Meet Hedi Peacock. She's half Fae. Half Were. And all trouble…
I Have Two Words For Werewolves:
My name is Hedi Peacock and I have a secret. I’m not human, and I have the pointy Fae ears and Were inner-bitch to prove it. As fairy tales go, my childhood was damn near perfect, all fur and magic until a werewolf killed my father and the Fae executed my mother. I’ve never forgiven either side. Especially Robson Trowbridge. He was a part-time werewolf, a full-time bastard, and the first and only boy I ever loved. That is, until he became the prime suspect in my father’s death…
Bite Me.
Today I’m a half-breed barista working at a fancy coffee house, living with my loopy Aunt Lou and a temperamental amulet named Merry, and wondering where in the world I’m going in life. A pretty normal existence, considering. But when a pack of Weres decides to kidnap my aunt and force me to steal another amulet, the only one who can help me is the last person I ever thought I’d turn to: Robson Trowbridge. And he’s as annoyingly beautiful as I remember. That’s the trouble with fate: Sometimes it barks. Other times it bites. And the rest of the time it just breaks your heart. Again…
I have just finished The Trouble with Fate due out on 12/24/2012 by Leigh Evans. This book first grabbed my attention when I saw it recommended on Amazon and I knew I had to read and then I considered myself one lucky girl when I got an ARC from St. Martin's Press. This book has everything I look for: Romance, action, and elements of Paranormal. Now that I have read The Trouble Fate With Fate my honest opinion is that I am just giving this book three stars. I liked it but I wasn't in love with it. The book starts off with Heidi working as a Barista in a coffee shop when the man she has fancied herself in love with her whole life steps back into it. Then a strange Were comes to her apartment tells her they have kidnapped her Aunt and want something from Heidi to get her Aunt back. The action starts moving pretty quickly in the book but I just felt like there was something missing. It wasn't a bad book just not a great book. The romance between Trowbridge and Heidi felt a little forced at times and there were boring parts of this book that I had to force myself to pick it back up again. I liked the ending and will probably read the next book in the series just not right away. All in all to sum it up The Trouble With Fate is a decent read I didn't feel like I wasted my time but it didn't blow me away.
