Fated by Alyson Noel

The first book in a magnificent new series about a girl who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead by #1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël.
Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met.
There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out to steal her powers. Now Daire must embrace her fate as a Soul Seeker and find out if Dace is one guy she’s meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she’s destined to destroy.

Goodreads Summary

Alyson Noël has a special ability to paint pictures in the minds of her readers. Scenes and characters in this book are pictured easily from the descriptions. The supernatural plot is not overly complicated, but complex enough to keep readers interested and guessing. Daire Santos grew up traveling the world, movie set to movie set with her makeup artist mother. Now as a teenager, Daire has been plagued by visions and experiences time freezes. The only solution is for Daire is to go live with a grandmother that she has never met.
Daire is headstrong. This irritates me, but makes her a believable character. What teenage girl would be happy to go live with someone she does not know? Daire is determined and smart. There are some plot twists in this book that I don’t want to reveal. I will give away that there is myth, legend, and Native American stories in this book. I give this book four out of five stars.
