Downloading Haunted Fate: Destined Lovers

Product Description

Victoria’s life was decided for her long before she was even born.
She’s slated to participate in the Legătura , a ceremony to preserve the dying vampire race. Here, she’ll be chosen as a mate—or someone’s next meal. And while Victoria’s blue-violet eyes and her family name should secure a mate, she flees from the community, lest she becomes a vampire’s blood servant.
Caleb is the hard-hearted, ill-tempered head of a powerful vampire bloodline. Taking a human mate, even though it spells salvation for their kind, absolutely repulses him. Yet he can’t seem to get Victoria off his mind when news of her escape is reported to the Council. When she’s captured and brought back to the community for her own Legătura , he’s compelled to claim her.
While Victoria uncovers shocking truths about the vampires and herself, looming danger and undeniable desire propel the two opposing lovers closer together.

Review

Worth reading ?? A unique new paranormal romance, fans of vampire lore will fall in love with Caleb and Victoria's story.
A paranormal romance with a bit of a slow-burn, I really enjoyed Destined Lovers, the first book in a new series by C. A. Cleary.
For a series starter, Destined Lovers has an abundance of world building. Cleary did an excellent job at creating a world full of paranormal creatures, each with their own characteristics, personalities, and challenges. While the main species were introduced in an early flashback, this book primarily focuses on the vampires, specifically Caleb, his brother Collin, and their inner circle.
Comparable to the loads of details that went into the world building, Cleary also features a lot of characters in Destined Lovers . If I had to find something to critique about this book, it would be the sheer number of point of views Cleary writes in; at time, it took me a moment to figure out whose perspective I was reading. However, the overall plot was intriguing, as Cleary slowly introduces the reader to the world of vampires right alongside Victoria. I loved that Victoria was much more than just a helpless female character; she had her own strengths and talents and was not afraid to stand up for herself, even against the big, scary vampires. Even stoic Caleb had a full character development, and it was lovely to watch his ice-cold heart slowly start to melt around Victoria.
Of course, no romance, even a paranormal one, would be complete without some conflict, and Cleary provides plenty. With a perfect mix of internal and external conflict, both Victoria and Caleb had their work cut out for them. The personality is rife even among the secondary characters, and I can't wait to see what adventures await Caleb and Victoria's friends and family in future books in the series. Unique, intriguing, and thoroughly engrossing, Destined Lovers is a great new paranormal romance from C. A. Cleary.
