I thought Sarah Alderson's Hunting Lila was a really fun book, so I knew I had to read this as soon as I saw who wrote it. Fated has the same feel, but still quite a bit different from Hunting Lila. We now the story of Evie, who just found out she's a demon hunter; and Lucas, who's sent undercover to get close enough to kill her.
I have to say that the world Alderson describes is really interesting. Filled with all sorts of species, from Scorpio demons to Vampires. I enjoyed learning a More...

I wanted to love this book, I really did.
You know how I liked ‘Hunting Lila’ and you might know that I like a lot Alderson's style – so don’t get me wrong, the characters are enjoyable and there is a lot of humor in this story, but for some reason it was just not enough.
At the beginning I thought this story would be perfect for me.
I liked Evie (what a nice name!). She was smart, sassy and she didn't let anyone walk all over her.
She was scared at first, f More...

I wish that they hadn't put the Fated excerpt in the back of Hunting Lila because then I wouldn't be FREAKING HOOKED! I want this book a lot. A lot! And after reading Hunting Lila as well, this author is a-ma-zing! Truly.
No doubt Fated will be in my hands the second it hits the shelves. :D

The first novel I've read of Sarah Alderson was Hunting Lila and I enjoyed it so much. I was really amazed on how she wrote the story and she instantly became one of my favorite authors then. So when I read a featured excerpt of Fated by the end of Hunting Lila I was instantly hooked up. I had it on my to-read list right away and had become one of my most anticipated reads for 2012.

I was lucky to win Fated through the You Give=We Give campaign, as well as Alderson's debut novel Hunting Lila published in 2011 which has gained a lot of praise.

I spent a good half hour wondering how I was going to write this. So I ended up thinking…and thinking…and thinking. But I just couldn’t find the words. Brodie said: “Fated will hook you in the moment you open the book.” That’s true! As for what Sarah Alderson said: “I hope you like it…” which was really in the style of, “I hope you like it but I know you won’t like it because there’s another steamy scene and steamy scenes don’t digest well with you because, clearly, you need to have that sort of

Going into this book, I had very high expectations. Although, I wasn't a big fan of Sarah Alderson's Hunting Lila, I decided to give Fated a try because the summary and cover drew me in.
I'm not too sure about how I feel when it comes to this book. At times I enjoyed it and other times I got bored.

I just this minute finished Fated. I'm not quite sure what to say about it, but I'll try! There was much to like, and there were a few things I wanted more of.
It is an interesting story, that's for sure. I like the idea of demon hunters. Oh wait, Hunters of the Unhuman. I like to think that there are special beings out there protecting me from evil and harm. I loved the training scenes. I wonder how I would fare in some of this training?

Sarah Alderson has a knack for stories of this kind. And by stories of this kind, I mean those that pair up unlikely people together in a story that if not mystery-filled then with some pretty interesting twists in them. Plus the action, when there was some, went non-stop. Plus have I mentioned how hot most of them seem to be? Definitely, no wilting wall flowers here or scrawny barely there boys either.

If this whole book was as good as the last 100 pages, I would be a happy camper. Alas, it wasn't.
The beginning really dragged for me. It took way too long to get into the obvious story. From early on, you could tell what was going to happen... Evie was going to fall for Lucas and he was going to fall for her. It took 200 pages for this to happen and we only get one somewhat steamy scene?!!?!? Seriously?!?!?! All that build up for one stinking scene?!!?!?! AHHHH!!!!

'Fated' is an incredible action-packed ride which was so deliciously good that it definitely left me wanting more. It opens with a shocking prologue which really grabbed my attention from the very first opening sentence. This led onto a couple of explosive chapters which set the pace for a story which was tense, gripping and exciting.

In Short
- A unique paranormal book
- Sarah was able to make her own little ‘mark’ on the paranormal genre
- Lots of great twists which will keep you gripped
- Sarah is a very talented author who’s writing flows really well.
In Long
I will admit that I wasn’t really that excited about Fated, I was worrying that I wouldn’t be able to get into it due to not being able to get into paranormal books as easily lately. I was wrong!

If you read and loved Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson, then you should be prepared to know that this book is nothing like it. I am not saying it isn't fabulous, I am just saying it is completely different. This book is full of fast action, edge of your seat moments, involving Hunters whose sole destiny is to destroy Unhumans. Think how Stephanie Meyer wrote Host which is in a completely different vein to the Twilight books and you will understand what I mean. Luckily I had been prepared for a di
