DESTINY SUCKS...
There was a time when Persephone Alcmedi thought her life was hard to manage, what with wondering how to make sure she took adequate care of both her grandmother and foster daughter, Beverley, whether she'd end up in the unwanted position of high priestess of a coven, whether her werewolf lover, Johnny, would resist the groupies who hang around his band Lycanthropia.
But that was before the fairies started demanding that Seph's frightening, unpredictable ally--the ancient vampire Menessos--be destroyed...or the world will suffer. Seph and Menessos are magically bonded, but that's a secret she dares not reveal to her fellow witches lest they be forced to reject her and forbid her the use of her magic. And, despite the strain this casts on her relationship with Johnny, as a showdown with the fairies nears, she and Menessos badly need the werewolves as allies.
Life, death, and love are all on the line, but when destiny is calling, is doesn't help to turn away. With the individual threads of their fates twisted inextricably together, can Seph, Johnny, and Menessos keep the world safe from fairy vengeance?
**MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM FIRST TWO BOOKS**
This is just an awesome series!! I am so glad that I started it! Picking up where Hallowed Circle left off practically, Fatal Circle finds Seph back in the thick of things. She and Johnny have barely gotten a minute alone together when Menessos shows up, ruining the moment.
The sparks that keep flying between Menessos and Seph are confusing at times. I mean, here we see Seph with a great guy like Johnny and because of everything that has happened, she is still somewhat drawn to Menessos and it's hard for her to overcome her feelings for him. She's not sure how she feels towards him. She knows there is something other than fear and hate, that much is for sure.
Moving away from the relationship p.o.v., Seph is really thick into trouble with just about everyone! The respective groups are learning about her status as Lustrata and there are mixed reactions. Some so serious that Seph has to take serious action in an act of perceived betrayal. She agrees to be apart of his vampire group as an important role figure.
But there is much more going on than I can say of course. BIG things happen. I can't really say what...but there are quite a few big things that go down. Ones that involve everyone practically. Seph, Johnny and even Menessos.
There are surprising revelations as well. Ones that may be somewhat shocking. I don't want to say shocking and they be more of an "ooohhh" kind of thing instead of "whoa!".
The ending was great too! The buildup to the conclusion was fantastic. There were times I was really worrying and other times when I was excited. A lot of action in the end with some more interesting surprises as well. There are few cliffhangers as well that makes you wonder what will happen here and there. Just a few unanswered questions that we will have to wait til the end of December for Arcane Circle to find out!
Another GREAT read! Overall I give the book 4/5 stars!
On a side note, I just LOVE the quote that's in front of the novel as well! It really speaks to me for some reason!
Still no luck in finding Blameless and it is too early for Alpha. So I will have to turn to my TBR stack for a new read one that I did NOT list in my September Spectacular Reading Challenge.

We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.
But within this realm of choicelessness,
we do choose how we live.
