Although there were a lot of moments when I thought the scenes were very very similar to some from the Twilight books, I really liked the book overall. The action captivated me at one point and I just couldn`t let it go. It`s light reading, I agree but it`s well written and I it has a rather entrancing story.

I just cannot decide who Alice should be with. Peter, older, wiser, yet still knows how to be a total jerk or Jack, young, spontaneous, lives in the moment?

I guess that decision has been made...or has it?

Off to the next book in this series.

Oh man, this one was a hard book to finish. Everyone on this fucking book is a bloody moron, the romance, if you can even call it that, is fucking deplorable , and the plot has more holes than a fucking French cheese. I'm just glad I went through this painful read for one reason only: I will never read more books by Amanda Hocking. I loved the Trylle trilogy, Kanin or whatever was a huge disappointment, I tried her mermaid series, couldn't go past the first couple chapters.

My Blood Approves, the first book of this series had some potential, but Fate completely and utterly obliterated any hopes I had. Like seriously, how can a character be so damn stupid? Alice is suicidal to say in the least, every time someone told her, 'hey, bitch, don't do this shit, you gonna end up dead.', she's like, 'oh, yeah, u right - giggle', only to five fucking seconds later, do exactly what she was told not to do.
And the thing is, she was not the only dumb character, oh - no, Jack, the vampire acts also as if he's brain-dead. Mae and Ezra were annoying af, not to mention, totally unnecessary characters, they honestly didn't bring anything to the table. About Milo, the gay vampire brother, I pitted him throughout the whole book, his sister is an egotistical asshole, who doesn't give two flying fucks about him, even though she was always trying to convince herself and others that she did.
Peter, Alice's one true mate (snort), sounded like the only truly interesting character worth reading about, until that is, he shows up only at the end of the book, only to do something stupid, like leave Alice, the sick bitch, alone with his brother, who is obviously in love with her and wants to keep her for himself. But of course, believing that someone on this book could act in an intelligent way, is believing pigs fly, really.

And thats all I gotta say about Fate, only good things, as you've seen. The only reason why I rated it with two stars and not one, is that it managed to keep me awake until almost 4am because the characters were frustrating the fuck out of me - and I also secretly wished they could just get over it and kill each other, now that would've been a riot.

I started this as a kid and I continue to get side tracked away from it, even as an adult.
