Sabine has returned to Nona's farm after her adventures in Pine Peaks. She and Dominic now have two of the charms. The search is on for the third. Without all the charms, the old remedy book cannot be found. That book is the only hope Nona has of getting well. The witch ball that was given to her by the relative in Pine Peaks is packed away in Sabine's room. Nona instantly disliked the ball and refuses to be anywhere near it. Nona believes it to be cursed. Well, she is partly right. It is not cursed, but there is something very wrong with it. Not even Opal can figure it out.

The Booster Club is having a carnival to raise money for charity. Sabine talks Manny into having a fortuneteller booth. Sabine forgets to bring the plastic "crystal ball", so Penny-Love makes a mad dash out to the farm to pick it up from Sabine's bed room. Unfortunately, the witch ball keeps showing up where it is not wanted. Instead of being packed away, the witch ball is sitting in plain sight for Penny-Love to snatch up and rush to Manny with. By the time Sabine checks on Manny, it is too late. Manny has already given out three predictions. He has no idea who the three people were OR what his prediction for each was. It's all a blank. Sabine would never have allowed Manny to predict her future if she had known he was using the witch ball. But it is too late to stop it now. Manny predicted that Sabine would die in exactly five days!

The witch ball has already caused some bizarre happenings, so no one will just drop the subject. The search is on for the previous three customers. Dominic, Manny, and Sabine need to find out what their predictions were and if they had come true. Time is ticking on.

***** Even better than the stories before, if that is possible. Sabine's mixed feelings about Josh and Dominic become a bit more defined, a little clearer. You are going to be hooked into this suspenseful adventure from the first page until the last. Linda Joy Singleton's stories are awesome! *****

These books were a fun read. ***Some spoilers*** I loved the love triangle between Sabine, Dominic and Josh. The author does a fantastic job of playing off the last book and keeping the story moving, so when you finish one it just keeps moving along!!

This is a very good series... I have read all five so far and I think #6 is going to be the best book in the series depending on how the author plays off the last book with the ex-boyfriend and the new one... We will have to see...

The only thing I don't like about this series is the books are to small and the stories in each book could be longer.. How ever it's still a very good series...

I really liked the first two books of this series, and I was excited to read this one. However, once I got halfway through it, I was annoyed with Sabine's dependency on Josh. If she can't be honest with him, then she shouldn't be with him. I feel that the author has dragged out the Sabine, Josh, Dominic love triangle for too long, so I'm not even planning on finishing the series.

This was a great series of books, I read them all. There was a bit of suspense in all of them, and it was awesome reading them on a Kindle because then I could just download the next book and start reading right away to see what Sabine was up to next!!

I read the first two in the series, a good start, but then I hit this third book. Suddenly, Sabine is *obsessed* with the fact that she's got all these popular friends. There's paragraph after paragraph describing how "lucky" she is for hanging out with such popular people- not that their good friends who have her back- they're great friends to have simply by virtue of being popular. It's surprisingly immature for a character that is otherwise well developed.

Similarly, Sabine's decided she's just not good enough for Josh, and we spend an inordinate amount of time hearing Sabine go on as though she's in absolute awe of the fact that he'd even consider going out with her. It's unfortunately typical for the genre, and I'm actually resenting Sabine as I read it because she's turned in to some self-depricating weakling, when I want to see some strength from the girl.

The redemption for this book is the interaction between Sabine and Dominic, which again heats up. Singleton plays the confusion the attraction cases for Sabine really nicely, and the only reason I will likely pick up the next in the series is to see where that leads.

This book read like the outline of a story. There just wasn't enough to it which made the characters come off as mostly two-dimentional, very generic. There's enough story here to put some meat on its bones, too bad the author didn't do it. Even the book's formatting screams that there needs to be more. Some pages nearly had more white space than words. I don't think I'll be revisiting this series.

I bought all four of The Seer books last week and had read all of them 36 hours later. What a wonderful series! Linda Joy Singleton has created a wonderful character in Sabine...a typical high school girl who just happens to have an atypical ability. Sabine's experiences in dealing with premonitions and ghosts are made believable through the author's matter-of-fact handling of the phenomena.

Witch Ball, the third in the series, is my favorite of the four that have been published so far (I eagerly await #5 and beyond). It would be giving too much of the story away to reveal exactly why I love it so much, except to say that the climactic scene is beautiful, exciting, nervewracking, and calm, somehow all at the same time.

This book is one of my FAVORITE out of the series. IF you liked books such as Blue is for Nightmares, or any other books involving mystery and physic visions and such, you'll love this book too! It has everyday romance and typical stuff a girl can encounter but Sabine Rose (main character) is also physic so it has mysterious thrills to it!

I give this book FIVE DEFINETE stars and I totally recommend it to anyone out there!

I also recommend the other books in the series too!

Linda Joy Singleton is my favorite writer so far. This series is about an girl names Sabine with psychic abilities. This book is my favorite out of the series because one of her little sisters was in it and she has an awesome boyfriend! It made me nervous near the end...but i can't tell you why! It would ruin the whole book! This book has suspense and romance put together. I hope that when other people read this book they will love it just as much as I did!
