Waiting On Wednesday #9: Fated (The Soul Seekers #1) by Alyson Noel



"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by  

This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and make our shelves look all pretty :) 



Fated by Alyson Noel
The Soul Seekers #1 
Release Date: May 22nd, 2012 

The first book in a magnificent new series about a girl who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead by #1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël.

"Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met.


There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out to steal her powers. Now Daire must embrace her fate as a Soul Seeker and find out if Dace is one guy she’s meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she’s destined to destroy."

I'm a big Alyson Noel fan! 

The Immortals was a fabulous story to follow, yes, it did lull a bit in the middle (3rd book), but I like Ever and Damen's story... I still have to catch up on the Riley Bloom series, which I am enjoying even more.
What I really like about Noel's books is how she is able to overlap them and gives the characters to these three series 'guest appearances' here and there! Making them and their stories unforgettable!

I am truly looking forward to starting a new Alyson Noel series this year!!!

How about you?
What are you waiting on this week???

  9. I'm curious about this one as I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it or not - I loved some of Alyson's books and hated others. I think I'll have to wait until the reviews come in!

  13. Unfortunately I was really disappointed by her Evermore book and I'm still recovering from that, not sure if I want to read anything by Noel at this point even if all the books sound very intriguing to me. :(

  18. I actually have this one but didn't read it because I stupidly thought it was the third or fourth book in that series. So glad I saw this on your post. Now I can definitely move it on up the TBR pile. Great pick this week!
