The Girl Who Sees

Publisher's Summary

I'm an illusionist, not a psychic.

Going on TV is supposed to advance my career, but things go wrong. 

Like vampires and zombies kind of wrong. 

My name is Sasha Urban, and this is how I learned what I am.

Great Read

I am a Male, but I still enjoy stories with a female protagonist who is strong and has a sense of humor. I loved this book and have already purchased the next two. I know I won't be disappointed.

all over the place

I struggled not sure where this was supposed to take me felt like the whole book was a couple chapters set up. No character progression until the end.

a good story

I enjoyed listening to this novel. It was a good story with a few plot twists I was not expecting. Worth reading.

Interesting Supernatural World, Enjoyable read

I enjoyed the storyline. I also enjoyed the perspective from the magician. It was different. I thought the story flowed well. The world building will continue in the next book. Much of this story was spent with the heroine discovering what she is. So, the other characters true supernatural species was unknown until the end. There was lots of action which I also enjoyed. I did find myself frustrated with the main character being taken advantage of. I hope she grows to stand up for herself in the next books. I had a hard time picturing the main character with the narrator's voice. For me, the narrator came across as older than the main character. Other than that, I think she did a great job. This is the first book in the series. So expect some loose ends.

So much potential

I wanted to like this book but it was a struggle just making it to the end. It was just so wordy and it seemed a lot of the information had nothing to do with the plot. It's like the author for distracted by unnecessary stuff

Alot to like, plenty to dislike.

the protag was fun and the story was interesting and engaging, the protag was pretty dumb and the plot has some holes but the author did a good job of telling an engaging story. I would consider reading other works by this author. i was annoyed by the fact that all the men were either antagonists or weaklings and that after half a book the protag is still bumbling around unbelieving of the supernatural, thats some act 1 shit.

I really should not have started listening to this

I made it to 11 minutes before the creepy male privilege vibe of Darien with the implied blackmail, the underlying idea that he might be planning untoward advances towards Sasha when he asks the staff to leave the room, and the comment describing his voice as having a predatory edge had me cringing.
Context: today Dr Ford is being questioned by the Senate Judiciary committee about allegations of sexual assault... The writers of this piece (hopefully) unconsciously echo the message that a pretty woman (or any woman) should bow to the wishes of a male...Sasha's comments even admit to the idea that Darien might be about to propose something untoward as though it's the perfectly normal response.
Sorry, we need to remove the idea that women are things to men from the narrative... Attempted blackmail within 10 minutes of the start of the story isn't a good start.

dissapointing

okay listen if you want a book that's easily put to one side. in some places it could have been exciting if the narration was a bit more enthusiastic. I have a feeling this is better read than listened to.
I may by the second book and read it. I won't be buying the audiobook .

Great first-in-series book

I'm loving this book so far - one line in particular made me literally laugh out loud (unintentionally I think!). The heroine is feeling poorly and turns to the internet for help: "...I googled 'Stroke' and 'Pleasure' but didn't get many hits, so..."
