“‘...Missed opportunities are the biggest regrets we carry in this world.’”*

Like her sisters, Daisy inherited the ability to use tarot cards to change fates, but the gift comes with a cost to her health. Dying slowly sucks, but after banishing a spirit, Daisy’s death becomes fast-tracked. Now, Daisy’s fate is tethered to a boy cursed to die on his eighteenth birthday. If Daisy doesn’t find him and change his fate, they’ll both be toast. Her online friend, Andrei, and her sister, Iris, are on board to help her trek through Europe in search of the cursed kid. Unfortunately, an evil underground society, who are intent on ridding the world of fate changes, are hot on their trail.

I absolutely loved the realistic awkwardness between Daisy and Andrei when they meet in person after two years of communicating online and through social media. We spend so much of our lives with people we interact with via electronic media and, especially for introverts, converting an online friendship to real life can be challenging. At one point, Daisy wonders out loud if it might be easier to switch from verbal communication to texting. Drake simply nailed it.

SEEKING FATE is the third and final installment in the Fated series. Drake provides all the information needed to enjoy Daisy’s story for newbies to the series. I enjoyed the characters and world of SEEKING FATE so much, I look forward to diving into TOUCHING FATE and CURSING FATE along with Drake’s other stories in the Entangled Crave line. Drake provides the perfect blend of paranormal elements and young adult romance.

This was a very quick read being less than 200 pages. This was truly an interesting book because it is about three sisters that have a gift or curse where they can change peoples fate. All they have to do is a tarot card reading.
This was a fast paced book I was sad when I finished it so quickly. I think it was because of the chemistry between Daisy and Andrei I wanted to know what was going to happen between them. Their first meeting was a little awkward because it was there first time meeting since talking online. I loved that their journey took them around Europe because iv always wanted to go, so being able to read about it was just as good.
After reading this book I found out that it was the third in the series. So now I’m going to have to go an read the other 2. With that being said I feel like this book can be read as a stand alone.

Seeking fate is an interesting spin on online relationships. Daisy has never met Andrei, she knows his fate. Daisy has until his eighteenth birthday to change his bad luck. He is the firstborn son and cursed. They have been talking for two years and have become good friends. Daisy has only seen pictures of Andrei in his younger days when they meet he isn't quite what she expects.

The fated series is about a family who finds their perfect match. The family are magically gifted (Gypsy) and Daisy's talent is fate changing. The family are traditional and even though it isn't the usual thing for a lady to travel across Europe to meet a young boy Daisy has no choice. She wants to save her friend and end the curse.

When they meet they are both nervous and it takes them a while to see what's already there. Unfortunately, not everyone likes fate changes and Daisy has more than one problem to deal with.

I enjoyed this book it had some interesting themes and the romance was sweet. I've read 2 of the 3 books in this series. They are unique and creative.

4 stars out of 5. *I received an advanced readers copy to review with my honest opinion. This book is part of a series and it would be beneficial to read the other books but not essential.

Seeking Fate is the story of Daisy Layne, a fate changer, and her journey to end a curse on the Van Buren family. This book was magical and enjoyable. I really liked this book, and I'm looking forward to reading the first two in the series, since I read the third and really liked it.

I received a copy of SEEKING FATE on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

Five stars and here’s why:

I couldn’t put it down. I love the premise. Three sisters who have a gift and/or curse of being able to change people’s fates. They’re called Fate Changers, and they have the power to change someone’s fate through tarot card readings. But there’s a faction of society that doesn’t find this ability appealing and hunt them down to eliminate them as they see this gift as a threat.

What I truly loved about this book is that Ms. Drake invites the reader on a cat and mouse chase through Europe. Daisy and her friend’s nephew, Andrei, must find the last Van Buren heir because her fate is tied to this heir’s due to an unfortunate incident of a curse being transferred to her in the previous book. This is the third book in the series, and while I haven’t read the first two books, the author sprinkled just the right amount of backstory to clue the reader into the past so she could focus on Daisy’s story. I’m definitely buying the first two books in the series so I can read about Daisy’s other two sisters and how their fates fared.

While SEEKING FATE is somewhat predictable, it is fast-paced and the chemistry between the Daisy and Andrei kept me turning the pages! Total book hangover.

If you love good writing about a sassy, smart girl and a hella-hot guy traveling through Europe, then this book is for you. Highly recommend.

I want to once again thank Netgalley and the Entangled Publishing company for giving me this opportunity to read Seeking Fate. I also want to note these opinion are my own.

Daisy Layne, a girl who can change someone’s fate with a single touch. Daisy is gifted with the unusual gift, but her life is threatened when the last Van Buren heir is cursed. The first born son of the Van Buren family will die upon his eighteenth birthday. A twist comes when Daisy’s fate is tied to his.

Andrei, a handsome guy who Daisy has known for two years. He has offered Daisy to help find the heir and save her life. But what Andrei doesn’t know is his past is a bit darker than expected.

Time is running out and Daisy is being hunted.

Well just a confession, I haven’t read the other Fated series books. However, Drake does a wonderful job of providing enough information about the previous books. I quickly caught on to the past plots and grew to know the characters with each passing page.

I will be honest this book wasn’t exactly my favorite. At times I got bored and didn’t want to continue, because it was very predictable and detailed in areas I don’t care for. The plot of the story was almost laid out from the beginning. You can pick up a few hints here and there, and boom. The plot is revealed. Also, the plot was detailed about their search. I would have liked more action involving the searching and the book overall.

What I do love is the relationship between Daisy and Andrei. Daisy and Andrei have built their relationship from friendship and it has grown. Those are some of my favorite relationships, because they are based on trust and friendship. Friendship is so important in relationships.

I’m not sure if this is the final installment, but it was alright. Maybe a bit more of a bang is needed.

Cheers lovelies.

"Seeking Fate" finishes out the Fated series, which follows the sisters who have the gift/curse of being Fate Changers. This means they can change someone's fate through tarot card reading. Daisy is on a quest to find the last van Buren heir- the firstborns of the family are cursed to die when they turn 18. There is only one left, and if Daisy can find him and change his fate, the curse will be broken forever. She is aided in her search by Miri's nephew with whom she has been communicating through social media for 2 years (but only seen old photos).

When she arrives in Europe, she is surprised to find Andrei- a very attractive 17-year-old who looks nothing like the awkward old photos she had seen. Thrown off her game, she and Andrei reconnect slowly in person, building on their previous online relationship/friendship. Meanwhile, they are traveling in search of the last van Buren firstborn- they have a few leads who might be it but she'll have to read their cards to be sure. To add to it all, Daisy's life is entangled with the firstborn, and if he dies, so will she.

Their way is complicated by The Thorns, a fanatical religious group with a sect that seeks to kill Fate Changers- and they are aware of Daisy and her path through Europe, showing up at every turn. On top of complicated travel plans and finding potential cursed heirs, Daisy and Andrei are fighting to stay safe. Daisy isn't making it easy, because she can't help changing the fate of people who come across her path, even if it eats her up inside (literally). Daisy and Andrei are racing the clock to solve the problem and save her and the firstborn's life.

Overall, it was a fast-paced and fun (although really predictable) story- I liked Andrei and Daisy quite a bit as people, and it was nice that they had a friendship backstory to build the romance upon (not a instalove scenario here). We read from both Andrei and Daisy's points-of-view which was also nice and built their relationship more quickly. The intrigue and thriller aspects of their travel also added an extra element to the book that gave it something extra. It's a solid addition to the series and finishes out the story nicely. However, I definitely wouldn't mind reading more about fate changers- it's an interesting idea- and the romance is a nice touch in this series!
