Elena Rosales has busted her ass to get into a good college. She’s the only one in her family ever to attend, and expectations are high. No pressure. But Elena’s got this one in the bag, because she’s as dependable as the molecules she studies, as reliable as the chemical reactions that comfort her in their predictability. Until they don’t.

Elena has always wondered why her mother abandoned her on her first birthday. It’s not until she turns eighteen and her chemistry experiments go berserk that she learns the truth: Her mother wasn’t human, and the Fae are willing to harm those Elena loves if she doesn’t use her power over the elements to cure them of a deadly disease. Derek, Elena’s brooding neighbor, isn’t the friendliest guy, but he has access to an off-hours lab and is willing to help Elena create the antivirus. He has his own secrets to keep, and this business Elena is mixed up in could blow his cover.

But when Elena and Derek get together, more than chemicals spark fire-and they soon discover just how complicated attraction can get when they find themselves on the other side of the portal, fighting for survival. Lives collide, and allegiance and love are tested, in Fates Divided.

***My Review***

I always say that I don't like paranormal books. Maybe can get old but is the truth, there are only a few books that catch my attention and that’s when I decided to read Fates Divided. 

I really loved the book, and I get totally attached to the characters, Jules has a way to make you envolved in everything she's writing that I wasn't surprised at all when at the end I was wondering how much I have to wait for the second book.

This book tells us the story about Elena and Derek, two people which can't be "together",  because they were born of a Fae/Human union, and they would have to face the consequences of the union between both. I enjoyed a lot the fantasy side of the book, all about chemistry and biology and get to find a cure for all the human race (I'm in love with chemistry *laughs*), so those parts where really appealing to me and they marked the fact that I really enjoyed this book, despite is not a genre I usually read.

In Fates Divided, you can see how everything develops between Elena and Derek's relationship and also the cure that has to be found to save the human race. Knowing that, you won't want to wait to the second book, because you really get alone with the characters and the fantastic world that Jules create in this book! So what are you waiting for to add Fates Divided in your shelves?
