Fate by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3.0
It's been two years since the events in Tattoo and Bailey, along with her friends, are all seniors. Bailey has settled into her role as "the weaver" during the night when she is asleep, but she is worried about what will happen when the school year ends and each of her friends go off to different colleges. Her friends tell her not to worry, but when she is called to the Otherworld, and told that there will be a Reckoning, she panics. Spending the rest of her life with the Sidhe will permanently separate her from her friends. This does not sit well with Bailey. She and her friends have been through so much together that they have a bond that she wants to fight for, but she will need the help of her friends if she is going to figure out what to do.
For those who enjoyed Tattoo and want to know what happens to the four girls in the story, this is an entertaining tale, but it does drag at several points throughout the book. There is so much information that must be divulged through exposition, slowing the story down a great deal. However, the dialogue is fresh and realistic, making the characters believable. Overall, Fate is a pleasant sequel that ties up the loose ends left at the conclusion of Tattoo.
