You all know that I love a good Vamp (and now Shifters) story as much or more than the next girl but at times, it is refreshing to see things from a different vantage point.Fate Fixed (The Erris Coven Series)is just such a book.The Good:  When you find a book with characters you both love and love to hate, you know you are on to something special.  Lexie is smart, compassionate and funny.  Torin, well, he has that whole bad-boy image thing going for him. ;)  Oh and he is also genuine, intuitive, and tender at just the right times.  Sure, he's a little broken, but hey, aren't we all?  We won't get me started on Max and Dragos or we could be here all day.  And night.  The other thing I loved about this book was how the story was told from more than one individual's point of view.  I am not sure how Bonnie kept it all straight tense-wise but she did an awesome job (and I am a Grammar Nazi).  The thing I loved best of all in Fate Fixed was that what you may have expected to happen, doesn't always work out that way.  The last 3rd of the book was a total nail-biter.The Bad:  I have very little to say in this department.  There were some typos and I should take off for that but I loved the book so much I won't.  The book was a bit of a slow starter but that's to be expected when you are having to set the Paranormal stage, so to speak.  And really, once the action started, it. did. not. stop.  Seriously.The Snuggly:  Oh how I do love a good romance, especially the fated lovers variety.  They just seem so, mmmm, whole-hearted and all consuming and again, Fate Fixed does not disappoint.  Lexie and Torin have some earth-moving chemistry going for them.  What I appreciated about this book is that the feelings they have for each other seemed to develop organically.  It felt neither rushed nor forced and was everything it should be.  As this is a YA book, the intimate moments were appropriately handled, with very little detail and within the scope of the story.The Rest:  I am thrilled that I had the chance to read Fate Fixed.  The emotions that the story brought out in me were amazing and rare for a book.  I was able to immerse myself in Erris and all that was going on there and when the book came to an end, I felt I was leaving family and friends. (Thankfully I could immediately start reading Blood Twist!)  If you are a Paranormal lover, you must read this book.  While I would not recommend it for young teens due to some violence and bloodiness, everyone else should find it as enjoyable and refreshing as I did.  A major 5 Stars, 2 Flames.*Note: I received this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  All opinions are 100% my own.
