Map of Fates... A Sneak Peek
Welcome to Sneak Peek Saturday on Reading List!
Current book:
Map of Fates
Maggie Hall
Goodreads Summary:
Two weeks.
That’s how long it took for Avery West’s ordinary life to change forever: In two weeks, she discovered she was heiress to a powerful secret society known as the Circle, learned her mother was taken hostage by the Circle’s enemies and fell for a boy she’s not allowed to love, just as she found out another was her unwelcome destiny.
Now, Avery crosses oceans in private jets to hunt for clues that will uncover the truth about the Circle, setting her mom and herself free before it’s too late. By her side are both the boys: Jack—steady, loyal, and determined to help her even at the expense of his own duty—and Stellan, whose connection to Avery grows stronger by the day despite her best intentions, making her question what she believes at every turn.
But at the end of a desperate hunt from the islands of Greece to the red carpet at Cannes comes a discovery that not only changes everything but could bring the whole world to its knees. And now Avery is forced to face the truth: in the world of the Circle, no one is what they seem.

Sneak Peek:
"The heat at the back of my eyes built up again. What this world did to people. What it'd done to this boy whose life had been far harder than mine, looking up at me with a mix of emotions in his face. I wasn't sure I understood." p 211
Initial Thoughts
This books probably suffers a little of middle-book in a series syndrome, in that I am not feeling pulled in as much. Yet, the story is complex, without making me feel lost, and I keep turning pages long after I need to put the book down. I am getting the feeling I am going to be waiting for book three as soon as I'm done...
