Spark of Fate (Shifting Fate #1) by Tessa Hale - Starting December 10th, 2022

[Danique]

It was supposed to be a fresh start. A completely blank slate in a place where no one knew about the tragedy that ripped her family apart six months ago. A tragedy Rowan can’t help but blame herself for.

Now the only thing she wants is to blend in. To escape the house that has become more like a prison. Her new school is her only hope. Somewhere she can pretend she’s just like everyone else.

Only Rowan doesn’t realize how unique she is. Holden is the first to recognize it, but he’s not the last.

Rowan can’t explain the draw she feels to the guys who have found their way into her life. The way something seems to spark the first moment she touches each of them. How it almost hurts to walk away from them at the end of each day.

Things are changing, from the ripple of power humming just below her skin to this new family she’s finding herself a part of. But not all of the changes are good.

Someone doesn’t like the power Rowan is stepping into or the bonds she’s forming with the guys who have gifts as rare and strong as her own. And when the truth is revealed, it has the power to burn everything in its wake…

Okay! I'm guessing the same is true for the Broken Bonds series right?

Alright great, should I do 2/3 days in between the Broken Bonds books? I'll start with planning those and we'll see after that if there's time for this series lol

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Every two days will be good. As for this series, I have it on audio so I will fly through it lol

Alright sounds good, I might pick it up early because none of my buddy reads can get my attention at the moment and I’m in the mood for some quick reads

If you want to dive in quicker I'm fine with that too, just let me know!!

[Danique]

Will do! I have to go start a book from the library first (if I can motivate myself lmao) but then I’ll probably start :))

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Sounds good to me, just let me know when you’re starting 😎

[Danique]

Will do!

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

I'm almost done with this one but just wanted to check if we set up dates for the rest of this series?? It's a super quick read so far on audio!

[Danique]

I don’t think so! I’m really behind so no clue when I’ll get to it lol, how many books are there?

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

There are 3 of these. I don't want to rush you if you're not in the mood so let me know what you want to do cuz either way I'm probably diving into the next one lol

[Danique]

Maybe we can plan the others for the 23rd onwards? I will have my Christmas break then so I might read more (I hope)

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

That works, I'll put em to the side :)

[Allie]

I am going to be starting this one tonight!

[Allie]

3% I knew what was coming but that scene still hurt.

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Ch. 13 (view spoiler)[Oh no I hope she's not going to be that annoying heroine who runs from her problems straight into danger lol. I have a bad feeling!!!! So parts of this are cheesy but its an easy and quick audio so far! (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Ch. 25 (view spoiler)[Wonder how long it will take for them to tell her about themselves and even her. I mean seems like something she should be let in on smh. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Ch. 40 (view spoiler)[OK wow her mom is off the deep end now. It went from her being comatose to now a raging hate fueled psycho. I can't believe the way she speaks and treats her daughter. Oh but wait she throws that in her face too. Plus her dad completely not believing her is literally pissing me off. How dare he when he's not even there smh (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[Just me or was it almost too easy that Vaughn got taken down by the other wolf?? Kinda a little lame for me but I get it makes sense for the story and especially Rowan's evolution. Now she's shifted and the process of her adapting, saving the world (maybe) and growing her bond can begin. Certainly helpful she can heal to such and extent but that's also dangerous because others will probably want to abuse her gift. Time will tell. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Loving that these are so short btw

Ch 8
Don’t remember what this is about lol. (view spoiler)[Poor Rowan, Lacey dying and her parents ignoring her… The two guys we’ve met so far are clearly wolves lmao idk. already feels like too much instalove idk if I can handle it but okay, she’s already their mate I guess. And her not bleeding out? She’s clearly paranormal too - a wolf too maybe?

Apparently she is all knowing and can read everyone while she’s just met them bc ofc!!!! That better be a power of hers, otherwise it’s just straightup annoying. I thought the electricity was the mate bond, but maybe it’s a power instead? (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Ch 18
(view spoiler)[Cass definitely seems like she has her own story? Like the guys so far, although they’re all already quite lovey dovey. The guys are so clearly wolves I can’t with her stupidness 🤣 she’s kind of unnecessarily bitchy from the get go to Sadie and stuff but gets mad/annoyed when others tak to her like that???? Dude you’re such a hypocrite wtf. Anson just immediately shares his deepest darkest secret with her???? What is this🤣

damn kinda liked Anson’s bad boy behavior but he’s immediately a puppy now too alright then. Not sure I’m loving it so far, the plot is really obvious and Rowan is being kind of dumb. The romance is cute though. I’m also guessing her dads sister is really her mother or something? Her mention was just too random. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Ch 33
(view spoiler)[Man she needs to figure out that they’re the wolves and her mates 🤣 Think I might like Vaughn, can’t wait to learn more about all of them. It is easy to read though, but I need Rowan to hurry up😂 Her mother is suddenly involved again - kind of weird. The guys are all so cute hehe.

Damn her mother threw a glass at her, that was heartbreaking. But imagine 5 guys feeling your pain from miles away and going all alpha on you damn that’s the dream isn’t it 🤣🤣🤣 Loved that. I wonder if she has healing powers and that’s why she could help Lucas and her own wounds? Would be ironic bc she didn’t save her sister 🤣 sorry no that was savage but I’m tired 🤣 FIIIIINNALLY she knows Vaughn is a wolf pfffffff (hide spoiler)]

I think she might be that kind of heroine lol. I didn’t know there was an audio!! Might switch to that, will definitely finish the broken bonds books first though

I was going to say if possible def switch to the audio, you'll be done even quicker lol.

(view spoiler)[I really like Cass and hope she gets a story. There's so much happening to just her alone I think I may care more about her than Rowan lol (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Ch 46
(view spoiler)[I hate the ‘but I’m just a normal girl!!!’ part of these stories so much lmao. I feel like I need sleep bc I get saltier when I don’t sleep🤣

Oh so they all have gifts? Cool. Had a feeling Lucas could do something with emotions. Surprise, she can indeed heal🙄 they mentioned a mate mark - since she hasn’t mentioned hers yet, why do I now feel like she has more than just these 5??? Oop. I kinda thought Mason would be a bad guy but he seems really good so far, so I’m guessing he’ll die LMAO.

We got a lil hot scene with Anson and Lucas woohooo! Yaaaay she’s finally away from her mother, her father honestly doesn’t seem so bad, poor guy is just hurting. Jazmine and Coby are definitely going to team up with enemy wolves, no doubt about it. Her insecurity about Holden also needs to go pff how many times does a dude need to tell you he wants you🙄 Nothing better happen to Crispin, I like that dude but he’s too random a character to live through it all. It’s 2 am now, I’m going to bed 🤣 (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I lied lmao I’m still reading. Seriously, she gets mad at Holden over JAZMINE kissing HIM????? How is that his fault omg get over yourself. I know he didn’t say anything about their kiss which probably happened when they were like 12, but that’s only because it didn’t mean shit to him. And now she’s running off alone, I’m already over her stupidness. I like the guys, but I don’t really like her tbh.

Aaaah of course she shifted easily, she’s quite the Mary Sue isn’t she. Shifting? Yeah, no big deal, I can just do it easy without any pain. Anyway, that was cute, she’s obv not dead but okay. Cass has a novella then! Can’t believe I read this in a few hours lol, sleep time. (hide spoiler)]

Sounds good, I'll just finish the other buddy reads first before diving into the rest of these

Sounds good, would you like me to make a thread for the next one or wait til you let us know you’re ready? 🤓

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Just remembered about Spells of Iron & Bone, I’m thinking we can reschedule this when you’re caught up. I don’t wanna start the series without you!

You can start a thread so you can start reading the others already, just please plan it for after the 23rd because I’ll have a bigger chance of catching up then 🤣
