I love Torin St. James... I need his strength…
But someone from his past wants me dead.
Raine Cooper is certain of two things: her love for Torin St. James and her destiny to be a powerful seeress. But when she starts having premonitions, they are unclear and disturbing. Worse, they involve Torin. With her mother gone, her father dying, and her best friend in Hel, she is not sure who to talk to.
But when the visions become more personal and she foresees her future with Torin threatened by someone from his past, Raine becomes desperate for answers. Just her luck two new students arrive at her school and they seem to have answers. When with them, her powers are enhanced and her visions become clear. There is only one problem: Torin forbids Raine to see the two girls.
Can their love survive without trust?
Runes Series Books:
I pushed the matter of the witch aside for the rest of the day. After school, Torin dropped me off at the back our shop.
“Text me when you’re done,” he said.
The back door of the store dinged when I pushed it open. Mirage was our family shop. We did custom framing, but we also sold mirrors. Lots of mirrors. Big. Small. Runed and unruned frames. People didn’t notice them or if they did, they just assumed they were part of the designs.
Mom had hired an assistant before she left. Hawk. An Immortal. If Dad knew about him, he’d hit the roof. He didn’t like Asgardians as he liked to call Immortals and Valkyries yet he was married to Mom, a Valkyrie, and I was an Immortal. The irony was lost on him.
Hawk didn’t seem to be around, but Jared was with the one person I didn’t want to see, his wife Celine. The bubbly blonde could drive any sane person crazy with her smothering.
“Raine,” Jared said, waving me over. “How’s school?”
“Busy. Hey, Celine.”
“Oh, you poor dear.” Her beefy arms looped around me in a hug. She came up only to my chin and I had my backpack looped over my shoulder, which made our hug awkward. She stepped back and gripped my hands. “How’s your mother doing?”
“Better. She’ll be home soon.” Mom had left six weeks ago, so we’d come up with a reason for her sudden disappearance. She was officially undergoing treatment at a private institution for nervous breakdown. Dad’s illness had taken a toll on her.
“How are you coping, dear? How is your father doing?”
“Dad’s doing much better and, uh…” I tried to wiggle my hand from the woman’s, but her grip tightened. “I’m fine too.”
“Oh, how brave you are. First your father’s plane crush then the cancer and now your mother, it’s too much for someone so young to bear.” Tears rushed to her eyes.
I begged Jared with my eyes to rescue me. I had to deal with her when Dad disappeared, then when she learned he was ill and now.
“I was just telling Jared we should visit your mother. She’s been so good to us. She’s at PMI, right?”
“No, she’s at a private hospital in Portland and only family is allowed.” I finally freed my hands. “I’ll let her know you were asking about her.”
“Oh, that’s nice. As for you, young lady,” she peered at me, “I want you to know you can come to the house any time, okay? If you need anything, anything at all, call us. Do you have Jared’s cell phone number?”
“Yes, she does.” Jared practically dragged her out of the store. He came back with a sheepish expression. He ran his hand through his thinning hair. “Sorry about that. Celine has a big heart, but sometimes she gets carried away. So what can I do for you?”
“Dad wants a copy of this month’s inventory and tax forms.”
He chuckled. “The person to talk to is Hawk. Come on. He’s in the office.”
Hawk got to his feet. He was a tall man with coppery complexion, straight black hair, and brown eyes that seemed to never miss a thing. He also loved black suits. “Ms. Lorraine, this is a nice surprise.”
“Dad sent me to get a few things, Mr. Hawk.”
“Hawk. Sit, please.” He indicated the chair across from his. Jared excused himself.
“How’s your father doing?” Hawk asked. He kept the pleasantries short and soon shifted to business. An hour later, he’d explained inventory while I tried to keep up.
“Why are you telling me all this?” I finally asked.
He studied me as though trying to figure me out. I stared right back. Most Immortals I’d met were centuries old, so I tried to figure out how old he was. He could pass for a fifty-something Native American man.
“One day you’ll inherit this place, Ms. Cooper, so you should know how things are run. If you like, you could come to the shop and I can show you.”
Mom never liked me working at the store before. She’d said something about my being clumsy because of a few broken mirrors. Now I knew it had something to do with her customers. She hadn’t wanted me around Immortals. Of course, she hadn’t known about the Norns’ agenda.
“Okay. Until Mom comes back.” She’d be surprised. In a good away, I hoped.
He nodded without cracking a smile. “Every day?”
“No.” I laughed. “I have school and homework and… a life. Let’s start with three days a week. If I can stomach all the business jargons and whatnots, then I’ll add a day. If not, then I can say adios and convince myself I tried.” No, I wasn’t going to quit. I was broke. Mom had forgotten to put more money on my debit card before she left. “I get paid, right?”
“Of course. Ten dollars an hour,” he said.
Sweet. “When do I start?”
“Tomorrow. I can show you what you’ll be doing now.”
“Deal. And please call me Raine.” I leaned forward and offered him my hand, feeling more grownup than I’d felt an hour ago. I reached down for my backpack and got up. He stood too. I put the folder with the tax forms and inventory in my backpack, then left the office.
My eyes met with Andris’.

Let me start off by saying if you haven't started this series yet you absolutely need too!! Its a wonderful series and I can't wait to see what else is to come from Ednah.. hopefully some spin off series (;
Seeress is the three book in the Runes Series. It's a continuation of the story told in Raine's POV. Okay let me started off with what I didn't like because lets me honest its a much smaller list. So what I wasn't to happy with was how Raine seemed to be more stubborn/pigheaded in this book. It wasn't to big of a problem but it frustrated me at times, I want to smack her a few times but it evened itself out and really was okay by the end. That was my only problem with the whole book. Now on to the thing I liked LOVED!
Torin!
Enough said really..if you havent read this series yet you are really missing out Torin is one of the best Book Boyfriends around! I love him to pieces!
"At least sit on the chair and turn off the sexiness."
He laughed. "Turn it off?"
-Raine & Torin
"You distract me period, Freckles. Your voice, Your laugh." He closed his eyes, inhaled deeply and exhaled."Your scent. My essence has a way of finding yours, so no matter where you run, I'll always find you."
-Torin
I Loved Raine 10x more when she was by Torin side. They are perfect, loving and awesome for each other. I loved the side characters as well. Ednah wrote a book called 'Grimnirs' that gave us more insight to Cora and Echo. I love those two ( ps Grimnirs was freaking AMAZING I want to see more from Cora and Echo.) They didnt loose their flare being secondary characters in this book. I enjoyed when they were around. The storyline is awesome and never boring. I was in a trance through the whole book and couldn't put it down.
All in all Seeress was a great addition to the Runes series and I can't wait for book 4 to come out! I hope it will come out soon. I'm dying to know what happens next. Ednah is storytelling goddess. The way she write captives you and will memorize you till the very end! I would recommend this read/ whole series for sure!! Its stupendously Awesome!
