Stealing Fate (very
appropriately titled) is the second book in the Unspun series. This series
follows the three Fates to their happily ever after and is written by three
different authors. I found that Stealing
Fate works perfect as a stand-alone. One does not need to read the first
book to jump right in this series.
Lachesis, the Great Measurer who weaves the length of life
is now known as Lacey. She knows first-hand that her role as a Fate is not
difficult. She has had to shorten a life, the life of her one true love. In a
desperate act to save her father she had to kill Phobos. Phobos has still
harbors what he thinks is anger towards Lacey. He has searched for her,
determined to have his vengeance, regain his powers and be returned to his
station in godhood. Without his full powers being the God of Terror on the
human plane is not as amusing as he had hoped.
Lacey and Phobos were fun to read. They are the classic I
love you but I thought I hated you couple, at least on Phobos’s part. He soon
finds out the hard way that there is someone that wants Lacey’s death even more
than he does. It takes this heinous evil doer to open his eyes.
This installment in the series definitely has more
mythology. Both the hero and heroine are immortals. Bored Olympians are also
more meddlesome and add to the drama that Phobos and Lacey have to go through
to find their common ground so that they can get past the betrayal from their
past. I have certainly enjoyed reading the Fates having to go through the
trails that they weave as Fates.
