Strong and unique story

I have finished reading my ARC copy of 'Hunted by Fate' written by Aurora Steinhart. This is a dark romantic fantasy and part one in "A gown of leather and bone" series.

"You're telling me. I'm stuck in a strange demon land with no escape."

This story has an unique background story and it reads comfortable even with the length of the story. It contains 76 chapters and is 664 pages long. It also ends in a massive cliffhanger that will torture me untill I can read the next book.

"To live without your mate is to die with them."

This story is mainly about Seraphina and Asher. Seraphina is a succubus and she is forced in a role she doesn't want to take. Asher is a human and a hunter. Asher needs to fill a role thats important for his people, but his people dont want any part of it. Will they be able to grow and do all that is necessary?

"You are not your people. Just as I am not my people. It's what we do with our time here, not who gave it to us."

This story is about going against all you stand for and open yourself up to other possibilities and ideas than the ones you got slamned in to you by your upbringing. It's about having the strength to learn and rise above, it's about knowing what you have to do, but being weight down by insecurities. It's about a fight between your heart and your head, it's about a fight between that was taught and the reality. It's about fate and fighting against that what was pre determined.

"Sometimes the Fates put us where we need to be, even when we don't want to be."

This story contains a lot of interesting themes that are woven in an amazing and dark fantasy story with great elements, spice, love and danger. Ive enjoyed reading this story very much and I definitely recommend it. I give it four stars.
