the cover: simple and dark. i love reading a book and having an "a-ha" moment of the cover
the FMC: Derica- dealing with the death of her mother and looking for a change of scenery, Derica decides to travel with her BFF Reid to a new town and find a life of their own. while she is dealing with the trauma of being an orphan is part of her journey she doesn't let this be her main personality trait. she is witty, strong, smart, and loyal. i loved following her as a MC and am so excited to see the rest of her growth in the coming books!!!!
the MMC: Justus- i mean 😍. a hot and broody mercenary who travels with a wild cast of characters and the Fates keep putting Derica in his path. will he be able to resist her? how will their story unfold?
POV: 3rd person multi-perspective (but mostly 3rd person single perspective)
HEA: overall yes but with a cliffhanger ending! 😮
spice: there are several open-door spicy scenes that were well done 🌶️🌶️ (hi vocal MMC with praise 👋)
TWs: violence, murder, off page torture, death of parent off page, suicidal thoughts, depression
standalone?: this is book 1 in the Thread of Fate series
final thoughts: wow i know this book is just about to be released but R.M. Derrick i'm going to need the next book right away- okay??
read this book if you love

🌎 wonderful but not hard to follow world building

💪 strong (but not perfect) FMC and MMC
🌈 LGBT rep!
