Series:  The Mystic Wolves, #3Category /Genre:  Paranormal Romance, FantasyReceived from:  Belinda Boring (in exchange for an honest review)Tour by:  Read Between the LinesRecommended for:  16+ (sex is alluded, but not graphic)Grammar/editing:  B – a few small errorsBook 3 in The Mystic Wolves series; these must be read in order.TESTING FATE picks up exactly where FORGET ME NOT leaves off.I am late posting this, because I just could not force myself to read it too quickly.  I wanted to savor every word, live every moment with these characters.From the very first paragraph of this story, the action was pushing me along.  I was holding my breath with Darcy at the disorientation of being removed from the courtroom and landing in the home of the Fates.  Even though Klothos admits that she guided their dreams and that neither Darcy nor Mason asked for her intervention, the other two Fates demand that Darcy and Mason be tested to prove that their love was destined.  They are sentenced to Heart or Death, a series of trials to determine their resolve and their character.  The Fates seem capricious, and honestly, life is unpredictable at times so that should be no surprise.  First there is the insistence that Darcy and Mason prove themselves, when they didn't instigate this situation.  Then they are told they must complete the trials with no memory of each other – therefore, not knowing why they are going through these tests, just that they must.  The final blow is when they are stripped of their wolves and must face it all as humans.  I won't go any further, because I don't want to spoil anything for you, but I will say it is all worth it.Then there is the ending.  That is a real WTF moment!  Ms. Boring has been called the queen of cliffhangers.  She is, and we are all her willing masochists.  I know I am willing because her stories must be read.  I need to know what happens next.  Thank God I have the next book and the Christmas novella already in my little hands.  Expect those reviews to be posted soon.
