My Review

5 Unlocking Fate Stars

Going into this read I had it in my head that I knew which way this book would go. I was so damn wrong. I should have known Rebecca Zanetti would rock my world. As I plan to keep this review spoiler free I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts to words, but Imma try. Let me start by saying I loved this book. It was everything I hoped for and more.

Having read about Hope, Drake and Pax growing up through the series I kind of had an idea of the adults they would become, but RZ dug deep and really developed their character. Especially Pax and Drake. I had my thoughts on which male Hope would end up mated to. Of course I can't say because spoiler free....but I will say that the romance was steamy, the sexual tension was off the charts and Hope made the right choice in my opinion.

I loved getting to see my favorites Talen, Dage, Zane etc. We meet some of the original couples adult kids in this book. Which gave me all the feels. I really hope RZ gives us the Kids' love stories. I really need them in my life. Just sayin'. There was some fast pace action in this book. Lots of twist and turns I didn't see coming. There was also a lot of answers to questions I have had since book 1. Ulric was as creepy and evil as ever. I didn't know how he was going to be handled but RZ really delivered the goods on that epic battle. I was really surprised with the Vero story. I loved seeing how brave and strong Hope was and I loved that her family didn't baby her, but treated her with respect. I will say I have a few more questions now that this book/series is over. I really REALLY really hope RZ does a spin off series with the couples kids or continues with this series. I am not ready to say goodbye.
