258 pages of adventure and mystery wrapped into a science fiction novel that kept me captivated till the last page! I have wanted a brainteaser of a book and this was it for me. It was a journey through the minds of Seers and watching them bloom after being so sheltered due to The Guild, into their own beings while remembering their past and looking forward towards their futures as they reach in and discover the power they are capable of.
All the characters had a place and I was heartbroken at the death of a few that I will not name! But the story flowed wonderfully, started off with action to capture one's attention, and Lilith and Liam's adventure began. There are a few scenes with sexual content, but it is tasteful and graceful, it was so intimate, loving, and displayed the love between two characters and the emotions were felt.
I won this book in a Goodreads' First Reads giveaway and I am so happy I did because this book is a page turner! It is Cecere Rennie Murphy's debut novel, and a wonderful heart gripping story through the life of Seers, through captivity, love, and defeating the odds set against them. I look forward to the sequel set to release sometime this year.

This has been an excellent trilogy with each book as exciting as the others. Well written with a good plot, plenty of action and a host of characters you'll not easily forget.

With an interesting plot and plenty of action, "Order of the Seers" was a thrilling read. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

This story starts right where book 2 left off. Joel, lilli and the other seers are watching the demon disappear, not knowing that there is a new evil out there. It is up to them to save the human race.
Now this is that last book and I was so sad. I dont want to give anything away because I want you to read it.
The book has all the old characters as well as some new ones. The Seer's powers have developed so much over the story. They end up having to work with the guild to defeat the new evil that is threatening them all. There is so much up and down. I put this book down and felt satisfied with how the story ended.

Liam and Lilith Knight, are brother and sister who are hunted by The Guild. They are an organization that wants to capture and exploit Lilith s ability as a Seer. She is not the first. They have been kidnapping other seer's and using them to build their organization.
Inside the organization though there is a powerful seer named Marcus Akida. With the help of Alessandra they are able to escape and are drawn to a commune Iowa where the siblings are. As the Guild gets closer to finding them, the seers and the other outcasts work together to fight back.
It was an easy read. It was so quick moving that it was done before I knew what was going on. I loved it! I cant wait for more.

It was really good. The beginning was nauseating and super sad, but it got better. I loved it overall. I can't wait to read the sequel.

Neighborhood book club selection. Author is local and will be in attendance. I am curious about her motivations. But what do I say about this sprawling story that slides all over the place?
Kept my interest with two sympathetic characters but there are lots of others. It's ambitious and violent with a steamy prolonged sex scene. I just kept waiting for it to go somewhere.

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Beautiful ending! Once again, readers will not be disappointed. Since this is the last book, I will not talk much about it but I will say that this book is heart-wrenching and amazing altogether. It continues right where The Red Order ended: a demon flying to the sky, screaming. The last seers and the Guild must join forces in order to defeat this evil that has been unleashed into the world.
Everything came together for this ending. While it still hurts to think about certain things that happened in this book, it gives the reader so many emotions while reading that the reader can't help but love love love this book!
I completely enjoyed it, I love the characters so much. I can't begin to describe the love I have for the characters—they have succeeded in taking a part of my heart with them.
I am happy yet sad that this series has come to an end because I want to keep reading. I want more of this world of the seers, more of the action, more of the characters and more of the passion that Cerece has put into writing such magnificent stories.

I have never read a book about stories. I may have read books that had seers but not they weren't the major focus. If you don't know what seers are, seers are humans with powers that can see the future in visions. It starts off with a brother and sister, Liam and Lilli, who find their mother dead because The Guild was searching for Lilli who is a seer. Their mother leaves some videos for them, explaining why she never told them about The Guild, about their father's death, among other secrets. After the siblings hear this discovery, they follow the instructions their mom left them and travel to a place where they will find help.
The Guild is a place where people capture seers in order to study them and use them against the world to manipulate. At The Guild, we are introduced to two seers: Alessandra and Marcus. Marcus has been waiting for Alessadra, for she will help restore the order of the seers. Out of all the seers in this book, I believe Alessandra is the one that has gone through more torture, has seen the most deaths and this is why she is shy and reserved. Marcus shares his story with Alessandra and she starts trusting him more and more each day. They come up with an escape plan and finally they leave The Guild with other seers that managed to see what was going to happen. They travel to the same place that Liam and Lilli traveled, which is where humans are living.
Alessandra has seen visions of Liam and herself being together, which to her is strange because Liam barely acknowledges her. I ship these two characters a lot. There is a scene where absoluetly nothing is happening and I was already fanning my face because it was intense and steamy...without anything happening, I know. You have to read to find out ;)
Humans and seers unite to fight the evil that has overpowered their nation to destroy the seers. The ending is sad. There isn't really much of a cliff-hanger. Yes, it continues but it doesn't leave you hanging, but what it does do is that at the end it includes ONE page of the second book and it includes a cliff-hanger!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is described in third person point of view, which gives more insight into the other characters and I found that quite enjoyable and I could understand more of what was going on.
