kell_x 's review for:
A Simple Twist of Fate
by April Asher
I don't think I can really translate into coherent words how much I just loved this book. I just loved everything about it!
The writing, the world building, the plot, the characters, the simple twists and surprises...
It was the perfect story, at the perfect moment!
Harry is a witch and lives in NY, and helps her best friend raise her teenage daughter. When her powers start to grow out of control, and they can't even begin to understan what Grace really is from, her mom goes on a quest to find answers. And that leaves Harry with a teen and some wacky powers. When it all breaks, she decides to return to Fates Haven, her small town, the same place she swore never to return. A place with great magic.
She had run 13 years back, since a dreadfull mating cerimony had gone wrong. And she was ok (or trying) living with that. But big girl panties were needed because Grace needed her help, and in her 'borrowed 'mama bear mode she returned, knowing she would eventually meet Jax.
Jax is a shifter, and is the alpha. He learned a long time ago to live is life as best he could, and tried every single day not to miss Harry. Better said then done, right.
When she returns they have so many unfinished business that takes them a while to work it out. But with some meddling friends and family the love and care of that town grows on them. With patience they manage to find some answers that can help Grace and maybe help them heal from the past.
I laughed so hard with the banter both between main characters, but also with the side ones also.
Grace was such an important part of this story, almost as the main ones. Her teenage sass and sarcasm and way to feel as only a 16 year old can were perfectly translated in this story. We could feel so many things along side with her.. And waching her bloom, grow confidence and love?
And the others?
I kept changing my favorite character through out the book. I guess I just can't decide. I want so badly to learn all their stories..
I want a thousand more books in this world. Fates Haven is just amazing! Can't wait for the next ones.
