Fated is the third book in the Ghosted series. This would work fine as a standalone, especially given the timeline but I highly recommend every book in this series. 

Fated takes place before the first book in the series Ghosted. The main character is Fiona, if you have been here from the beginning you will remember Fiona as Daniel’s sister. Daniel is the love interest in Ghosted. 

Fiona has a near-death experience that leads to her mom giving her a family heirloom, a pocket watch, that is supposed to show you your dreams. Fiona goes to sleep holding the watch and she dreams that she is married with two kids living on a remote island. She quickly realizes in her dream, she is not herself, she is a totally different person. 

When she wakes up she returns to her normal life but when she goes back to sleep she is transported to her dream world. When she enters the dream time has always moved forward and her husband quickly notices she acts differently.

I could not figure out how this book would play out. It’s an emotional ride that has me crying for almost the entire last quarter of this book. This is one of the most imaginative and well-written stories I have ever experienced and this is now my favorite book of the year.

Final score: 4/5
