Fate

It's been two years since the events in Tattoo and Bailey, along with her friends, are all seniors. Bailey has settled into her role as "the weaver" during the night when she is asleep, but she is worried about what will happen when the school year ends and each of her friends go off to different colleges. Her friends tell her not to worry, but when she is called to the Otherworld, and told that there will be a Reckoning, she panics. Spending the rest of her life with the Sidhe will permanently separate her from her friends. This does not sit well with Bailey. She and her friends have been through so much together that they have a bond that she wants to fight for, but she will need the help of her friends if she is going to figure out show more what to do.

For those who enjoyed Tattoo and want to know what happens to the four girls in the story, this is an entertaining tale, but it does drag at several points throughout the book. There is so much information that must be divulged through exposition, slowing the story down a great deal. However, the dialogue is fresh and realistic, making the characters believable. Overall, Fate is a pleasant sequel that ties up the loose ends left at the conclusion of Tattoo. show less

I have to be honest, I did enjoy the first book more than the second. But, with that being said, this book was fantastic! The beginning was slow and hard to get into, but halfway through, it picked up immensely and I read the rest in one sitting.

I love how loyal Bailey is to her friends and how she is willing to risk everything for them. Her friends are not only her friends, they are her family.

I recommend for anyone who wishes to read this to read the first book, Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. This book was fairly good. Their was only one real fault to it in my opinion. But I'll talk about that later. First I would like to say that Jennifer did an amazing job in this sequel it just as good as Tattoo in the fact that the characters are well described and the dialog is well written. Tattoo was a interesting book that was a real page turner and I was happy to read a sequel and have the four best friends continue their journey of otherwordly events. Even though they've grown up I can still picture them as I did two years ago when I read Tattoo. Even though it's been Tattoo I still have their first book adventure in my mind (this show more shows you how one book can really stick with you if it's well described or well written). Now the fault with this book is that I found the love realtionship between Bailey and Alec not really developed good enough. It wasn't that it was two rushed it was more like it didn't have enough time to develop. So by the end of the book it not developed enough *in my opinion* which left a really not-so-great-ending. I found reading this book was very hard to read at times and I couldn't finish it in one sitting. It took me a week to read this book. I found I read a bit slower so I could understand what was going on. Why I recommend for people to read the first book first is because even though I read the original I still have forgotten things which are mention in here and aren't completely explain and can seem confusing. They were to me. Anyways on my scale this book deserves a 3 star rating. Don't get me wrong this was a absolutely good sequel for such a well done book like Tattoo. show less

I liked that Barnes continued the story but the ending was too rushed. If she had taken more time it would have allowed for better character development of all the new 'people' Bailey meets.
