Forged by Fate is the first book of the Bound by Hades Series.  I really liked it and gave it four stars.  I kept on wanting to come back to this story and finish it, but I had a hard time staying on track.  At first I felt like I had to make myself read until I finally hit a certain point that had me hooked.  Once I got into it, I had to know what was going to happen.  Theo is the gatekeeper to Hades.  He has waited almost a millennium to meet his mate.  Can you imagine saving yourself for that long waiting for THE ONE?  Once Theo’s Ahavah mark has appeared, he knows it is time to find his mate and unite as one.  Finding her is easy; trying to get her to “come home” is another story.Sadie is a college student beyond smart for her age.  She is graduating from college at the age of 18.  Sadie’s mark appears and suddenly her whole world changes.  Sadie is also a black belt and has abnormal strength for a human.  It isn’t until she talks with Theo about mates and her supernatural background that she realizes how her place in life and what her purpose of what she has accomplished and achieved will come into factor.I wish us as mortals experienced the attraction & sensation of knowing who your mate is and the connection that Theo & Sadie share.  It is a wonderful bond that can never be broken.  Without each other, they become weak, but is their connection what can save them and the fate of the gatekeepers?  This was a sweet and clean story without too much relationship drama.  I really liked Theo but he was a little too nice for me.  He didn’t have enough bad boy appeal.  I’m hoping Justin is going to do my heart Justin in the next book.  Check out this awesome read and get prepared for Justin’s story in Marked by Hades.
