Master of Fate by Linsey Hall my review
Review Courtesy of April Hollingworth
This is the sixth book in this outstandingly brilliant series Mythian Arcana series and I loved every word, line and chapter of it. This series is phenomenal, and so very, very addictive. In this book we find out about Aurora’s past and also about the mysterious Felix. Their story is both heart-breaking and wonderful all at the same time.
I think one of the main things I enjoy about this series is how with each character we meet, not only do you find out more about who they are now, but you also learn who they were, be it good, bad or just plain scary. It’s like meeting someone, and ripping them open and finding out everything, and once done, you close them back up, and breathe in the beauty of what they become.
I loved this book, and all the emotions that reading it brought on me. Another fabulous story and I cannot wait to read the next book and the one after that and so on in this wonderful series. I really don’t think I can ever get enough of the Mythian Arcana series and characters.

The Review:
Felix, a werewolf half-blood, has loved Aurora for centuries. Three hundred years ago he lost her. He endured immense torture and unbelievable pain while trying to protect her. He failed. Haunted by his torture, he’s unable to stand the touch of another. Broken by the memories, he’s lived alone wondering what happened to Aurora and if she’s even alive.
A year ago, Aurora escaped the prison she was locked in for the past three hundred years. Despised by almost everyone, she now must team up with Felix, her old love and a man she still wants. Together they must fight a greater evil than she could ever imagine.
Their love for one another has survived centuries, but will the broken pieces of themselves and the threat they must fight keep them apart forever. Can these two broken immortals save each other from the demons of their past, or are they destined to forever be apart?
Notable Scene:
He reached for a spoon and she caught sight of his arm up close. The flannel was rolled back from his forearm. Muscles moved under skin. But not just any skin. His arms were tattooed with a winding design. She squinted.
Thorns. They were vines with thorns, all drawn in exquisite detail. Beautiful but strange.
Mouse stood on the counter, staring up at his face as he poured coffee into a mug. The rich smell wrapped around Aurora.
“Coffee?” he asked without turning. His deep voice made her shiver. She shook her head. Get in the game, idiot.
Mouse turned to stare hard at her, then back at the man’s face. Aurora’s insides tightened.
She really was not handling this well.
“Sure,” she said, desperate for him to turn around so she could see what he looked like.
He filled another mug, then turned to her and held it out.
She felt as though something hit her hard in the chest.
Shite. It was Felix. Her Felix.
Suddenly she didn’t want coffee anymore. She didn’t know what she wanted. Words that normally came so quickly to her-flippant, easy words-died in her mouth.
His eyes were grim as they took her in. No wonder she hadn’t recognized him. Life had changed him. Not only was he far taller, his face was older. Harsher.
