I am a HUGE fan of Greek Mythology, I read the Odyssey when I was in fifth grade. I saw a blurb for this book and just had to check it out. I was not disappointed! I quickly fell in love with the characters and writing style of of these books. Cynthia was able to blend ideas as old as Greek Gods and Goddesses into modern culture without overwhelming the reader and still keep the magic! Not familiar with Greek Myth? Don't let that stop you from immersing yourself in this wondrous adventure. The series doesn't throw Greek Lore at you, but you learn along with the main character Eva as she struggles to come to terms with, and embrace being a Sibyl. Praise to the author for getting me out of my reading rut with these three books and reminding me why I fell in love with Ancient Greek times so long ago!

(Received this book in exchange for an honest review, yadda yadda yadda)
The first three books of the Oracle Series follow Eva from newly graduated college student to ghostbusting host of the most popular paranormal show in the world, Grave Messages. Oh, and she's also basically tricked into becoming a Sibyl for Apollo. Yes, the Greek god. It's a Greek pantheon in the modern world via a ghost-hunting show with an attractive blond woman that hates the outdoors and is skeptical about things even after seeing the dead in every mirror. It's a Sibyl thing. The mashup between the ancient Greek pantheon and a modern ghost-hunting show had my attention. It's weird enough I could see a lot of places it could go. And at the end of the day it does get to a few of them but just not enough of them for me.
Vol1: The Sibyl
The premise starts out strong, a good looking skeptic is hired to juice up a ghost-hunting show and does an okay job of knowing some of the skeptical ropes. She is setup to be the Skully to co-host Elliot's Mulder. Elliot is the one who is really into the paranormal stuff and drags Eva along while she does her best to make him happy as she's starting to get antsy in the pantsy over him. Or has been for a while. She has a lot to sort out in the early chapters of the first book. She agrees to become co-host of a paranormal show that will be financed by Elliot's father because hey, college is over and you got to something with life and she gets to stay with Elliot. Soon she literally stumbles into being the Sibyl, finds out Apollo (yes, that one) is real, has a new bodyguard, and is immortal. Then she starts filming the actual show and is investigating a haunted farmhouse while being attacked by the spirits of the underworld. Hades seems to have a monopoly on the afterlife. After investigations and getting to know her bodyguard Cyrus, she discovers the secret of the haunted farmhouse and makes television history with the first ghost hunting show to capture a real ghost on camera.
Vol2: The Fanatic
This volume is the one that really kicked it in gear with the Greek angle. Apollo seems to love cell phones. I admit, I giggled pretty hard every time the Apollo-phone is mentioned. Just imagining a god sitting there hunched over a solid gold phone texting just makes me crack a smile. Grave Messages is now the #1 show in the nation and has made Eva a star. This leads to the previous #1 paranormal show host losing her show, getting fired, and generally becoming an anti-Eva, vowing revenge for losing everything to the point of killing herself to summon the means to enact the vengeance. Now this is where I have to be a bit negative and call out the author on something because if you are going to have a whole Greek focus and bring up the original myths and go to the trouble of using their names, there is one very important thing you must do: You must get it right.
There are gods and goddesses so feared that even to use their names was thought to bring about judgement and damnation. Harry Potter wasn't the first to come up with that idea, it's been around for thousands of years. And some of the first examples are: Alekto (Endless), Tisiphone (Vengeful Destruction), and Megaera (Jealous Rage). Collectively known as The Furies. These are the instruments of vengeance that the anti-Eva, named Allison, chooses. But the books calls them the Fates. Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos would like to have some serious words with the author if they can get her away from Tisiphone and the rest due to this little mixup. And the names are used over and over, there’s no doubt it’s supposed to be the Furies. The trial of Orestes is told by Cyrus since Eva couldn’t be bothered to read it and the Furies are front and center. It’s only one spot in the book but it was just such a big mistake for a book that is steeped in the Greek myths as it’s primary backdrop.
If the reader hasn’t read Aeschylus’ original play they might also miss that the Furies are not Olympian, they are older than Zeus, Athena, and the rest. The book also skips the parts of Orestes’ story where Apollo is the one that causes the trial by commanding Orestes to kill his mother. The author also skips the bit where Athena only keeps the Furies in check by basically threatening to kill them with Zeus’ thunderbolts that killed the old gods. As you can tell, I love the old Greek myths so if you are going to use them, use them in all of their gory glory. I can see streamlining things a bit but Apollo features heavily in the series and is generally painted as the Good Guy and it’s way more complicated than that.
Eva also starts praying to Apollo in this book which was something I thought was interesting. She knows he exists and is the real god Apollo, it makes sense that if he answers prayers (which he does) then you’d pray. But Eva never seems to question how odd this might seem. I’d think that if you had a god’s ear, and they really were responding to you, there would be quite a lot of questions to ask them. She never even questions why, if he’s such a nice god, he insists on basically enslaving her and Cyrus.
Given the Greek focus I think this is one of the few stories where Deus Ex Machina is not only acceptable, it’s kind of expected. At least a little bit. One book can indulge in basically a wink to the classics but hopefully it doesn’t become a habit. And even then Eva does still have to act on the Machina she gets from the Deus so I’ll call it a good bit.
Vol3: The Seer
The third part of a series usually tries to break up the status quo a bit and this is no different. There’s a lot of spoilery types of things in just the first part of the book so I’ll stick to just my general impressions. Skinwalkers. We finally come to something I’ve been wondering about anytime you introduce the ‘the myths are real’ type of setting. Are all myths real, only some of them, which ones and why? So we get another haunted location and another mystery this time involving possible Skinwalkers. Usually this is translated as some kind of werewolf-like creature but depending on which Native American Nation the myths are from, it can also be something like a wendigo. And of course wendigos can be everything from cannibalistic humanoids to giant frost demons. But in this case it’s werewolves. So there’s horses and a Chippewa-Cree character for a little while and it was not my favorite book. The ending did what I thought was Deus Ex Machina again with Eva channeling a little bit of her inner Kratos but maybe that will become a theme instead of feeling like a bit of a let down. I’d also like to know how, in a world of Greek gods, she’d expect to get away with what she pulled without thunderbolts raining down on her. Because in this world that’s a real possibility.
There’s so much possibility in the concept and yet, yet there’s parts that are left unexplored that I thought would naturally be addressed. There’s a bit of a love triangle between Eva, Cyrus, and Elliot but it’s fairly quickly resolved. It doesn’t drag on and on and frankly, I think Eva made some good choices there. Eva can be a bit dense at times even after being told what’s happening either through visions or via Cyrus and seems to relish in making things difficult just because. The books make it clear that she’s immortal but then expects tension against threats that are obviously not going to hurt her. Yeah, when gods get involved all bets are off but being attacked normally? She knows she’s immortal why is she scared of getting cut? Also, possession is pushed as the biggest threat a Sibyl faces but is hardly even shown or shown why it’s so dangerous or how it happens or why Apollo would let it happen to his prized Sibyl. Eva should at least be very curious about this kind of threat and basically shrugs it off a lot of the time.
If you want a series of books that show some real promise and are a bit more gentle in terms of language and horror then this series works out pretty well. I don’t even remember a single cuss word in it. No sex either except brief kisses. But boy will Eva and Cyrus drink you under the table. There's a bit of violence but it’s usually mild. Except for the one and only prologue in vol2, wow, that just hits you in the face with how dark it is. After that, it’s mostly PG-13.

So I just got done reading the first three volumes of Cynthia Witherspoon’s The Oracle Series. If you haven’t read it yet, and you’re a fan of urban, paranormal fantasy, this is a series you’re going to want to check out. I don’t want to tell you too much about the plot of the books, because it’s best of you discover the story for yourself, because doing that is a definite treat. But I will give you a sort of Reader’s Digest Condensed version of what’s been going on in the series up to this point.
Kicking off in the first book, The Sybil, after college, Eva McRayne decides to go with her best friend Elliot Lancaster to Los Angeles to take part in his paranormal investigation show. At first this seems like a simple enough proposition, but at a paranormal convention, events occur that change Eva’s life forever. Eva is basically tricked into becoming The Sybil, the immortal servant of the Greek god, Apollo, tasked with being a speaker for the dead and to bring new worshippers to Apollo, which he thinks will be accomplished nicely by Elliot and Eva’s television show, Grave Messages. Eva now has to be very careful of mirrors, since the dead use them to communicate, and possibly even break through into our world. What follows is Eva, Elliot, their intrepid cameraman Joey, and Eva’s immortal guardian Cyrus starting to film the show while Eva tries to come to terms with being the Sybil. Of course, it doesn’t go smoothly.
The second book, The Fanatic, kicks off with someone that’s seeking revenge on Eva making a horribly dark bargain that will again have a hell of an impact on Eva and the crew. In addition to still learning the ropes of being The Sybil and bringing followers to Apollo, Eva now has to contend with an unhinged servant of the goddess Athena who’s out to usurp Eva’s role as The Sybil, and to get revenge for her perception that Eva ruined her life. I burned through this book just as fast I burned through book one, the story has a great pace, is well written, and is just a damn good story.
Finally, we come to the last book in the series(so far), The Seer. After her troubles with Allison Thomason, Eva is back in L.A. and ready to go into production on season two of her show Grave Messages. The trouble for her is, things are due for a gigantic shakeup. In addition to Elliot’s role changing, and having to deal with changes in their relationship, Eva now has to deal with another new co-host, Leyton. After heading out to a haunted horse ranch to film an episode for the show, Eva finds herself dealing with not only a particularly nasty spirit, but a skinwalker as well. Another one of the Greek gods gets involved, and events take place that will once again change Eva’s life forever. Man, that girl just can NOT catch a break!
Thankfully, this is not the end of The Oracle series, but it’s a great start to a series that I hope goes on for awhile. Fans of books like Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files, or Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles will find a lot to like in The Oracle Series. They’re all quick, enjoyable reads, and if you’re anything like me, they’ll leave you wanting more. That’s really my only complaint about this series, that I want part four NOW! So, yeah, get on that, Cynthia, huh? Hehe. So check out The Oracle Series. You’ll be glad that you did.

I was given an ARC book for an honest review free of persuasion from the author or anyone else affiliated with this book.
I have read a lot of paranormal book in my day, however I have yet to come across one like this one before. This book was one for the ages. I was flipping through my kindle as fast as I could to find out what happened next, but in some way I wanted to read it in daylight because the thought of ghosts and having things like that come out of hiding places scare the crap out of me.
Eva, our heroine, is fresh out of college and wants to make money fast. I mean who wouldn't at that age. She is also head over heals for her best friend Elliott. Elliott's dad happens to own a television studio and offers them (to get his son off his back) TV time for a paranormal show that shows Eva and Elliot going into haunted houses and finding paranormal things. Eva is a skeptic. Elliot is a believer. Well everything changes one day when they get to New York for a conference to gain knowledge on the paranormal world they are about to embark on.
Oh and there are greek gods thrown into the mix! Jump on for this wild ride! This is one book you will not want to miss out on! I am shocked that I had not picked up her books until now. How could I miss this book on my kindle? I am off to see what happens in the next book in the series, with my lights on. Ms. Witherspoon is an author to be on the lookout for.

So I was given this book to read and was told to give an honest review. Well in my honest opinion... This book is the shizznit! I love how well put together the history and mythology was put together in this book. I'm also a HUGE fan of paranormal and man was there some paranormal in this book. Every word had me itching to read the next and find out what would happen to Eva. I loved rooting for the main characters in this book, but the way it was written even had me rooting and looking forward to reading about the secondary characters. I must say I am #teamcyrus all the way. I am a huge fan of men who are willing to do anything to protect people. I can't wait to read what comes next in this series! I read the whole thing in a little over 24 hours and am gripping the edges of my seat waiting to be sent the next book. In other words, READ THIS BOOK!

About a woman named Eva who becomes a oracle that can talk to the dead or spirits through any type of mirror. The 1st book is all about how she is somewhat dealing with the power and her keeper. The 2nd is about her getting used to the routine of the show and her powers but jealously is a killer. The 3rd is about her on her second season of the show and she is now paired with another God and a jealous bf or would be bf for a producer. It doesn't end well but you have to read it.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were wonderful. There was an interesting dynamic between the three main characters, I went back and forth on who was my favorite. The story is great. I found it intriguing and had a hard time putting it down. I continually wondered what would happen next and when I thought it couldn't get any more interesting it did.

I would leave more stars for this if I could. I left individual reviews on the individual volumes.

Volume 1
I didn’t know what for sure I was getting into when I started this book other than it was a supernatural story line. Found myself pleasantly surprised that it tied in Greek mythology as well. The story itself was set different than any I have read, more like a journal of what happened during episodes or case notes, as there was not much of the what happened in between. I throughly enjoyed that, didn’t make it filled with a ton of filler. Looking forward to starting volume two and hoping that E finally gets a karmic smack down.
Volume 2
Volume two was filled with much angst and turmoil keeping you on your toes and flipping pages. I have a serious dislike of Elliot and Alison. I have zero faith that Elliot will be a stand up guy in book three.
Volume 3
Holy plot twist!! I’ll just say my inkling about Elliot was bang on!! Now I need to know what happens next. Like. Now.
I didn’t know what for sure I was getting into when I started this book other than it was a supernatural story line. Found myself pleasantly surprised that it tied in Greek mythology as well. The story itself was set different than any I have read, more like a journal of what happened during episodes or case notes, as there was not much of the what happened in between. I throughly enjoyed that, didn’t make it filled with a ton of filler. Looking forward to starting volume two and hoping that E finally gets a karmic smack down.
Volume 2
Volume two was filled with much angst and turmoil keeping you on your toes and flipping pages. I have a serious dislike of Elliot and Alison. I have zero faith that Elliot will be a stand up guy in book three.

I was given a complimentary copy of this e-book in exchange for my honest review, so here goes. First, I feel the need to say that I am not a usual fan of paranormal books however, after this series I would consider myself completely hooked. I could not put it down until the last page and then I even found myself craving more. This series kept me turning the pages in anticipation and need to find out what happened next. If you have an affinity for paranormal reading or want to read something different but amazing, then look no further, this series is the answer. Definitely interested in more from this author, I'm Hooked!

About a woman named Eva who becomes a oracle that can talk to the dead or spirits through any type of mirror. The 1st book is all about how she is somewhat dealing with the power and her keeper. The 2nd is about her getting used to the routine of the show and her powers but jealously is a killer. The 3rd is about her on her second season of the show and she is now paired with another God and a jealous bf or would be bf for a producer. It doesn't end well but you have to read it.
