Boule de cristal
Sabine Rose commence enfin à se sentir bien dans sa nouvelle école. Elle est convaincue qu'elle doit continuer à cacher son don de voyance pour ne pas passer du statut de fille branchée à celui de fille méprisée en un éclair. Donc, quand Sabine se porte volontaire pour mettre sur pied le stand du diseur de bonne aventure, il s'agit d'un jeu. En tout cas, c'est ce qu'elle croit jusqu'à ce qu'elle découvre que sa fausse boule de cristal a disparu mystérieusement. A sa place sur le socle, elle trouve sa boule de cristal ensorcelée, étrangement hypnotique. Les effrayantes prédictions de la boule de cristal ensorcelée se concrétisent une à une et Sabine doit percer à jour son mystère avant que la dernière prophétie - sa propre mort inopinée - apporte son issue fatale.

Linda Joy Singleton
100 books470 followersI started writing at 8 years old and when I speak to kids at schools or libraries I show them the stories I wrote as a child. I loved mystery series like Judy Bolton and Nancy Drew, and my DREAM was to write a series of my own. This happened when My Sister the Ghost was published by Avon books in 1994.
Since then I’ve been fortunate to write other series like The Seer, Dead Girl trilogy, Strange Encounters, Regeneration and Curious Cat Spy Club. I recently added a mini mystery to the Curious Cat Spy Club series titled Dog Rescue Time Warp which has a surprise ending.

This is a cute, fast read that continues the Seer series with Sabine. Her grandmother’s dementia continues to worsen, and since Sabine is in the popular group at her high school, she’s deathly afraid of her friends finding out her secret about being psychic. That fear is multiplied by the fact that she somehow has inherited a haunted witch ball that is causing all sorts of supernatural mayhem with her and her friends.
Overall, I found this to be a decent paranormal mystery; it has all the elements of a fun series: a bit of romance, some mystery, and some magic. The action in this book doesn’t stop, which makes for a real page-turning experience. I liked that we got to see more character development for some of Sabine’s classmates, and especially have some development between the relationship between Sabine and her grandmother’s handyman, Dominic. Some family stuff gets thrown in as well and we finally get to know more about Sabine’s sisters and mother and have some page time with them, which is great.
The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so you might want to have book 4 ready if that bother’s you. I enjoyed this for the most part and while there’s a lot of action, the conflict seemed to be stagnant throughout; it was the same high-stakes conflict again and again, leading me to roll my eyes at Sabine sometimes because she kept making a huge deal over the SAME THING and nothing really moved forward. With that said, everything was resolved by the end of the book, so it wasn’t a total loss. I’m still looking forward to reading the sequel!

Reread in May.2018
Reading it a second time made me enjoy this novel more. I got to appreciate the mystery and the way the story developed. This one was very magical that it made this book so interesting. The love triangle is being develop which I liked. Can't wait to see the way the main character handles it. She handled all the mystery, her family and love life so well that I cannot wait to see how she evolves some more. This book was very funny as well. This had me laughing at some times. The main character's friends are so quirky and unique. A true squad. The ending really blew my mind! I cannot wait to reread and re-remember the story plot.
1st Review
This novel had everything. It was so captivating, because of the mystery, the actions and the romance. I loved this and I would totally recommend it to all witch fans. It was also an easy read.

Original review at Izy's dream - Seer series
I liked how Sabine is slowly moving away from her shallow (or "normal" as she calls it) life and moving towards more real relationships.
It is not that ditching friends is a good things, but ditching people who are not really your friends because you can't be yourself around them is more than okay. You gotta learn to know your value and respect yourself if you want others to do so. Be true is my best advice, to Sabine, but also to all girls and women out there.
I liked how Manny, Thorn and Dominic were present through all the book. I also really liked Amy's part in this book. Oh and I particularly enjoyed the part when Manny drives Sabine home hahaha. you'll understand when you read it!
I didn't really like the whole witch ball idea, it was all weird to me, but that's a personal opinion. I think it was a bit far fetched, but I get that it was necessary to help Sabine know her gift better.
I loved Opal's role and presence in this installment, but I hate Sabine's lack of respect towards her. I get that she's her guide but she could speak to her without the attitude or without sending her away every time Opal doesn't answer her questions or doesn't give her direct answers. The whole point of guiding is letting your "student" learn by themselves, not feeding them all the answers like a spoiled child.
Finally, it was a really good book but I thought it was too short, I don't really like Sabine's attitude and the witch ball idea didn't appeal to me. These are the reasons why it's not 5 stars, but it is still well written and it was enjoyable.
Beware, it ends on a cliffhanger! Personally, I don't mind but those of you who do, consider yourselves warned!

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading the first book of this serie (although I didn't rated it 5 stars..), but I feel like I enjoy this serie more and more as I go through it. Tome 3 was definitely better than tome 2, and tome 2 better than tome 1. In the tome 1, the characters are really clichés, but as the time pass, they kind of ''fall'' of it and they are less shallow, if I could say.
I'm in my late 20s so I am obviously not the target audience for this serie, but I can honestly say that if I were 15 today, I would've rated that 5 stars. That's the kind of books I enjoyed reading as a teen. Spot on! (I apologies in advance for my eventual mistakes as english is not my mother tongue)

It’s book 3 of the series and it was quite interesting. We get to see thins progress even further with Sabine and Dominic and her relationship with Josh. Personally, I loved how things progressed but the only thing that I kept rooting for is not happening: Sabine dumping Josh. Like seriously, if the guy can’t accept you as you are, freaky powers and all, then you shouldn’t be with him. But other than that, it was interesting to see that all the predictions came true, including Sabine dying. It was just the right way for Dominic to confess (if only he had but oh well).

Omgoodness, I can't even right now!
This book was good. But really they didn't need to put that cliffhanger!
Ok so I enjoyed this book, Don't get me wrong, but it just seemed a little different then the last three.

This series is starting to pick up for me. I am starting to like that it ends in a cliffhanger and makes you want to pick up the next book. The romance picks up, the drama picks up. Sabine is really growing on me as well as her friends. I’m excited to pick up the next!
July 5, 2021
This book basically had the entire quest for the book as a side note. Instead it focused on Sabine's romantic troubles and a prediction of her death as the story line, while Dominic did all the heavy lifting for finding Nona's cure. It feels like it's just here to drag out the storyline more.

l’histoire est plutôt décevante puisque j’ai prédis tout ce qui allait se dérouler. le seul élément qui sauve ce livre est la tension entre Sabine et Dominic. la quête pour Nina commence à s’étirer et avoir des longueurs.

A great installment in this awesome series! I love the characters, the excitement, and the suspense. A unique tale, well written, and a series I can't put down!

*BOOK SUMMARY, MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
When Sabine visited Pine City (read The Seer #2), her relative gave her an enchanted witch ball. Turns out that ball is possessed by an evil ghost that refuses to let go. When the school organizes a fair with a divination stand, the ball ends up replacing a fake one and Manny (Sabine's friend) gave real predictions to three people... and Sabine. Manny said that Sabine was going to die in less than a week. She then tries to find the three people to know their predictions to see if they come true. They all came true. When comes the day of her "death", everyone around Sabine traps her in the house so nothing happens to her. When Sabine gets an email that her little sister ran away from their house to join her, she decides to go out while Nona isn't watching. Dominic joins her. Sabine finds her sister Amy and she goes back home, but on their way back to Nona's, Dominic and Sabine get into an accident and Sabine dies. Opal, her spiritual guide, tells her that it's not the right time for her death so she comes back to life.
*END OF THE SUMMARY*
This is a really good book series for people who love fiction and easy reading. Plus, there is never a boring moment while reading this book. The action never stops. You always want to know what's going to happen next. Each book of the series has between 300 and 500 small pages with small chapters so you read through them super fast. I find that the first book is a good introduction to all the characters of the series. Also, everything is really well-described and super easy to read. I've first read this series at 14 years old... Now I'm 18 and I loved it even more than I did back then. I definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves a good story with non-stop action.

Nona's disease is progressing and her short-term memory is worsening, so Sabine and Dominic are working hard to find the remaining two silver charms to lead them to the remedy book. After finding the first missing charm at the end of the last book, Sabine also receives a crystal ball--a "witch ball". She discovers, unfortunately, that the witch ball is possessed by an angry spirit, who causes quite a bit of chaos. Manny, Sabine's school newspaper editor and one of the few who knows she's a psychic, uses the ball at the fortune-telling booth at the school fair and makes predictions which begin to come true. The main problem is that one of his predictions is that Sabine would die by he end of the week! In the course of tracking down the others for whom Manny made predictions, she learns new information about friends and classmates, some of whom are not who they seem to be at first. She's still hiding her psychic abilities from best friend Penny-Love and "perfect" boyfriend Josh, but she's also getting to know better and really trust her Goth friend Thorn, Manny, and Dominic, with whom she feels a strange, powerful, and confusing connection. Her twin sisters, back home with her parents, are also having issues as they grow older and into their different personalities, and Sabine struggles with her mother, who does not appreciate her gifts and who she feels kicked her out of the house because of them. Will Sabine really die at the end of the week? Will she and Dominic find the remedy book in time to help Nona? Can she help the spirit in the witch ball move on? Will she reconcile with her family?

The Witch Ball

Fiction
247 pages
The Witch Ball is the third book in the series The Seer. This series is about a high school girl named Sabine who has physic abilities. In this book Sabine finds a witch ball and her grandma Nona told her to get rid of it because it was evil and Sabine refused to, she just hid it. But the school was having a carnival and they were going to set up a fortune teller booth and Sabine bought a plastic crystal ball. But when the carnival comes she grabs the wrong ball, the witch ball. Sabine doesn't notice until after she had her prediction and her fortune was that she was going to die in 5 days by a person who loves her. Then Sabine noticed it wasn't the crystal ball, it was the witch ball. There were 3 other fortunes told before her so she was determined to find out what they were. But if they came true that means Sabine's fortune would come true also. Now she only had 5 days to find out the other fortunes.
I think this book was a really good book to continue on to the series. I finished this book in a day so it was really good! I really like reading books with mysteries in them. My favorite character is Sabine. She is a really busy girl but has time for everyone! She has time for her boyfriend, her popular friends, her unpopular friends and even her grandma Nona. Which I really like because she is about to pass unless Sabine and Dominic find the remedy book which is Nona's medicine to heal her. Unfortunately, the remedy book is lost in the past but they are really close to finding it. Hopefully they will find it before Nona passes!

"Someone who loves you will cause your death. In five days, you will die."
Strange things are happening to Sabine again, and this time it's not her predictions that are coming true. In the last book Sabine was given the Witch Ball, and in this one you find out it is haunted by vengeful spirit. And the three predictions before Sabine has happened, now it's time for Sabine to save herself from her death.
I think this one was great. Slowly but surely Sabine is becoming more open with her seer ability, and I like that she is becoming more confident. The main high school problem for Sabine in this one, is the threat of Evan telling Josh about her past, and I was hoping he would, and that Josh would be horrified and then Sabine would realize her love for Dominic!! But, alas, it did not happen so. But it was close enough. Dominic told Sabine how he felt about her when she was pretty much, almost, dead. Causing Sabine to realize her love for Dominic. Which made me super happy!! :D But then there's Josh, who, just so happens to not believe Evan in his stories of Sabine's past, believing it to be lies. Idiot. Anyways, the series is slowly getting better and more interesting, as the story progresses and Sabine slowly realizes her powers are not bad. And as Nona gets worse, the stakes are higher and Dominic and Sabine are more desperate to find the cure.
Now the ending.. Oh my flipping gosh!!

This one is definitely my favorite of the series so far. I said I liked the second more than the first, and now I like the third more than the second. I think there's a pattern going on...
This book definitely had the most "OMG. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?" factor in it. Especially when you find out that Sabine's going to die in five days. Oh, dear. That's not a good thing. At the end of the second book, Sabine is given a witch ball, which is just a glass ball that is supposedly harmless. It keeps witches out. Good? Yes. It doesn't keep ghosts out. Good? No.
At the beginning of the novel, Sabine and her friends are at the carnival, where Sabine's friend Mystic Manny (Another of my favorite characters. He's hilarious.) gives predictions. He knows Sabine's secret, and even uses her sometimes to give somewhat true fortune tellings. So when he is accidentally given the witch ball to use as his prop at the carnival, he gives very true predictions. Ones that seem ridiculous and very unlikely to happen. Until Sabine chases down the fortune-tellees and discover that they're coming true... when she's around. Terrified, Sabine is unsure what to do, because she can't even see the ghost that's hiding the witch ball. Then Day 5, aka DD (Death Day) comes along. Well, you'll have to read to find out that happens next.

In the third installment of the Seer series, Sabine is struggling with her secrets, her family problems, her grandmother’s illness, her confused feelings for Dominic, revealing what she is to her boyfriend Josh, and the mysterious Witch Ball that has seemed to take on a life of its own. Soon we find out what the “evil” is that possesses this Witch Ball.
Sabine is pressured into helping Penny-Love at the Booster’s Club carnival. The cheerleader’s ask Sabine for a favor which is to talk ‘Mystic Manny’ into doing a booth at the carnival, giving people readings. Manny agrees and somehow ends up with the Witch Ball as his magical crystal ball instead of the fake one Sabine had purchased for his act. Thing’s really take off when the Witch Ball takes Manny under its magical powers and gives four people predictions which includes Sabine, dying in five days at the hand of someone who loves her. Manny has no memory of giving any of the readings, so he and Sabine decide to track down the people Manny made predictions for and see if any of them came true.

**** SPOILERS!!!! I love that these book are fast and easy reads but the author keeps you on the edge of your seat. My views on Josh are starting to change. I was annoyed at how he cancelled and didn't show up when he said he would and Sabine was supposed to be ok with it, but the one time she left him hanging he freaks out and breaks up with her. She needs to just give in and be with Dominic! Sabine's mom is driving me nuts. No wonder her daughter can't stand her, she is such a control freak and is well on her way to driving Amy away as well. It drives me nuts to see how self centered her mother is! Ok, now that I have ranted a bit about some of my issues with the characters, I wouldn't change a thing cause it does bring great drama to the series!

As always Witch Ball delivered. I love that the chapters are short so you feel like you are getting somewhere in the book. There is always a problem at the beginning of the story and a conclusion at the end. It's fast paced, the characters are interesting and there isn't any real love drama.
Witch Ball starts where Last Dance left off and Sabine has to find out what the "Witch Ball" is. The Witch Ball ends up being the home to a very miserable ghost. What kind of havoc will she set upon Sabine, her family and classmates. Can't wait to find out the conclusion to this enjoyable series.

I really am enjoying the journey Sabine is taking. She is learning about herself, friends and family; often times she is surprised by what she finds.
I find it interesting that Sabine and Dominic are on this mission to find these charms; however, the story rarely every focuses on the action of doing so.
Singleton's stories are fast paced and contain lots of action. I'm ready for the next one now!

Only $1.99 on Kindle -- temporarily!
I don't know how long this will last but I'm excited to share this discount with readers who might want to try THE SEER series. While this is classified as YA, it's more tween and honored by librarians with a YALSA Quick Pick. This is one of my favorite THE SEER books where THE SEER Sabine is haunted by a spirit trapped in a witch ball and given a prediction that she'll die in five days.

I liked having something Nona feared. She always seems so solid (even with her pending doom of the illness)
No come on Sabine...get over it, we have all known since the first book you and Dom would get together. Quit fighting the inevitable. Plus he is so much more rugged, sexy, and understanding than Josh.

I loved this book, definitely my favorite of this series so far! the predictions and how they all unraveled was brilliant. I can't wait to see what happens between her and Dominic. only one more charm to go!!
where the heck did Dominic go!? if he left cause he killed her for a few minutes then he is dumb! She needs to break up with stupid Josh and get with Dominic already!!!

I've worked with Alzheimer's patients before and I can say this book for kinda accurate. Of course there is a fantasy twist that makes it inaccurate to the disease, but there are several parts that are super inaccurate. This was alright, but this is were the series started going down for me. I had high hopes.
