    About this audiobook

    Two lovers who have met across the centuries in different lives and different bodies find themselves meeting as two women unwilling to face the truth but even less willing to let each other go again in Rachel Bowdler's The Fate of Us.
    The rootless drummer in a struggling rock band, Drew has always felt adrift in life. So it comes as a shock when she meets a strange girl in a strange town and feels an immediate jolt of recognition. Drew knows her — but not from this life. And Amber — stubborn, solitary, and all too willing to shut everyone out after the loss of her mother — isn't the easiest person to convince of this.
    In their past lives, they've been doomed to meet only once a century, on the night before Halloween, before circumstances tear them apart. This time around, will they be able to break the cycle for good, or will their own fear and disbelief be the thing that keeps them apart?

      This is one of my favorites from this author. I love the reincarnation storyline. The narrator needs to work on her accents, but other than that did a decent job. It was good that Amber worked through all her anger issues, as she was not a nice person in the beginning.
    • 3/5
      Although i really enjoyed Rachel Bowdler's other stories such as Saving the Star, Partners in Crime, Safe and Sound, Holding Onto Bluebell Lodge, I still found this an enjoyable story but though the idea of past lives and having a sole mate is a really nice concept, the addition of the dreams so clearly fleshed out confuses the situation, at least it did for me. I guess the biggest issue i had with this story is that I like Drew but I didn't find Amber very likeable, she not a bad person but she's rude and quick to anger for no reason at all.

      Also worth noting, the narrator is pretty good but her accent is a bit off.
    • 3/5
      It was a little wandering and I wanted more from the characters but it was a decent nice short read.
    • 5/5
      This was a fantastic story. Fate, past lives and love that reaches across time is an idea that has long intrigued me. Add rich, compelling characters a bit of humor and a captivating performance by Emily Lawrence and it was everything for which I could have hoped. The only thing that disappoints me is that it's over.
    • 2/5
      I liked the story itself but the narrator was awful
    • 3/5
      Other than the terrible Yorkshire accent, quite an enjoyable listen!

      I wanted to like this, but the plot was all over the place without explanation. I couldn’t get past the 3rd chapter!
