I See Me (Oracle Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Meghan Ciana Doidge (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,681 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 A nice segway into new characters
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was a little leery starting another series in the midst of reading the Dowser series, even though it was the recommended reading order, because I was really caught up in Jade's world. However, I have to admit that this ties in nicely. Yes, the style is a little different and it read different which I was impressed with. Rochelle and Jade came across as 2 distinct people while narrating their stories.

    Rochelle is an orphan who having turned 19 recently, decided that she is ready to head out into the world. Using the money she made selling her drawings of dreams or her "hallucinations" as she calls them, she buys a Winnebago and sets out to cross the border from Canada to the US. Along the way she meets Beau, unbeknownst to her, a tiger shifter. When accosted by Blackwell and Hoyt in a diner, Beau makes the decision to take Rochelle to Desmond and his pack for protection. While there, Rochelle learns very quickly that her hallucinations are not figments of her imagination, but something completely mind-boggling. Magic, vampires, shifters, sorcerers and Jade. jade, whom she has been dreaming about for over a year is real. As is Blackwell.

    I adored Beau and loved the fact that we got to see some of our favorite characters again. Kandy and Kett are still at the top of my list, but I have to admit, I'm adding Beau to the list after this story. I may not like the idea of how this ended with Blackwell and Rochelle, especially given that she sees alot of what Jade does which could benefit Blackwell, but the story did tie in nicely and introduced us to new allies for Jade. Jade, who definitely does not want to know her future, even if it may help her at times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars For An Excellent "Spinoff"
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I am a huge fan of the Dowser series by Meghan Ciana Doidge, so buying and reading this book was a given. I'm so glad I did. Rochelle and Beau are two of my favorite characters Ms Doidge has created. From the first chapter, I liked Rochelle and cared about her. She's smart, spunky and admirable. She's had a rough start in life, has some major issues (according to the human world she lives in), but she hasn't let any of that define her. She's the kind of heroine I love reading about: She seizes control of her life and makes the best of it. And Beau is the perfect foil for her. He fills in the softer, less-sure of herself aspects of her life. Where Rochelle is small and weak physically, Beau is strong and powerful. Where she is confident and take charge, he is unsure and doubting...and vice-versa. Rarely have a fictional couple so perfectly complemented each other. In short, I loved this book and I highly recommend it. In fact, you should read them all. It's a rare writing talent that can create a world that invites you in, makes you long to live there in spite of the troubles and dangers. Five stars!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing entry in this UF world.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified 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.

    "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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewing the whole sets of interconnected series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified 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.
