I love Torin St. James...
I crave his touch...
I need his strength...
Raine Cooper is certain of two things: her love for Torin St. James and her destiny to be a powerful seeress. But when she starts having premonitions, they are unclear and disturbing. Worse, they involve Torin. Not sure what to do, she keeps quiet.
But when the visions are about her and another man, Raine realizes she needs to talk to someone. Just her luck two new students arrive at her school and they seem to have answers. When with them, her powers are enhanced and her visions become clear. There is only one problem: Torin does not want Raine to have anything to do with the two girls but he won't explain why.
Can their love survive the secrets they are keeping from each other?
EXCERPT
“When do you need to be home?” he whispered.
“Six-ish.” The clock by his bed had said five-thirty something. “I texted Femi earlier.” I didn’t want us to stop. Today had been so stressful.
Torin rolled us across the bed and reached for my cell. Kill joy.
I read Femi’s text while he did his best to distract me. “Six-thirty.”
Making out with Torin was like drifting in a sea of sensations, away from reality and the mundane. His hands and mouth were gifted, and being with him was beautiful, intense, and mind-blowing. Times like this, I hated that we’d agreed to wait before I could give myself to him. Each time, it got just a little harder to stop. It was so frustrating.
Sighing, he wrapped his legs around mine like a pretzel and held me so there was no space between us, as though he was scared someone would rip me from his arms.
We stayed like that for a while, until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I kissed his chest. “You want to tell me what’s bothering you?”
“Nothing is bothering me.” He spoke against my forehead.
I didn’t believe him. We had faced some jacked up situations together, but I’d never seen him like this. I was the one who always got twisted on the inside. He was often my rock. My anchor. Something had shaken him to the core, and I wanted to know what it was.
“Torin?”
“Hmm,” he mumbled.
“Talk to me.”
Silence.
I waited. The silence stretched. “I’m here for you if you need to talk.”
His arms tightened around me. “I know.”
My Reviews
Check out my reviews for Runes, Immortals and Grimnirs over on Goodreads:
I really do love this series. This installment was a bit harder for me to get into, and I did find my mind wandering a bit. There were a lot more references to Norse mythology and quite a few new characters that were introduced. I think these things helped contribute to the lack of concentration I had for this story since there was so much more to keep straight in my head. Once I was about two-thirds in, things started moving along better for me through the exciting end.
Things get even more complicated for Raine, leaving her with many doubts and insecurities for most of the book. Torin is still the totally hot, undoubtedly amazing Valkyrie that he is and I liked the establishment of his backstory as being entwined in the overall plot of the series. Andris is really turning out to be my favorite secondary character in this series (it would be fantastic to see a separate story for him!). And of course getting to see more of Echo after his and Cora's story in Grimnirs just adds to his allure.
Still a fantastic series, and I can't wait to read more! I'd recommend for older teens and up, and if you haven't read the first books of the series, you'll definitely want to do so before cracking this one open.

Praise for the Seeress
…suspenseful, dramatic and exciting… Raine is surrounded by the most wonderful little group of people, all willing to support her. Even though they are not all related by blood, the love and sense of family is something beautiful… YA Book Addict
After reading Grimnirs I thought this series couldn’t get any better. Boy, I was wrong. Seeress put the bar really high for the next books in the series… Ruty @ReadingDreaming
"Seeress" is the third book of the Runes Series and it's just as good as its predecessors. The book with its Norse Mythology background and great characters (Raine, Torin, Echo, Cora, Andris, Ingrid....) just sucks you… Stacey M. Cook Amazon reviewer
I swooned, cried, laughed, fretted and cheered. I was guessing with each turn of events. Totally brilliant.… Maureen "I am a 40 something year old female that still loves young adult fiction”
