Product Description
What happens when you discover you aren't who you thought you were? And that the person you love is the person who will betray you? If your fate is already determined, can you fight it?
When Evie Tremain discovers that she’s the last in a long line of Demon slayers and that she’s being hunted by an elite band of assassins –Shapeshifters, Vampires and Mixen demons amongst them – she knows she can’t run. They’ll find her wherever she goes. Instead she must learn to stand and fight.
But when the half-human, half-Shadow Warrior Lucas Gray - is sent to spy on Evie and then ordered to kill her before she can fulfil a dangerous prophecy, their fates become inextricably linked. The war that has raged for one thousand years between humans and demons is about to reach a devastating and inevitable conclusion. Either one or both of them will die before this war ends.
If your life becomes bound to another’s, what will it take to sever it?

I ended up torn on giving this book three stars because compared to some of the other books I've read lately it's not quite as good, in my opinion. The characters were a bit shallow, Lucas and Risper seemed to be a bit more well rounded, I liked that we weren't sure if Risper was trustworthy or not. Lucas is the usual brooding sort, but he seems to have given up an awful for Evie, who he really has only met. Evie herself annoyed me to no end, I know she was trying to go against what was expected and not kill people but not even wanting to learn how to protect herself from all her enemies just seemed stupid and selfish. At every turn someone else has to defend her and people died doing it in the end.
However, other than those few things parts of this story did keep a hold on me, I liked how when Evie found out she was the next Buffy there was a moment of complete disbelief. How she reacted to the first time the brotherhood tried to kill her and Victor's explanation was all very realistic to me. Also the deaths, even the baddie's, were quite sad and the book doesn't trivalise death like so much supernatural fiction does these days. The prophecy was a bit predictable but Alderson added her own twist which makes me think the next book in the series will be even better. I did like this book and will keep an eye out for a follow up but it did drag a bit in places and I thought parts were under developed. Definitely have a try though, for those of you on the fence, this isn't a bad book.

My initial reaction when I started this book was WOW. So completely different from Sarah's first book and yet full of all of the things that made me love Hunting Lila.
From the very first page the pace of this book is awesome. The story jumps straight into the action and doesn't let up until the very end. I loved this as it meant I didn't have a second to get bored which meant I just wanted to keep reading page after page until I got to the very end as I just needed to know what was going to happen next.
I also loved that this book was very much a novel in itself. What I mean by that is often with a "first-in-the-series" book you get lots of backstory and setting up of the series but often not much happens. This certainly wasn't the case and while you were left wanting more as a reader I was happy that I had got somewhere and some way into the story and that at least some of the questions I had whirling around my head were at least partially answered.
Fated is a bit like a take on Buffy at first glance. A Teenage girl called Evie is destined to save humans against the demons ... sorry Unhumans ... who is sent a mentor to watch over her and train her so she can become the ultimate Unhuman killer. She is kick-ass and sassy and quite happy to speak her own mind and of course there is a gorgeous boy involved who isn't quite what he seems. Don't get me wrong it isn't a blatant rip off and the story does it's own thing in a variety of different ways. I liked the most (History Geek alert) how Evie's extended family tree was interwoven into the backstory. I also enjoyed Sarah's take on the Unhumans that were after Evie and how they were her own unique take on the average demons you come across in novels.
Another thing I love about Sarah's books so far is how she writes her characters. Evie is instantly someone you can get behind and warm to as you follow her story. I love how she is trying her best to get by in a world where she really hasn't been given a break without whinging but by doing something practical to get herself sorted. I also loved Lucas as a character because he was both gorgeously hot (wait to you get to 'that' scene) but I also seeing how conflicted he was in the way he lived his life.
All in all this novel was a brilliant read with interesting characters, engaging ideas and a fantastically pacey storyline which will make you want to carry on reading page after page. Bring on the rest of the series!!!

When I saw Fated I was immediately curious. There has been many great things said about Sarah Alderson and I wanted to read one of her books to see what everyone loves about her. As soon as I read the first chapter of Fated, I couldn't put it down. The book just got better and better. There was action, boy problems, forbidden romances, strong characters and a great plot. Sarah dragged me into her world of paranormal creatures and locked me there.
Evie, the main character, was full of determination and blossoming beauty. She refused to fall in love with the boy who was living in her spare bedroom, and, damn, that takes a lot self-control since that boy is the most gorgeous boy she's ever seen. Lucas *Girls start screaming and grannies start fainting* was one of my favourite characters. Why? You all ask. It's because he is irreversibly hot with a smile that will knock you off your feet. He has secrets and emotions that he keeps locked up inside of him, but can Evie set them free? Of course she can! Blue eyes and dark brown hair. Lucky girl, many women would kill for that kind of that combonation. I loved the chemistry between the two, sure, it was tense at times but I could see that something beautiful was forming!
We even see a Twilight joke!
"Are you trying to tell me that was Edward Cullen outside? Because you know, I thought he was supposed to be hotter than that. And a whole lot more romantic."
Fated was a brilliant read which made my heart pound against my ribs. It was full of great scenes, they were all described really well, I had a really clear picture of the action in my head. I recommend this book to everyone who loves a paranormal read before they go to bed.
