Holy hot damn and son of a mother of a trucker, Seizing Fate was a wild wild west roller coaster, of the mixed variety.Before I even turned page one I was anxious as all get out. Would Seizing Fate live up to the expectations I held after finished Resisting Fate? I have told every man and his dog about that book and my affair with Jack Hartman. Was Van Fleet going to break my heart and make Emmys journey through life and love so much harder? Was she going to leave me clutching at my kindle for dear life instead of throwing it into the nearest brick wall by finishing this installment with a cliffy?YesYesKindaWould I take this journey again? Immediately.Life isn't awesome for Emmy. I guess it's kinda lucky for her she doesn't expect any different then, huh? Seizing Fate didn't prove Emmy wrong. Truths were uncovered, revelations revealed, hearts were broken, betrayal cut deep, love was lost, lust, life, greed, nightmares, hatred and death. Not smooth sailing. Not even for a minute. Thankfully Emmy had her wit, internal strength and hilarious internal dialogue to get her this far. She certainly comes out with some pearlers - I wouldn't like to be in an insult flinging match with my girl Emmy.I know she's gonna have to pull out all the stops in the final installment and I can't wait to see.Throughout the pages we fell further in love with some of the gang, wanted to inflict a painful death to others, and were introduced to some new faces, and I'm not even going to mention the whole lotta surprises that leapt from these pages. This is one wave you wanna ride all the way to shore. Some I anticipated, many I did not. Wowza, that battle. Hole-ey mole-ey.I need to take a moment to tell you a little about MY Jack Hartman. To all that is holy, that man is so hot, I'm surprised he's not burnt to a darn crisp. We saw a completely different side of him this time around and I love-loved-loved that. We got some Jack pov and boy, was I in my element! I need more of that goodness pronto! The almost romps and those kisses seared my eyes, phwoarrrrr, I can not wait for the explosion that will be Emmy and Jack in Surviving Fate.Van Fleet hit a home run for me in this follow up to my favorite YA fantasy read of 2013. I was invested, enthralled and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. There was laughter, tears, joy, lust and heartbreak. Seizing Fate ticks all the boxes for me. This is one series you wanna get onboard...
