Fated is the third book in the Servants of Fate series by Sarah Fine and if you haven’t read anything by Fine yet, I recommend you fix that soon. You could even start with this series as I thought she did a fantastic job with all three books by combining the urban fantasy pieces with the paranormal and of course…the romance. Book three focuses on Aislin and Moros and not only their relationships with those around them but also how these two people from different sides of fate, find themselves drawn to each other.
Aislin is now Charon of the Ferry family and she has a very tentative hold on the reigns of the family business. Not because she doesn’t know what she doing – she absolutely does – but because there are some on the board that want to lead themselves so they are doing whatever they can to undermine her control. As the story progresses, we find out what is really going on and it ties back to Moros.
Moros has an interesting relationship with his siblings. None of them seem to trust each other and there are a few of them that are doing everything they can to get rid of Moros and release Chaos. As Moros and Aislin determine they will work together to face the Keepers of the Afterlife, they also realize that the only way they can save each other and their empires is to truly trust one another. To do that, Aislin let’s Moros touch her so that he can truly see she won’t betray him. Instead, what he sees is even more disturbing. Sorry…that’s all I’m going to say about that.
Fine did a fantastic job of building out the worlds these characters navigated through. They aren’t only in the Veil and on earth this time. They are in different worlds working to find the things they need to save themselves and what’s important to them and Fine did such a great job of taking me along with Aislin and Moros.
Fine also did a great job of setting up the relationship for these two characters. It was an important part of the story because it also tied back to them trusting in each other but it didn’t take over the overall story. As the story moves forward, not only do we get to see the relationship develop between these two, but we see them work together and ultimately lean on each other to save the world from Chaos. I loved seeing Aislin’s family begin to accept Moros and who he is instead of holding his responsibility against him.
In the end, this was a great addition to the series. I know this review seems pretty sparse but there isn’t much I can say without giving any pieces of the story away. Just know that if you have read the first two books, you should really enjoy this one as well. Fine knows how to develop a great story and adds to it with well-developed characters. The fact that she can write romance really well too is a plus. This is another great addition to the Sarah Fine collection of books and if you like paranormal and urban fantasy, definitely check this series out.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
One of the best new adult books of 2015! I wondered for a while how Sarah would pull the whole 'don't touch Moros' plot but she made it in a way which was full of action, romance, betrayal and a battle among gods.
With Rylan free and the fates dying, Moros and Aislyn must cooperate before an ancient enemy arises and destoys everything. The Ferrys are in danger and despite all that Moros and Aislyn are drawn to each other.
I liked the descriptions of the mythical setting in this book. It managed to combine Greek mythology, Theogony and the story of Death in one book which kept me turning the page for more! I couldn't accept anything more than this ending and I am glad for reading it!
A top recommendation, you really don't want to miss it!

Loved it.
Great conclusion to this series. I could never guess what was happening next and that made this a great read.

3.5 Stars. I read the first two in this series a bit ago, and had to wait for this final installment to come out. When I understood this would feature a romance between Aislin and Moros, wasn't sure it would work (neither character has been particularly likable in the series thus far, and neither one prone to romance)... but it did.
Like the others, this is an adult read (sex/language, and the characters are older ... MUCH older in Moros's case :) A good conclusion to the series. Glad I discovered it.

I read this series years ago and liked it. Seeing that the audio was included as part of KindleUnlimited, I thought I'd give it another go, experiencing the books in audio format this time. This was originally the lowest rated of the three books, and that was the case even more so this go-round. While I still got into the story for books 1 and 2 ... here I just couldn't really keep my focus or interest. I almost gave up on it (but then I finished an audiobook and didn't have another ready to go, but still had this partial listen on hand). I guess I just didn't connect with these characters as much as the couples in the first two books. Even with a re-read, I'd be hard pressed to really remember what happened in this storyline.

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Fated is the last book in the Servants of Fate series by Sarah Fine and follows the story of Aislin Ferry and Jason Moros. The entire series has been building to this book! It’s action-packed, full of suspense and just enough romance to be considered New Adult.
Up to this point, Aislin Ferry had been my least liked character. She was snooty, emotionless, and dang right mean at times. But in this book, she is portrayed in a different light and she won me over instantly! She is still kinda snooty and uptight, but that’s an integral part of her character. She’s also fiercely devoted to her family, her role as Charon, and her duty as a servant of fate. She’s resigned to the fact that there is no one she can share her life with, no one that is except Death himself.
Jason Moros has been one of my favorite characters and he remains my favorite after having read this book. In the last two, the Lord of the Kere has played a pivotal role as first an antagonist and then as a partner. Now he gets his own story, complete with tragic past and pining love. He’s still dark and brooding, but he also loves with his whole self. This series has really been building up to him and the betrayals that occur within this book.
The plot focuses on two main things: first the attraction between Aislin and Moros and second the overarching plot of the series the unraveling of fate. The romance is this book is lighter than in the previous two in the series, but also steamier (so 18+ only!). The real draw for me in the book is the mythology. Fine has built a fantastic dystopian world full of Greek/Roman mythology with the sisters of Fate, keepers of Heaven and Hell, the Ferrys, Death, and Chaos. It’s full of suspense, surprising twists and betrayal. My head is still spinning!
Overall I really enjoyed this book. It was a fantastic conclusion to the series, answering a majority of my questions and still making me want more. I’ll miss these characters and the world they live in. I do believe I’ll be rereading it soon.
