Blog Tour ‘Fate Reborn’ by Christina Ow

Ashat is a werewolf who’s lived three centuries in sorrow
and torment after his family was killed by an enemy-Baku. The only way he is
able to bear his long life is drinking himself into a drunken stupor, women and
hunting down Baku. His world suddenly changes when he meets Merilee and he is
finally able to love and be happy again.

Merilee lost her family in a fire when she was five.
However she isn’t too sure about that, her nightmares show her something very
different to what her shrink has been telling her for thirteen years. She was
raised by her two adoptive sisters Ann and Maria in an orphanage. She has a
fear of letting people in and losing them. This fear makes her put up with an
obnoxious boyfriend Steve until she’s finally gets the courage to get rid of
him.

She finally meets a man who she instantly has a crush on and ultimately falls
in love with after their first night together.

But Merilee and Ashat have met before in the worst of
situations. 

When I read the prescription of ‘Fate Reborn’ I was
immediately interested in reading this book. I participated in a tour of
Christina Ow a couple of months ago so I was very interested in reading a book
by this author. The thing that also really grabbed my attention was the cover
of this book. I really love it. It’s a really beautiful looking cover and it
definitely grabs your attention.

In ‘Fate Reborn’ we meet Ashat a werewolf who has lived for many years with the
guilt of losing his family. The only thing that keeps Ashat from losing his
mind, is drinking a lot of alcohol and spending his nights with meaningless
sex. That is until he meets Merilee.

Merilee also had a rough life. Her family was killed when
she was just a little girl and she spent her childhood moving from house to
house. Now Merilee lives with her two best friends and tries to get her life
back on track by finishing high school. When Ashat and Merilie meet one night,
they both don’t know their lives are about to change forever. Soon Ashat and
Merilee can’t stay away from each other, but life has a surprise for them.

In the beginning I didn’t really know what to think of this book. There is a
very long introduction about how Ashat became the man he is today. Although I
think, the introduction made me love Ashat more, I found it a little too long
in the beginning. I found myself wondering if I had the wrong book because the
story didn’t seem to go about the same characters I read in the prescription
about. (Thankfully I just found out they made a novella of the introduction
called ‘The Beginning’, very good idea if you ask me.)

When I was a little further into the book I felt
myself enjoying the story more and more. The connection between Ashat and
Merilee was very addicting and I loved how their relationship grew. Ashat
definitely has the sexy bad guy thing about him, and I really liked his
characters.

The thing that was a little frustrating was the ending of the book. I really
didn’t expect the book to end the way it did and I almost felt frustrated about
it. I wanted to read more about Ashat and Merilee and now there was this big
cliffhanger. And I find cliffhangers really damn frustrating!! But the author
made sure this way, that I would want to read the next book in this series.

I really enjoyed this book. Although the beginning didn’t really work for me I
loved the rest of the book and I definitely didn’t want this book to end. The
characters are very easy to connect with and their story is very original.
Great job, Christina Ow!!
