Oh to be Pagan. Death loves you. This other guy loves you. Wait...it seems like everyone that runs into Pagan can't help but love her. I think this story alone has at least 3....maybe 4 that do. I think that's my biggest frustration. I just don't understand why everyone likes Pagan so darn much. She's bossy and loudmouth and has a temper. She begs everyone to buy her things, mainly food. She barely ever says thanks. and yet everyone wants her. She isn't described as being drop dead gorgeous....

So this story continues with Pagan prancing around with Dank (I still don't like his name). We learn the story of Leif and why book 1 ended with the ominous words. We also learn more about how things in Dank's world work. It's not pretty and there are things that run in both their lives that Pagan wasn't aware of. Things that are making themselves very known. It's a bit of a messy story but it gets better in the end, when it all comes together.

I'm intrigued enough to read book 3 but only because this book had a teaser that sounded interesting. ( )

Do I need to repeat myself? Oh. My. God. Need I say more? Okay just a bit more, Abbi Glines as done it again. Abbi has the ability to evoke many different emotions from just one book with her story telling. Speaking of emotions, the last sentence of every chapter ends eliciting many (emotions) from me. Somewhere along the line of reading I found myself at the end of a chapter, gasping, laughing, sighing, swooning, cursing, and saying things like "Are you freaking kidding me?", etc. Every chapter seems to ends with a surprise, which I loved, never read anything like that before, it was entertaining, and kept me absorbed. I had the same reactions-plus at the beginning, middle, over and under every chapter as well.

Dank still has me in a trance with his very maleness, very overprotective and bad ass. I have to say I also like Pagan a lot, I'm always afraid she's going to be the typical heroine and be slow to realize she has another option. She always quickly remembers Dank loves her and she can trust him. Good girl.

Can't wait to move on the next one and see how Abbi Glines will put me in a swoony emotional mess again. ( )

Predestined starts where Existence left off. Finally Pagan and Dank can be together, but they soon find out that darker forces have a stake on Pagan's soul. Pagan's world is turned upside down with all the secrets and sacrifices that have been made so that she could live a normal healthy life. Will Pagan make the ultimate sacrifice to save those she loves? Will Dank move heaven and earth to be with Pagan...?

The chemistry between Pagan and Dank gets more intense. These star-crossed lovers will defy all odds to be together, no matter what. Abbi Glines has created a world that draws you in from the very first page. You are captivated by the characters and the mythology surrounding Dank's existence. A truly swoon worthy tale that keeps you laughing, crying, sighing, cursing, and fighting right along side of Pagan and Dank! ( )
