I am grateful to NetGalley and St.Martin’s Press for the opportunity to review this advance reader’s copy.

A thousand lives lived, countless memories shared, and endless “I love you’s” whispered between two immortal souls tethered together through time. This is such a uniquely written story with many beautiful elements. The main characters are deeply complex and the different time eras and cultures are richly described throughout the book. I wanted to love this book more than I did… I was totally thrown off by the last 30% of the book where it takes on a bizarre twist that just didn’t feel like it belonged to the same storyline anymore and the ending fell a little flat from there.

Our Infinite Fates is a story about fate, loss, and everlasting love between two souls.

Evelyn has been constantly reincarnated into a new body for a thousand years. But every time, before she reaches their 18th birthday, she finds Arden. Arden is the love of every lifetime, and the pair are fated to kill one another in every one. While Arden knows the truth about their unique fate and why they are destined to be each others love and death, Evelyn can't seem to recall those details. But when circumstances in her present life require her to live just a little longer, will she and Arden finally get the chance to live?

I really enjoyed this book! This was such a unique story and a beautiful tale of love and longing. I can't really explain too much about the plot without giving much away. The majority of the story is from Evelyn's perspective, and we bounce between her present life, reincarnated as a young girl in Wales, and her past lives. I love the fluid gender and sexuality of the characters too - they find each other in every life, no matter the gender they were reincarnated as, so we see their relationship from many possible pairings. It is clear they have a deep love and connection, but their tragic circumstances make it hard for them to ever be fully together. The writing was easy to fall into, and I actually read this book in a single evening - I could not put it down! I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to more from this author.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the advanced copy of this ebook. All opinions are my own.

4.25 stars. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025 and I was so lucky to be able to review this before it came out thanks to netgalley! I haven’t read the invisible life of Addie larue or other works mentioned so I expected something a little different. I thought there was going to be a hardcore lovers-enemies-lovers trope in this like something you would see in a higher fantasy book. Mind you, I’ve only read the description of this book before reading this. I did thoroughly enjoy this book. It was nice to go through different timelines with them and I loved that they were different characters in each one. Although it was explained to us towards the end of how and why, I do feel like there were some very minor plot holes that can be overlooked. I also felt like the “reason” was not big enough for Arden to keep to himself for so many years. It was glimpsed over of when they first fell for each other but the love story we got to see in between was beautiful. I do wish we were able to experience how they fell in love though. Evelyn is the most selfless character I’ve read so far and Arden the most poetic. The ending definitely left me feeling longing for their relationship. They are the definition of soulmates.

Fantastic debut novel

“I love you, and I have loved you, and I will love you”

Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press | Wednesday Books for this ARC for review. I loved this book. It definitely has feels of The Invisible Life of Addie la Rue in it, but different. Evelyn and Arden are tied together throughout time. They love each other in every lifetime. But they also kill each other in every single lifetime. Evelyn can remember every lifetime and this time, she wants to live. She wants to save her sister. How can she stay away from Arden before he finds her this time around? This book jumps from the current timeline of 2022 where Evelyn is living and trying to save her sister and other lifetimes where she lived and met Arden and they fell in love and then died. This is a beautiful story of what a person would do for love, all different kinds of kinds of love.

where do i even start with how AMAZING this arc was. first, thank you to netgalley and laura steven!! the way i devoured this book. i absolutely love plots with reincarnation, and this scratched that itch just right. the reveal had me shook, the last chapter had me wanting to sob. i can’t wait for this to release so i can have this masterpiece on my shelf.

also i did rate this 4.5 stars, you just can’t do half stars on netgalley. and my review for goodreads and instagram will be posted on there soon, i just haven’t had the chance

** Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for and honest review **

3.75 stars & rounded up ⭐️ a mashup of timelines, characters, and settings strung together with an invisible thread that the reader and characters discover together - what a fun ride. I absolutely loved the character development, especially how the relationships evolved throughout time, location, and flashback. The dynamics between the characters were so engaging, and it kept me hooked throughout. However, the twist in the plot didn't quite land for me. While it was certainly unexpected, it felt a bit forced and took away from the emotional buildup. However, the concept was interesting and kept me turning the pages.

What a beautiful book! It's like a love letter to love but with fantasy, twists, and suspense. The storyline kept me in the edge of my seat.

Evelyn and Ardens story is and will be memorable. Literally the definition of soul mates. I did not see the twist at the end coming. I loce reading books that surprise me and keep me in awe.

If you loved the Addie Larue vibes then def pick this up because it won't disappoint!

Our Infinite Fates is basically Addie LaRue coded, but make it young adult meets Romeo and Juliet🌹☠️. It is very beautifully written and I found myself so interested in what was happening that I couldn't put the book down. ✨📖

I not only loved the lyrical writing 🖋️, but the poetry that was also added throughout the story🎵. I was invested in the mystery 🔍 of the reasoning behind the killings 🗡️in each life and found myself really wanting to know what was happening. The little snippets into each lifetime 🕰️ were intriguing and each different time period of life throughout history 📜🏺 was very neat to read about. I wish the lifetimes went a bit more in depth because each were similar in tone to one another, beyond the settings which were all unique and lovely. 💜

The world we find out about after the mystery behind the murders 💀 is revealed was also intriguing and I like the dark direction 😈 that idea went into . The one thing I really wished was different was that the relationship and character depth was explored more, because for a book so focused on the relationship, it tended to go much into the same specific details and didn't branch out into other areas of connection. 🎭

Overall, the book is 5 stars and I loved the story and writing style. 💕 I'd recommend it to anyone who likes poetic novels, time travel romances, and relationship focused fantasy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC. : )

“…within a moment of walking through the doors, he’d been overcome with a sense of rightness. The utterly illogical and entirely absurd suspicion that this was an important place to be, in that grand and nonsensical search of his.”

Unfortunately, this quote sums up a lot of the major issues I had with the story. I had really expected to love this (I even preordered a special edition of the beautiful UK cover) but, it wasn't for me.

With such a beautifully romantic cover (UK) and title, I had great expectations for this to be a tumultuous romance. While the reader is constantly told that there is some sort of romantic draw between the characters, the romance or romantic scenes are only about 2% of the book. For characters who are supposedly tethered through love, very little is actually shown. It was mostly a very somber, dark-themed story. One of the characters (who can’t remember why they’re continually killed before their 18th birthday) even comments on how the majority of her past lives are remembered because of being such traumatic, scarring experiences which we are subjected to through various flashbacks in time (life in an asylum, dying in war, etc).

Also, I’m not sure how else the writer would keep the two souls seperate, but it really threw me off that there was continual timeline and gender changing (and not in chronological order- time and location changes at random). Even as different people and genders in various lives, they would still refer to each other as Arden and Evelyn, which was jarring to read at times.

While there were some beautiful quotes about love, I would not consider this a love story. I think that’s where it didn’t hit the mark for me. ‘Our Infinite Fates’ is definitely more of an adventure fantasy, not a romantic fantasy. Overall, the mood was too dark for my taste, the characters unlikable, and too many juxtapositions in both plot and character actions.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for the opportunity to read an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you so much to the author and publisher for allowing me to read this ARC. I’ve had my copy preordered since August after seeing Laura Steven describe this as “exile”, my favorite song.

This book was an unexpected emotional journey. Throughout every life and time, I felt myself falling more in love with Evelyn and Arden. The overall plot was intriguing - who are these two people, and why do they continuously live, love, and die by each other’s hands? What fate brings them together only to tear them back apart? I loved the mystery and intrigue, but the twist left a little to be desired. I didn’t quite buy into the story there. However, the ending was everything I wanted it to be. Laura Steven’s writing is so poetic and heartfelt, and made me emotional.

I Couldn't put it down! I would of read it fast if I didn't need to work and sleep. If you liked the Fallen series and The invisible life of Addie Larue you'll love this book.
I loved reading them falling in love through the years and the reason why they had to kill each other was so surprising and the ending of how it started wow. The ending was so bittersweet to me. I really enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed! Beautifully written. Unique plot. Potentially a little repetitive at points but it did not stop me from being engaged enough the entire time to finish. Better version of The Invisible Life of Adie Larue. Recomend!

‘Our Infinite Fates’ by Lauren Stevens is a gripping and emotional fantasy that follows Evelyn, a young woman who has lived through countless lifetimes, only to be murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being tied to her soul. The twist? She remembers every past life, and in each one, she dies at his hands. In her current life, Evelyn is determined to protect her younger sister and break the curse that has haunted her for centuries. To do so, she must find the mysterious force that hunts her, all while trying not to fall in love with Arden again.

Stevens weaves a story filled with high stakes, supernatural intrigue, and a complex romance that defies both time and fate. The tension between Evelyn and Arden is palpable, and their relationship evolves throughout the novel in ways that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It’s swoonworthy, angsty, and will keep you nothing but obsessed. The world-building is so richly detailed that i absolutely fell in love.

This novel is perfect for readers who enjoy stories of reincarnation, soulmates, and absolute pure angst. It’s a powerful exploration of love, sacrifice, and identity that will leave readers reflecting on the nature of fate- even being their own.

And if you like Divine Rivals and The invisible life of Addie Larue then a definitely add this to your TBR!

First off thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the ARC. Our Infinite Fates presents a fascinating premise of doomed lovers and reincarnation. While the writing is beautiful and the timeline shifts are well executed, I struggled to stay engaged for much of the story, only finding myself truly invested in the later chapters. The romance and emotional depth felt underdeveloped at times, making it difficult to fully invest in the characters but overall I can see this resonating with readers who enjoy slow-burning fantasy romances.

Thank you for this arc!!

The premise of reincarnated soulmates facing the same tragic fate in every life is intriguing at first, but the execution doesn’t fully capture the emotional depth that the story seems to aim for. The back-and-forth between past and present lives sometimes feels repetitive, and the plot doesn't offer many surprises, making it hard to stay fully engaged.
While the characters have potential, they don’t feel as fully developed as they could be, and their connection doesn't quite come across as deeply as expected.

I just finished Our Infinite Fates, and wow, I’m obsessed. This YA romance is easily one of the best books I’ve read this year. The whole concept—two souls drawn to each other over centuries but doomed to repeat the same deadly cycle—is wild, but it works.

The writing is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved how naturally inclusive it felt, especially with the queer representation. Evelyn and Arden’s love story is so beautifully layered, and the slow burn had me hooked from start to finish. Just when I thought I knew where things were going, the story threw in twists that completely took me by surprise—in the best way.

Also, I have to mention how much I loved the little details woven throughout, especially in the ending—it was just so satisfying. If you’re into epic love stories with a touch of mystery and fantasy, this one is a must-read

4.5 stars ⭐️
“I love you, and I have loved you, and I will love you.”
A unique story with “Addie Larue” vibes that asks the question how can the one fated to kill you be the ones that makes you feel so alive? Beautiful writing. Perfectly executed switches in timeline throughout. Ah was such an enjoyable one!!

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for a copy of this book!

In “Our Infitie Fates” loving someone forever feels more like a threat—an endless, painful cycle of loss and sacrifice and the lengths people will go to protect what they love most.

The novel follows Evelyn and Arden as they are doomed to fall in love and die by each other’s hands, over and over again—always before their 18th birthday. While Arden remembers their tragic history and the rules of their deadly game, Evelyn remains in the dark, confused and desperate for answers. With her sister’s life on the line, Evelyn has more to fight for than ever before.

The premise of doomed lovers is a compelling one, full of potential for emotional depth and rich character exploration and the pain that comes from being so close to getting what you want while knowing it’s destined to end. The moments when Evelyn and Arden meet in various historical periods—some tender, others heartbreakingly brief—were some of the book’s strongest. These glimpses of their fleeting connections were powerful, and I found myself wishing for more of these moments to fully flesh out the plot and their relationship. Unfortunately, the lack of deeper exploration left the emotional stakes half full, preventing the story from having the lasting impact it could have.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the novel is the reincarnation element. The way the deal allows Evelyn and Arden to find each other, regardless of the bodies they inhabit, is so beautiful. The idea that love transcends the physical self, coming from the heart or soul, is a powerful message and one necessary in today’s world. However, I felt that the exploration of this theme was somewhat limited, leaving a sense of longing for what could have been if we just developed it a bit more.

The dynamic between Arden, who remembers their cursed fate, and Evelyn, who forgets with each new life, is filled with emotional complexity. I found their relationship fascinating, but I wished we had spent more time delving into Arden’s struggle with the responsibility of knowing their tragic path and the temptation of giving in to the darker components of the deal in times where they were happy in order to hold on to what you have rather than start anew. The ultimate reveal felt rushed, coming at the end with little buildup, and left me wanting more. There was a lot of untold story there, and the quick resolution didn’t allow for the kind of emotional depth that this twist deserved.

While I didn’t love the book as much as I had hoped, I still think it is a worthwhile read. The themes of eternal love, fate, and reincarnation are beautiful in their own right, and I believe many readers will connection with this story in ways that are very much needed.

**special thanks to the publishers and netgalley for providing an arc in exchange for a fair and honest review**

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this gifted book.

I am obsessed with Evelyn and Arden’s multiple lives. It was a bunch of tragic love stories all put into their one big love story. The change in timelines and the various characters they adopted were amazing. Our Infinite Fates is incredibly unique and creative. Didn’t see that twist coming either. Wonderful fantasy.

I’ve been dying to get my hands on Our Infinite Fates—it’s easily one of my most anticipated books this year, and it absolutely delivered. Laura Steven takes the reincarnation trope and twists it into something dark, romantic, and completely addictive.

Evelyn is such a compelling protagonist. The weight of remembering every past life, knowing she’s doomed to die before eighteen, makes her desperation to break the cycle feel urgent and real. And then there’s Arden—her murderer, her soulmate, her curse. The way their relationship balances between love and destruction is so well done, constantly teetering on the edge of something dangerous.

What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. Each past life feels distinct, and Steven’s writing pulls you into every setting, from ancient ruins to modern city streets. It’s lush without being overindulgent, and the transitions between timelines are seamless.

If I had one minor complaint, it’s that I wanted even more of the mythology behind their curse. The book gives enough to keep the mystery compelling, but I wouldn’t have minded a deeper dive.

Overall, this was everything I hoped for—romantic, tragic, and beautifully written. If you love stories about fate, obsession, and love that refuses to die, Our Infinite Fates needs to be on your list.
