal romances.

A master piece.

This was a very interesting book, the story was engaging and unique and the characters had a great dynamic!

Seeing the future is hard, but facing it will be explosive

A Seer has surfaced--but she's blind!

Chloe Santos is an immortal with a whole world of problems. The victim of an attempted murder that left her blind, horribly disfigured, and stuck with powers everyone thought eradicated, it's safe to say she's at a low point in her life. But then she's blackmailed into investigating a kidnapping with links to her past. It could put herself, and everyone she cares about, in danger.

Including her Warrior Soulmate.

Phobos has a millennia of blood on his hands. As the son of Ares, he's done horrific things in the name of keeping the continued existence of immortals a secret. Only all of that changes when he meets his Soulmate.

Allegiances shift, trust is thin and Chloe has to decide if she should risk everything to make the world a better place. Even if that means sacrificing her own chance at happiness.

READER ADVISORY: This Paranormal Romance contains a strong-willed goddess and her protective Warrior Soulmate who don't appreciate the term 'vanilla' when it comes to the bedroom.

An electrifying and exciting story, with fascinating characters, taking you on a fantasy trip to Olympus, with the greek Titans and other mythical Gods and Goddesses. Chole barely survived the first attempt on her life, when she was almost burnt to a crisp, although it left her badly scarred and blind. Now, her life was once again in grave danger, only this time, the outcome might be absolute. She was the last of her kind, and dying wasn't an option. Her greatest fear was who to trust, with her secret soulmate bonding to Phobos complicating her already tangled senses. Chloe had to learn hard and fast, for death was stalking her, and betrayal, deceit, greed, anger, and hatred were at large, all trying to crush her life out. One thing that gave her the strength to forge ahead was knowing that her soulmate had her back.

i really enjoyed reading this, the plot was unique and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I look forward to more from the author.

Seer is a story about Chloe, one of a kind blind Seer who dreams about normalcy, and her immortal bodyguard/fated mate Phobos, whose hand is drenched in blood, but wants to do right by his people. It's a story about immense courage and doing the right thing even when everyone let you down harshly.

First, I absolutely loved out spitfire Chloe. She was badass, took no shit, but still had a heart that was soft and caring. Her relationship to her hound was something special and I loved them both! Now, Phobos was a complicated character, but he craved a bond, something to tether himself to his humanity. It was so heartwarming and heartbreaking to read about him and his history. The brother duo cracked me up and helped Chloe live a little. The trust issues between them, the banter, the mind conversations.. Sighhh I loved them all. It also talks about forgiving your friends after a traumatic experience, and resetting your brain to accept help as well. The writing was really simple, and that kind of worked, but not. I like complex writing, so even though I didn't mind the style, I didn't like it. If I ignore that, it had good storyline and development. Chloe definitely grew so much and the plot gave much depth to her development. The ending kind of left me hanging and I kinda hate certain characters because they are causing my baby pain, but issokaayyy. And I can't wait to know what happens next !! Definitely looking forward to the sequel!
