When I first
started reading this book, I had no idea what to expect. Heck, I didn’t even
know what the book was about or how many books were in the series. But boy, am
I glad I signed up for this tour! I truly enjoyed SEEKER! The author’s writing
style made me not only fall in love with the story line, but the characters as
well. I had no problem whatsoever visualizing the scenes throughout the book. Everything
– the characters, their problems, their lives, the dialogue – were truly brought
to life and very realistic! I was right there with them.
In Seeker, we
got introduced to Ally. She was a normal 17-year old in high school…or so she thought. You see, one day
during class, she just about passed out while having a vision. She could not explain what she had seen in her head, but
she knew she was no longer a “normal” teenager. Little did she know, her life
was about to change in ways she could not even begin to imagine.
Through her
new journey, (and quite the journey it was!) Ally was able to share her experiences,
frustration, and fears with Jack, a very hot and protective friend. You see,
Jack was older than Ally and had a past he was trying to stay away from, so
while it was clear as day that they both were very much attracted to each other,
Jack kept fighting his feelings.
Jack. OH,
JACK. I think I fell in love with him from the very first moment he got
introduced. The way he treated Ally was simply swoon-worthy! I was rooting for
them to get together the whole, entire time, so imagine my excitement when it
finally happened!!! I may have squealed and done a few happy dances, LOL!!
Seeker had a
perfect combination of drama and suspense with a touch of romance. Ally’s
journey was anything but boring, let me tell you! Overall, I truly did enjoy this
book, but towards the end, I felt like it dragged a little. Other than that, I’ve
got no complains about this first installment in The Seeker Series. If you’re a
fan of YA Paranormal Romance, this is a series you need to start!! 4.5 – 5 stars!
Perfect.
Exactly what I wanted him to think of in connection with me: the girl who
looked like she was going to puke. “No, I’m fine. I needed to get away from the
Wikipedia re-hash, that’s all. Thanks for the escape.” I tried to scoot by him.
He
laughed a bit under his breath and reached out, gently grabbing my arm as I
passed. “Hey, don’t run off. You looked really upset. I want to make sure you’re
all right. Besides, Ms. Gonzalez thinks we’re at the nurse. No need to rush
back for more coma-inducing book reports. I’m Jack, by the way. Jack Ruiz.” He
pulled me directly in front of him and again examined my face. An intoxicating
aroma wafted to me from his warm skin; a sort of warm, spicy scent that
instantly became my new favorite. I might have swayed toward him a bit.
“Yeah,
I know, Jack. I’ve been handing your papers back all semester.” I struggled to
sound unaffected.
He
nodded. “You still look really pale, Ally. And you seem a bit unsteady. Sure
you’re not gonna puke?”
Really?
Why me, God? I stood up straight and gently shrugged off his hand. “Yes. I had
a, uh…a moment. I’m okay. Thanks for getting me out of there.” His dark eyes
looked like melted dark chocolate. Life is so not fair. On the bright side, he
actually knows my name. I wouldn’t have bet on that. I’m not the kind of girl
who stands out—well, except for the crazy red hair—or attracts much attention.
I’m short and small, wear really plain clothes, and I don’t say very much at
school. I have a few good friends and we pretty much fly below the radar and
try to stay out of the limelight. I like it that way. High school seriously
sucks and I just want to get through it quietly and without a lot of drama. Please,
God, life will be better in college.
“So,
this is gonna sound pretty weird,” Jack started hesitantly, “but, uh, when it
got really hot in the classroom, it, well it kinda felt like it was, uh,
emanating from you.” He laughed once, quietly. “That’s crazy, huh?”
Wow.
Did he just use the word “emanating” in a sentence? Who does that? I mean, in
high school? I wonder what he got on his ACT? I had always had the sense there
was more to him than meets the eye, and this cemented that feeling.

~ SYNOPSIS ~

His plans did not include falling in love with psychic trouble-magnet.
Just last month they worked together to save a friend in deep trouble and ended up exposing a steroid ring at their school. Now there’s a new guy at school who seems just a little bit too interested in Ally for Jack’s liking. And why does Ally keep dreaming about a kidnapping? Last month seems like a cakewalk compared to this semester. Ally's trying to solve a mystery, but Jack is just trying to keep her alive.

Holy cow, what
an amazing sequel! This book follows Ally’s and Jacks story so I will HIGHLY recommend
you read Seeker first.
When I started
Dreamer, I had NO idea where the author would go with the story line. For a
while there, I was VERY nervous, but suffice it to say, everything unfolded in
a way I was happy with. There was more suspense and drama in this book than
during book 1, and yes, more romance too!! Things between Jack and Ally really
started to heat up!!! *fans self!*
The suspense
aspect of this book really HOOOKED me. I also loved how the author incorporated
the paranormal side into the plot – it made everything click. Ally’s powers
kept developing and getting stronger. She was not just a Seer anymore…she was
suspected to be very powerful. More
so than anyone expected. That too had me intrigued beyond belief!
The author has
this keen ability to write a story that is automatically brought to life. Smooth.
Natural. Once again, Amy Reece delivered a wonderful read. I had no problem
connecting with the story or any of the characters – LOVED the secondary
characters as well!!! Every single detail in this book fit perfectly and made
all the details come full circle. I cannot wait for book 3 in this series!!!!
Dreamer ended in a wonderful place, but yes, plot-wise, there is MORE to come
and I am SUPER excited and curious!! FIVE STARS!
I shook my head. “No,
it’s nothing. I get it. I understand.”
He looked at me for
minute and then sighed. He got up and came around to my side of the booth and
took me in his arms and kissed the top of my head. “You’ve got that look on
your face. You know, the one that says you think I’m not going to be able to
handle any more weird stuff and this is it for us. Huh? Admit it—it’s what you
were thinking, isn’t it?” I nodded, trying to keep the tears in. “Okay, look at
me.” He pulled my face up to look directly in my eyes. I could stare into his
beautiful, deep brown eyes all day. “First, and most importantly, I love you,
Ally. I’m in this for the long haul, no matter how freaky things get. If it
means I get you, then count me in. You gotta start believing in us, babe.” He
stopped to kiss me briefly and thank the waitress for refilling our coffee
cups. “Secondly, you’re giving me, and all guys in general actually, way too
much credit for deep thinking. When I say ‘what the hell is an oracle?’ that’s
all I mean. No hidden meaning. I just want to know what it is. Guys are
actually pretty simple and we tend to say exactly what we mean.” He kissed me
again and then returned to his side of the table, placing a napkin in my hand
so I could mop my face. Poor guy: it seems like all he ever did was watch me
cry. I was such a girl. “Now let’s finish eating while you tell me all about
this oracle stuff, okay?”
So I wiped my eyes and
told him about how the Seer Council had tricked me into believing they were simply
a group of innocent little old lady gardeners, but they actually held my fate
in their hands. I told him about the last Oracle being stolen away from her
people by the Gaulish clan, never to be heard from again. And I told him how
the council was very interested in my abilities to see the future and seemed to
think it was possible evidence of my oracle-ness or whatever. I finished with,
“And they didn’t want to even let me go. They made me promise to come back over
spring break and in the summer.”
“Spring break? Ah,
Ally, no. I can’t stand not having our last school vacation together. You gotta
tell them no, querida. I’ll probably go nuts if you’re gone.”
“Don’t worry. There is
no way I’m going back over spring break. I’ll go in the summer as long as it’s
while you’re gone to basic training.” I grabbed his hand across the table and
rubbed my thumb over his knuckles. I told him what the council had told me
about oracles, how they were messengers between worlds or something.
“Ally, what do you
think? Do you think you could be this oracle?” He looked at me with concern.
“I don’t know, Jack. I
think there’s a lot more to the story than what they’re telling me. I don’t
trust those little old garden-seer ladies. I can’t even think about being an
Oracle before I know what’s really going on.”
“That was a very
Oracle-like thing to say,” he said with a laugh.
“Shut up.” I smiled. “Does this lunch include
pie?”
