Then Bailey meets the rest of the Sidhe, an ancient race defined by their power, beauty, and a sinister habit of getting what they want at any cost. Before Bailey knows it, she’s being drawn into an otherworldly web more complicated than anything she weaves as a mortal Fate.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Barnes crosses Greek gods with faeries in her addition to the teens-with-special-powers-and-destinies genre. In this companion novel to Tattoo, Bailey, aka the Fate of Life ("single-handedly responsible for weaving the lives of the entire world"), is back and joined once more by best friends Delia, Annabelle and Zo. With the help of mysterious pendants (Bailey's friends have lost the powers they possessed in the first book), they must help Bailey face the Reckoning, when she must choose between her world and the Otherworld. Barnes has her mythical realms covered with the Otherworld, "also known as Faerie, Olympus, Avalon, and the Beyond," where Bailey spends her nights while her less-mythic friends dream. Bailey's upbeat narration adds flair to this story of girl power and friendship, though her Otherworldly trips (which are, unfortunately, italicized) cover large swaths of the book and can feel like a disruption. Readers who hang tight to the friendship arc, though, will find this story pulpy but fun. Ages 12-up. (Mar.)

Synopsis
Set two years after the events in Tattoo, Bailey and her friends are getting ready to graduate from high school and move on with their lives. Unfortunately, Bailey is not ready to move on, or away from her friends. Plus, everything is complicated by her work as a Fate and the quickly approaching Reckoning. Can she find a balance in her life?
Review
This novel was at least as enjoyable as the first novel. I really enjoyed the fact that Bailey's friends would get mad at her for "moping" as many teen novels really focus on the angsty side of life. The new characters were interesting, though I found some of the references to Greek and Roman mythology to be a bit confusing and muddled in this installment.
My Recommendation
This book is great for tweens, there are no questionable elements like sex, drugs, or rock'n'roll. 3/5

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.i just loved it! there are no words to describe how much i loved this book. once i read the first, i just HAD to get my hands on the second. oh, how i wish jennifer lynn barnes is planning on writing a sequel to ease the longing i feel in my heart towards this world that jennifer lynn barnes has miraculously created (lol i just felt like being melodramatic).
but seriously, jennifer lynn barnes is a great author, not only in this series but in the sqaud series, too (i have not read golden, but i am assuming it is just as good). Im saying that fate was better then tattoo but i cant decide weather its better or if the two books are two different kinds of great. Fate got more invloved with the other world, or sidhe, which helped more with letting the situation get more understandable and, consequentially, more serious, while in tattoo the girls were oblivious to just what kind of power the other world had but the girls being naive was something that kept the readers turning the page. in Fate, only bailey has powers, hers are enhanced and allow us to really see what sidhe blood can do, while in tattoo all of the girls had powers which made it more fun to read because you could feel the bond between them growing stronger. ..................i can go on and on but to get to the point, this is an awesome series that you wont regret reading.
Senior year of high school is supposed to be about making memories with your friends and having the time of your life. So why does Bailey feel that her world is about to come crashing down?
Her three best friends are excited about life after high school, while every time she thinks about the future, her stomach becomes tied with knots.
Could it be that Bailey doesn't really have a choice when it comes to her future? While she lives the life of the average high school girl, her life is far from normal. She's part of the three fates that weave and control the destiny of the world. The Sidhe world has rules that Bailey doesn't understand. She suspects something's about to happen when she's brought into the Sidhe world for the first time.
When the truth comes out, will it forever change Bailey's view of the world?
Jennifer Lynn Barnes starts this sequel of TATTOO two years later. She perfectly blends normal everyday life in high school with a supernatural world. Plus, the powers of friendship shine through in this novel and will resonate with readers - particularly those ending their own high school careers.
