It never ceases to amaze me just how great of a writer Ms. Gray is. Quite often I am reluctant to pick up one of her books and read, I'm not sure why as I enjoy every one of them. However as soon as I read one I'm instantly hooked again. Fateful was no exception. While very different from the Evernight series, the writing is still just as good. While this is clearly a standalone book, or at least it really needs to stay that way even if we're living in a world where one book never really tells the full story, I'm not against her writing more stories similar to this. The concept of taking a historical fascination and placing a supernatural spin on it is unique and can actually make history much more interesting in some cases.
Rambling Reviews
There is no doubt about it, I should probably be going to meetings for my book addiction. Not only do I love reading, but I have this really bad habit of buying WAY more books than I could ever hope to read. But to me that's part of the fun. After all I never know what I'll be in the mood for so having a relatively large selection is justified, right?
The thing that I love about reading is that it is a great way to escape the stress of everyday life. And best of all, I can do it pretty much anywhere! When I can't (or just flat out don't want to) cope with whatever life's handed my way I can just glide on over to my trusty bookshelf. From there I can decide if I want to go back in history, or on some thrilling hunt for a murderer, or have a steamy little fling with a hunk right out of a New Adult novel. Whatever mood strikes, I can transport myself there and get a break from the real life madness.
