She’s fighting for her life as an Aeon and working hard to save her town and her world. Like the other Aeons, she uses her special ability in her battle against Dark Sides. Her’s is reading auras and connecting with her ancestors for help. After all, a lot is at stake, so she can use all the help she can get. But as darkness is getting harder and harder to thrive in, she’s not sure even her ancestors can save the day.
Cooper Munson, a former bounty hunter turned doctor of psychology, and Aeon as well, has prided himself on being a solid member of their little band of light workers, using his ability as an empath to define truths and manage others. But the constant interaction with Dark Aspects is disorganizing his very soul. He can’t see a way through for him back to balance in light and love.
Cooper and Skye are not alone in the mission, they know. But things are getting complicated, and with darkness closing in, stronger and stronger, will they survive long enough to save the world from Dark Sides? What will they have to do to truly save their town and their world?
In the climactic conclusion of the Dark Sides series, will the Aeons prevail and change the balance between dark and light for good? Or will Dark Sides, with despair and oppression, rule take down Auralia, then world? Can Cooper and Skye go deeper into darkness and learn the truth about love and light before it’s too late?
Reviews
"Crandall asks a harder question: what does it cost to be a hero when you’re still healing? The novel’s true accomplishment is its treatment of mental health within a speculative framework. Cooper’s empathic overload and Skye’s panic attacks aren’t narrative decoration; they drive tactical choices and shape how trust is built between characters. Their romance develops with unusual restraint, replacing grand declarations with quiet gestures of care and recognition…See Me succeeds… as romance grounded in psychological realism, where being “seen” isn’t about salvation but about enduring connection in an unstable world. Thematically, See Me grapples with moral complexity. This will resonate with anyone seeking emotional realism and slow-burn romance—built on mutual healing—over explosive action."
"See Me is perhaps not my usual reading fare, but the ideas and characteristics of the characters intrigued me and kept me turning pages. Lynn Crandall has created an interesting concept. Although the idea is a little reminiscent of X-Men, these special powers were more subtle, cerebral and unusual…I also liked the teamwork between the Aeons. One thing that gives this story an added dimension is the slow-burning, burgeoning romance between Skye and Cooper. The sweetness, innocence, and naivety with which this story arc was woven through the action sequences were integral to the overall feel of the novel. The gentleness of the relationship beautifully counterbalanced the violence and action. …The power of love and light to the world definitely shines through every page, and resonates with me."
