Series: Enchanted Gods

Summary: Katrina Summer finally comes to terms with her enchanted skin as she is challenged with an evil that threatens Apollo Beach.

In a desperate search for her missing locket, Katrina is swept into a whole new world of mythological enchantment that places her at the helm of a looming threat. As she makes new discoveries about her bloodline and meets descendants of other enchanted breeds, she unearths the most disturbing Summer family secret of all.

Amid the chaos, Katrina is determined to maintain whatever normalcy she can. She accepts a job at Island Grille where the devilishly gorgeous bartender, Johnny Pierce, makes life even more challenging. Katrina struggles between her lingering and undeniable attraction for Alec, the secrets she must keep from him, and a betrayal she never sees coming.

Mysterious deaths, signs of pollution rising in the bay, the discovery of fated love, and the dark history that follows her enemy's motives stir up an entirely new and frightening adventure. Katrina discovers that being an Enchanter holds a responsibility that might just be worth killing for.

FATED is Book 2 in the all-new ENCHANTED GODS series.

Review: The first thing I have to say is if you have not read Cursed yet. Read that one first, I highly suggest reading the series in order. The second thing is just to reiterate that I think Johnny will end up being the good guy, with Alec as the bad guy. I called it from the first book so I felt like I had to say it again before I begin. Honestly even if Johnny ends up being the bad guy he will forever be my favorite. About 25-30% into the book I learned so much new information that I had questions and all sorts of guesses running around my head. I loved all the twists and turns. Just like Cursed, Fated was such a smooth and easy read. How DARE the book end the way it did!? It is absolutely not fair. Even though it ends in a way that makes me absolutely need the next one I love the way it ends. I absolutely cannot wait to read Taken. If I could give this book an 8 out of 5 I would. But my scale only goes to 5+ this whole series so far has been a must read.  I honestly think I'll be reading it again once the full series is out.
