Occasionally you will read a book that unexpectedly rips your heart in two but you have been so enraptured in the story that it takes your breath away. This happened for the second time this year when I read Fate by new to me author Kate Bonham.
Fate is a fantasy romance filled with fallen angels, destiny, steamy romance and a twisting plot that will keep you guessing until the end. Ace, the son of Lucifer and head of the Reapers, is perfectly matched with Faye, a human with a muddied past, and I loved their interactions. The author uses skillful language to create beautiful characters and an amazing world in which they inhabited. The story spans Sydney city where they first meet and travels to Purgatory, Heven and Hell as Ace and Faye fight an epic battle to save everything they care about. There are a number of brilliantly written secondary characters in this book, good, bad and grey, that work together to make this story so memorable. I will give warning that this book does end on a cliffhanger and the next book is not released yet so expect your heart to be crushed with no reprieve.
Fate broke my heart. While I understand why Kate Bonham made the choices she did but I still cried, a lot, and will eagerly await the next book to find out what will happen. This book was outstanding and I recommend any fantasy or paranormal reader add this to their tbr.

Have you ever read A Touch of Crimson by Sylvia Day? Did you love this book? If so, you will also love Fate by Kate Bonham!
Its a modern day look at the battle between the blurred lines of good and evil, Archs and the fallen...Lucifer and Satunas (love that name!) As two different people....and plop right smack in the middle of it all...yup a sassy smart mouth, quick witted heroine!! You heard it right...she is awesome!
The story takes you on a journey of love and war, angel wings and heart strings, and the archangel himself...Gabriel.
You imagine Constantine battling demons and Gabriel, well being his normal self! Its keeps you interested in the plot through your reading journey, right to the very end!
Be aware all, it is the first book in the Fallen From Grace series...and I s&*t you not, you will hound Kate Bonham to HURRY UP AND FINISH THE SECOND BOOK!!!!!
Over all....I found it absolutely brilliant....not bad for someone who doesn't read alot of the paranormal genre!!!

Wow what a blast, this book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. If you love a fight between Heaven and Hell Good and Evil or somewhere in between this book is for you. Im so in love with Lucifer i know its so wrong as the main character is Ace but i so loved his character. This story has so many OMG moments and surprises and a major cliffhanger at the end so its very fast paced. A fantastic first book from Kate Bonham. I cant wait now for book two in the series.

The Story of Ace and Faye will make you laugh, make you cry, make you excited and make you wish for it to never end.
I highly recommend this Author her story writing skills will leave you breathless and wanting more

Wow what an amazing introduction to a trilogy.
Ace is a reaper who goes to earth to claim souls and guides them back to purgatory while they wait for judgement.
Faye has always felt like a outsider until one day a man comes to claim her soul.
Ace and Faye must battle for their lives while trying to battle their attraction.
I for one cannot wait to read the second installment.

September 17, 2015OMG I can't get over how good this book was!! Why have I not read it sooner. I am so so glad I found this author, I have fallen in love with her work already and I've only read this book. The authors writing style is brilliant, I fell straight into the story and the wonderful paranormal world she created and it felt so real the emotions were just rolling of the pages. So many unexpected twists and turns kept me glued to the pages and I actually screamed at the book when it ended, I seriously NEED to know what's going to happen next. I am so glad book 2 is out now because I'm desperate to get my claws into it. I highly recommend this book to all paranormal readers, you won't be disappointed with this one! Amazing book I rate it 5 stars
March 25, 2015
Solid debut novel. I can't wait for book 2 to find out what happens next.

To be honest I started this book then put it down. I wasn’t in the right mind set. It was the best decision I could have made because after going back and rereading from the start again I devoured it.
The story is centred around Faye and Ace..enough said! 😂 Not really...Ace is not supposed to stop the demons from killing Faye but that is exactly what he does. He goes steps further by taking her back to his realm and by falling for her.
The basis is still the same though...good versus evil....two hearts joining as one. But, be prepared, because yes this is a true love story, but it isn’t your usual one! This author is not afraid to pursue storylines that others might not and this is her debut book! 😳

I really enjoyed this one.
Fast paced, gritty, plenty of twists and turns and some wonderfully colourful characters.
This age old story of heaven, hell and everything in between had me gripped from page one and after that ending, I am definitely delving into book 2 to follow the way the story flows and the relationships develop.

Good read
This book was good plenty of drama,romance and action.
There isn't any one bit of it that I would change, the only complaint I have is it didn't grip me. I found myself putting the book down and wanting to read something else in between.

I love the way Kate Bonham brought the characters together. A great read from start to finish.

This was a very good book. There were a few grammatical errors. But otherwise amazing. The characters were great!!! I can't wait to read the next one.
September 14, 2022
I really enjoyed the story line of this book, however, the writing didn’t really flow. There were also a couple of times where I thought I missed something because there were jumps from one situation to another without explanation. I may have continued the series if it were still available though.

Where do I start with this one, well for one I absolutely loved this book!!!
Kate’s writing is phenomenal and like nothing I have read before. I was captured within the first couple of pages. Fate is book one in the fallen from Grace Series and is the story of Faye and Ace.
This is a unconventional paranormal love story between a feisty female and a fallen angel, Fate takes you into a world with Angels, Fallen angels Arch angels and demons, it shows you all the factors that make the balance between heaven and hell and the thin line between good and evil and the acceptance of others. This book has everything, strong friendships, family rivalry and passion.
Kate draws you in to this world with her fast past writing and lots of twists and turns which will keep you up reading all night long, I don’t want to give too much away in this book because it is a must read but I will say I laughed, fell in love with the characters and also cried BIG UGLY TEARS!!!!!!!
I highly recommend this book whether you love paranormal or not as this book will convert you, I for one will be following up with book two Uprising!!!

Kate has produced a reasonable story for her first novel and I am interested to read what happens in the next installments, this is a series I think will be enjoyable. So why did I only give it 3 Stars - just lets say that her editing team and her beta readers did her no favours.
The Story
Ace is a reaper for Purgatory; calming lost souls while they await their final judgment. His latest Death Report was a job like any other, until he interrupts the demons that have been unleashed to kill her. She was just meant to be a job, but she turned out to be so much more.
Faye was unprepared for Ace's entry into her life. Never before had she met anyone who could make her heart skip a beat even as he froze it with fear. Now, not only had he saved her from demons from Hell, he was trying to tell her she wasn't human.
A war has begun between the Fallen and Archangels. The winner gets power over all realms. Has the world's Fate been determined before Faye's true destiny can begin?

I've had this bad boy in my kindle app for months, always meaning to read, but never actually getting the chance. GOSH how I wish I had read it earlier on, but then again maybe not. I would have had to wait to long in between books for the rest of the series, book 3 is due to be released next month... eeekkk!
'Fate' is Kate Bonham's debut & first book in the "Fallen from Grace" series, I can honestly say it was devoured. I couldn't stop! Within the first chapter I'd become addicted to Faye & Ace's lives & the events that brought them together. I don't want to ruin this book for you, so I wont give away any story line, just know that if your a fan of the paranormal genre, this book & series is for you. It was a thrilling read, keeping me enthralled, surprised... this fast paced read is filled to the brim with twist, turns, action, steamy scenes... making you laugh, cry & fall in love with the characters.
I can't wait to read the next books in the series & anything else from Kate Bonham.

A brilliant debut!
Fate takes us on a magical journey of forbidden love, war, loss and devastation... A really fast paced book that you wont be able to put down.
I really loved the characters; Ace was not what I would call an alpha but maybe something better... he wasn't afraid to show his feelings, be they good or bad and I found that really attractive. Faye; WOW! One badass chick!
Kate has woven together a story full of twists and turns that will have your jaw hitting the floor and you're eyes welling up. Her take on Heaven and Hell and that in-between place was vividly written and her take on 'The Fallen' was refreshing.
This book had it all. The only thing holding it back from a 5 star for me was that it changed pov's without warning and this threw me a little bit.
Overall, a great book, Can't wait to read Uprising

This is a fast paced book in which good/bad and heaven and hell fight against each other.
We meet Faye who absolutely awesome. Faye is on a speed dating cruise with her friend Cassandra.
We then get to meet Ace who is a reaper and has been sent to get Faye. Ace and Faye's relationship has so many ups and downs, twists and turns that will keep you reading. It will make you cry, excite you and massive book hangover it ends on. Roll on book 2.
The way Ms Bonham writes really draws you in and you actually feel like your I'm the outside looking in through the window.

This was my first read by this author and I loved it. It was a great twist on a very familiar story for most of us. It does kind of leave you hanging there at the end so be sure to grab the next book in this series! I know I will!
