I See Me (Oracle Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Meghan Ciana Doidge (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,677 ratings
"Expanding the world of her Dowser series, Doidge merges romance, carnality, and supernatural fantasy to lush effect." – Kirkus Reviews

The day I turned nineteen, I expected to gain what little freedom I could within the restrictions of my bank account and the hallucinations that had haunted me for the last six years. I expected to drive away from a life that had been dictated by the tragedy of others and shaped by the care of strangers. I expected to be alone. Actually, I relished the idea of being alone. Instead, I found fear I thought I'd overcome. Uncertainty I thought I'd painstakingly planned away. And terror that was more real than anything I'd ever hallucinated before. I'd seen terrible, fantastical, and utterly impossible things ... but not love. Not until I saw him.

I See Me is the first book in the Oracle series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Reconstructionist, Amplifier, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series. While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1).

    This was my first time reading Meghan Ciana Doidge’s work but it definitely won’t be my last as I absolutely loved this story! And while yes, I may have been a tad thrown into the story line of her other series, it’s still absolutely amazing to read even as a stand-alone! And now I can’t wait to go back and start the rest of the Adept series! Because man, this one totally captured my attention!

    Rochelle and Beau’s connection was utter perfection and I absolutely loved the entire story arc with Rochelle and how she slowly learned to trust what was around her and opened up to Beau and all the possibilities. The going ons with Jade, Desmond and Blackwell may be more detailed in the other series but in this one was definitely captivating and makes me want more of their story as well.

    Definitely a must read for anyone that likes a ride on the paranormal side!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great storyline but struggled with relationship building...

    3.5 to 4 Stars... A young woman lost to the tragedies of life and hardened by her experiences is finally of the age to be set free to live life as she chooses; the one problem that continues to plague her is the blindingly painful hallucinations believed by her to be a psychotic disorder... Attempting to manage these hallucinations through medication and her art, Rochelle is determined to live a normal life and absorb her new found freedom... When the illusions and reality merge, Rochelle's life will never be the same, and she must decide whether or not to trust her instincts and accept her new normal... Enter the mysterious but beautiful Beau who holds some answers but ignites many more questions... The connection between these two is instantaneous and electric forming a bond to rival the pending evil seeking Rochelle... As this story unwinds, the connection to the Dowser series becomes evident especially with the presence of some beloved and not so beloved characters including Jade, Desmond, Kandy, Blackwell, and Hoyt... The truth as to the exact nature of the hallucinations is revealed as is the nature of Rochelle and her place among the other Adepts... I felt the storyline and the connectedness with the Dowser characters was fascinating and intriguing; I was fully invested in the Adept world and the role of Rochelle in the destinies of these characters... My only drawback to the read was the insta - love between Rochelle and Beau; both of these characters were interesting and complex leaving me to wonder why the author did not explore more of a build up to the relationship allowing it to unfold naturally increasing the intensity and chemistry between the characters... As it is, it felt forced and somewhat superficial, however I enjoyed both characters and am eager to continue on this journey with them.:)

    Ms. Doidge is a wonderful storyteller. This is about a child who grew up not understanding anything about magic and the consequences of that. Rochelle is much more functioning than she could be after everything. Beau is a wonderful counterpart to her.

    I definitely recommend this series.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing entry in this UF world.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I love the Dowser Series by Doidge, so I was excited to read this spinoff series. Although the characters are well drawn, and Doidge's descriptions are realistic, I found myself often bored. The plot centers on Rochelle, an aged out ward of the state, who learns of the magical world and has trouble believing in magic. The premise is plausible enough in the genre of Urban Fantasy. However I found several things that made me rate this book as I did. I do not like Rochelle as well as I like Jade as a protagonist. I do feel that her desires lined up with her actions, but she is just so unpleasant. She doesn't like anyone, not even herself (more on that later). This leads me to the second problem I had with the book. I disliked the love story, it happens far too fast for two extremely self-reliant, insular people. Most of all it is the ill-paced plot that failed to hold my interest. There is a lot of scurrying around, but very little action through the book. Clearly we expect back story in an establishing book, but the exposition was often prolonged past its usefulness. It felt like filler. Secondly this book wants to be all things at once: an UF mystery, a paranormal romance, and a coming of age book. The romance is stilted, and the sex scenes are forgettable. There is no "mystery" for those of us who have read the Dowser books. The coming of age part of the story fell short. I don't want to include spoilers, so suffice to say I was unconvinced with the seeming acceptance achieved by Rochelle in this book. Which leaves me with a last caveat, I did not like the way this book treated mental illness and mental illness treatments. Why is it that books that have magic in them want to accept science and medicine until mental health enters the picture? Am I the only reader who thought that, given her backstory, Rochelle could need some counseling? Overall 2.5/5 stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewing the whole sets of interconnected series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    So there are 3 series of books set in the same universe where characters intersect and connect. Series 1 , at the moment of writing, has 9 books and considers the world around Jade. Series 2 is this series, about the oracle. Series 3 comes later, and I haven't read any yet.
    Blackwell, the sorcerer connects series 1 and 2. In series 1, he is the ultimate nasty along with Sienna. In the Oracle, he has not, so far as I have read, been more than the ultimate collector. And he wants what the Oracle sees for his Collection.
    Writing is very believable and engrossing. And the characters and plots grab you. Don't forget to read in order or you will miss all about the Dragons and their significance.

    "I See Me" war das erste Buch, das ich von dieser Autorin gelesen habe. Und obwohl es als standalone beschrieben war, hatte ich persönlich aber immer wieder das Gefühl, die Hintergründe zu wenig zu verstehen.
    Am Anfang war kurz erwähnt, dass es zeitlich dem dritten Teil der Dowser-Serie folgt.
    Vielleicht hätte mich die Story mehr gefesselt, wenn ich mich daran gehalten hätte :)
    Die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Rochelle und Beau hat mich leider auch nicht überzeugt.
    Das Ende ist mehr ein "Happy for now", da viele Handlungsstränge lose bleiben.

    I like books that are situated in locations familiar to me. This one is not as good as the first Dowser box set. I bought it because of the recommended sequence of stories. It moves slowly in many parts and takes too long in setting up the background.
