Review of Fateful by Cheri Schmidt


Description:

A huge fan of Jane Austen, Danielle hopes to find her own Mr. Darcy when she leaves Colorado to attend art school in London. Of course she knows it's silly to wish for that, naive even. But she's met enough males who lacked respect for women, a growing trend it seemed. And at nineteen...well.... However, on only her second night there she gets lost and is threatened by a stalker who proves to be immune to her martial arts training. Before she is completely overpowered, she is then saved by Ethan Deveroux.

While Danielle does find the romance she seeks in Ethan, he's no Mr. Darcy. Her hero is held by a spell which fractures their chance at a happy ending. During the day Ethan is closer to mortal than immortal and can date her like any other man. Yet, as the sun sets, the powerful magic of an ancient curse returns and the evil of that spell is revealed. When that magic begins, Danielle's fairytale romance ends because Ethan Deveroux is a vampire. 


Review: 

Oh man did I love this fabulous read.  I am a huge twilight lover and all things gentle vampires.  I am not really into the gory blood draining, shredding humans bit.  This book was about vampires who resist drinking human blood.

I loved the setting, an American girl in London.  Guys with British accents are just sexy, vampire or not:)  I definitely pictured Ethan as a sexy Brit.  I also enjoyed the tension between Ethan and Danielle.

I loved the storyline in this book as well.  It was unique and had many great elements to it, such as the introduction of fairies and their loving nature.  There was a lot of twists and the story never dragged.

This was such a spectacular young adult/ new adult read.  Add this book to your must read list, folks.  Then check out Fractured and Forever in the series.  I give this story five glittery stars!

Book of the Week #16


My pick of the week:

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great start to an excellent series. It had vampires and soulmates all rolled into one. There was plenty of intrigue as well.

 Book:Found

Author: Ashley Stoyanoff






Anxious to leave her destructive past behind, Amelia Caldwell moves to Willowberg, excited for a fresh start. Once there, she discovers that her birthmark is more than it seems. She has been marked by a vampire’s soul. Not only does she hold his soul, but Amelia is also his soulmate.

After almost a century of searching for his soulmate, Mitchell Lang fears the worst—he is going to lose Amelia to another man. His heart takes over, and his impulsive decision to take away her free will and to intensify their bond quickly turns her growing love into hate.

When they become trapped in the emotional rollercoaster of their souls' bond, open conflict erupts. Amelia has no intentions of belonging to anyone, not even her soulmate, and Mitchell refuses to let her go.

While she frantically searches for a way to escape his grasp, Amelia unlocks the painful memories of her past and uncovers a powerful secret. But before she has a chance to explore her newfound edge, she finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly game of revenge and is forced to realize that YOU CANNOT RUN FROM DESTINY.
