Hope’s Defeat by: Angela McPherson is the third in the Fated book series. This story is the perfect end to a perfect day. This book has amazing characters new and old that were well developed and fun to read about. All of these books were fun and full of just enough to keepn you in the edge of jour seat waiting to see what will happen next . I enjoyed this book as much if not more than its counterparts. Cant wait to see what this author does next. I give this book a solid 5 stars.
Hope’s Defeat (The Fated Book 3) by Angela McPherson is another amazing paranormal fantasy book in this series. Angela has certainly written a series that is great and one that everyone should read and is one of my all time favourites. The characters are wonderful and some of my favourites of any series. With Gods, Demi gods, based on Greek mythology with a twist and combined with paranormal, it is a winner. This book takes up where the last one left off and is just as fantastic as the others if not better. In this book the fight for light and dark, good and evil continues but is the biggest fight to date with twists and turns you don’t always see coming. Angela has woven another magical, mystical, mysterious masterpiece that is original take on Pandora’s box. This tale will keep you glued to your seat as you journey along and help fight the evil invading their world.
Hope’s Defeat (The Fated #3) by Angela McPherson was the epic conclusion I was hoping for.
The third and final book in The Fate series, we are taking on a heart stopping journey that has more than one life on the line. I have to say, this is what I’ve been waiting for from this series. Just some housekeeping before we start, this is part of a continuation series, and each book picks up where the last leaves off. So I highly suggest reading the first two books, if not you will be lost and confused. And you will not be able to appreciate the progress and development our characters had displayed throughout. (Especially the MC)
I did have some issues with the other books, but held on as I knew there was something epical great hidden deep within this wonderful dark world, that Angela McPherson has created. I do still have some minor things, but again that all has to do with the MC, and frankly at this point, there’s no need to get into it, as this is the last book.
What I want to stress is how freaking stoked I am about this book. It had a compelling plot, dangerous, dark and heartbreaking. The action starts pretty much right out of the gate, as does the race against time. And Blain, man oh man, I’m starting to wonder if the author hates him or something. Poor guy can’t catch a break. But in all seriousness, that turn brought that extra desperate layer that I believe was missing from the other books. Ethics and morals come into play, and for me, finally got me to like Trinity.
If you haven’t guessed from my gushing, I highly recommend this book, and this series. It gets my high stamp of approval, and my hope you will add this wonder to your collection.
Happy Reading
-E.A. Walsh
I give Hope’s Defeat (The Fated Book 3) by Angela McPherson, 4 stars.
**This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.**
The evil darkness now took over Blain. Trinity doesn’t know what to do anymore. She promised to never stop. But so many Watchers have died trying to rescue him. So she decides to take matters into her own hands. But it’s not that easy. Melia was nothing compared to the new evil that is lurking. Cronus. An evil god who was locked away and now wants to come back and take over. But will Trinity give him what he wants just to get Blain back? If she does, then what?
I have enjoyed this series and this book is no exception. Trinity has really stepped up to take on the responsibilities required of her. But she still struggles. She is tired of everything getting worse. This makes her real and likable because she is not perfect. Her family and friends really play parts in this too. They have to accept what she really is and her role in all this. The people are what make this book and series. But the story is great too. One enemy has been defeated, but there is one even worse. A god. And the other gods cannot and will not help. This was an interesting addition to this book.
Overall, this was a great book and I highly recommend it to young adult and older lovers of fantasy and urban fantasy who also enjoy a strong female lead character.
Hope’s Defeat (The Fated Book 3)
By Angela McPherson
I have loved this series from the beginning and this final book was no exception. This story has everything in you want in a good fantasy, there’s action, magic, suspense, romance, and so much more. This book had me on the edge of my seat through most of the story. I cannot get enough of Trinity and Blain, I am so sad to see it come to an end. The author did an amazing job really connecting you to the story so that you feel invested as these characters grew and wrapped it up nicely. You really need to read the first two books in this series before this one because it all comes together as your reading. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book and this series as a whole except to say that you must read it!! I highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed, this is a 5 star read for me!!
Hope’s Defeat is book three in the Fated series by Angela McPherson. It continues with Trinity, Blain and crew fighting to save the world and mankind. This story is so far from what I read on a regular basis, it makes my heart happy to read each word. The dramatic and ever present danger and violence just adds to the appeal and I always have to read this author’s work in one go.
As usual, the writing is so captivating, so ethereal, it draws a reader into this world and the experience is so unique, you are left wondering if that really happened. The lines are blurred between fantasy and reality. The escape into these stories is entire and solid. Nothing much else exists except these characters and their journey. Oh, and coffee to heighten the experience even more. Reading this story made me really happy and it is a book that is well worth a reread. 5 stars.
Hope’s Defeat ( The Fated Series Book 3) by Angela McPherson is the third book in the Fated series and is the continuance of Trinity and Blain’s story. If you haven’t already read the first two books in this series I highly suggest you do .Oh man I’m completely blown away .I love this book/ series and can guarantee I will be reading it again and again. I can say this series is definitely on the top of my list of Phenomenal books/series that I have read in 2018 .What happens when Blain turns to the darkside?Can Trinity bring him back without it costing her her own life?I was on the edge trying to figure out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book / series.I can’t wait to read more from this Author
Hopes Defeat was a great 5 star read and the final book in The Fated series.
This series pulled me in right from the start. We have action, suspense, romance and so much more.
We continue with Blain and Trinity’s story, Blain has been infected. Trinity is trying to save him. When she finally finds someone that might be able to help she has to make a choice? Will she make the right one?
I was on an emotional roller coaster with everything going on and on the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next. There are several twist and turns. All of the secondary characters added a great element to each of the books in the series. Angela McPherson’s writing pulls you right in, you feel like your right there with the characters. I was very happy with the ending. I highly suggest reading the series from the beginning, you will understand everything so much better.
Hope’s Defeat is the third installment of the Fated Series by Angela McPherson. This series is one that I will read again because I am afraid, I missed something. The world that Angela McPherson has created with her stories makes me want to live in her books (I know that is not possible, but one can dream). This story has all the same elements as the first two books, paranormal. Mythology, curses, gods and goddess, and light and dark. This story is a continuation of Trinity and Blain story. Trinity is trying to help Blain get out of his situation with the dark side of the road. She is willing to give up everything and I mean EVERYTHING for him. What will Trinity have to do to get the dark side away from Blain? Enjoy the story of Hope’s Defeat. Thank you, Angela McPherson for the Fated Book series.

4 Stars!!!!
Once again I have delved into Trinity’s world and once again I was sucked in from page one. The author has such a refreshing writing style. The story just rolls out from the pages and takes the reader on a journey. I couldn’t put the book down wanting to find out what would happen next.
The whole fight against evil even though supernatural is brought to life in this book. I found myself routing for Trinity and Blain. The whole twist at the end just brought the whole book full circle for me. I am such a huge fan of Greek mythology and the way in which the author uses it brings such a refreshing take on it all. I will definitely be reading more from this author and hopefully more from this series.
Hope’s Defeat is the third book in The Fated Series by author Angela McPherson. To get the full experience of this incredible paranormal, fantasy read, then I suggest you start from the beginning and thoroughly enjoy the incredible growth of our main characters and their story. Trinity and Blain continue on their journey in this read and also continue to develop and face new challenges.
The action starts straight away and doesn’t let up until the end! This book and this entire series so far continues to suck you into this world, that the author has created, she has once again made this a mentally visual read throughout. I was completely captivated with this read from the very beginning right up until the last page.
The book was filled with twists and turns throughout that had me on the edge of my seat. This book is filled with action, danger, suspense and doesn’t let up at all through the book.
This has been an epic series and another amazing book to this series. I can’t wait to see what else this author will bring us.

Another action packed book in the Fated Series. Trinity has to take extreme measures to set Blain free. Now she has to face Cronus and dealing with gods is always tricky business. They never fight fair and it may cost Trinity her life. She’s decided that no cost is too high to save the other half of her soul.
This is a truly fascinating series and being the third book, I’m sad to see it end. It had action, drama, magic and intrigue. It had gods and goddesses based on Greek mythology, which I love. The characters were well developed and evolved with every book as did the plot. I not only enjoyed the main characters but the secondary ones as well. Maybe we’ll be able to see some stories involving some of the other watchers or demi gods? All in all, this was a fantastic series, one I highly recommend reading.
Hope’s Defeat, Book 3 in the Fated Series by Angela McPherson
5 out of 5 Stars
This third installment of the Fated series is everything I could have hoped for. This book is not a standalone. You will want to read the previous two books in the series to fully understand what is happening in this book as this one starts off with a bang. We start off with Trinity, lost and losing hope for finding Blain. Trinity and Blain share a connection that Blain is struggling to understand and Trinity is struggling to hold on to. You can physically feel the amount of guilt and pressure that Trinity is holding over herself as she searches to find Blain and the sorrow that comes when she learns of the missing Watchers.
Blain is an intense character. His dynamic is both complex, yet very simple. He is purpose driven, fear driven, and emotion driven. He is selfish. He knows that, but at his core, his most basic of creation, he is going to protect Trinity. He was born to do that.
My most favorite part of this entire book and series is the paranormal aspect where the author brought in pieces of mythology. To see all of the actions and the heartbreak from the past two books come to a conclusion in this final book, was both happy and sad at the same time. I am sad that there is not going to be another book, but I am also happy for the conclusion of this epic story.
This author is a masterful storyteller. She has the unique ability to combine known mythology and make it new with interesting characters, heart wrenching story-lines and lovable, relatable characters who you become attached to. I highly recommend this book for lovers of history, paranormal, romance, and scifi. You will not regret picking up this book.
Hope’s Defeat by Angela McPherson a five-star read that will tell you the story. This is Fated book three, and each one builds on the last and grows the story. This one was the most intense of all three, as it brings us the conclusion. Trinity has blossomed as I’ve read her story, it will keep you in suspense and have your jaw dropping with wonder. There was something about Trinity that kept me reading, she has great qualities and really shows us what a great writer that Angela McPherson is.
Angela McPherson’s Hope’s Defeat is the third book of The Fated series. This stunning conclusion brings together what has occurred in the previous two books culminating Trinity’s fate. This story/series has kept me fully engaged throughout leaving nothing to chance. Trinity has been a strong and vibrant character, we continue to see that resolve in this final book. Top of the list in the teen/young adults genre.
Well Angela McPherson sure knows how to write one heck of a finale! This book really just blew me away. I was left wanting more because it was that great, but I was also satisfied with how well it was concluded. Both great signs of a wonderful ending to a wonderful series. I really must reiterate what I have been saying along with my other reviews for The Fated books. Angela Mcpherson’s strong suit is here. I had read some of her other novels prior to picking up these and they were good, but not near as shiny great as these have been. Now as I am mentioning this book is a conclusion to a series so please don’t pick it up before devouring the first two novels and in order or you will be lost as all get out. Besides its worth every second of your reading time. I am not going to go into details and ruin this amazing end for you, I just can’t bare to do it. I do HIGHLY recommend this read, you won’t be disappointed you did! Thank Angela McPherson for the amazing adventure with Trinity and Blain!
A great read about struggles. After the events of the last book, Blain was infected by the dark orbs. Desperate to save him, Trinity uses new powers to look for a forgotten god and ask for help. But everything comes with a price, and is it too much to pay?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Trinity trying to do whats right whilst dealing with new powers or new friends like Kyron and Centu supportive and brave. A spinechilling villain in Cronus
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the natural imagery of the crisp dawn or the green meadows in the dream so vivid felt as if you were there. I also loved the sense of the elements with ice and fire and air with the wind and the aether aswell was a brillaint addition for a more powerful magical feel to the novel. The contrasts with cold and hot and vivid colours such as black and red or green and blue were perfectly written.
I loved how it started straight with the action and Watchers to captivate the reader from the start. I also adored the use of mythology in the book with Cronus and Tarturus true to the original. Fast paced action and high stakes in a fantasy world made for a captivating read.Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

By: Angela McPherson
5 out of 5 stars
The story Hope’s Defeat (The Fated Book 3) by Angela McPherson is a paranormal/fantasy romance book. This is a book and series that hooked me in and I couldn’t get enough of both the storyline and the characters. It has action, danger, suspense, and romance. When reading this series, it would be best to read in order as each story builds on the next. This story has darkness controlling Blain. The hopes of both himself and Trinity to lead a normal life have been shattered. Trinity is determined to free Blain and struggles to hold onto hope as she feels the weight of guilt and at times helplessness. Trinity, however, is strong, stubborn, and a fighter. Blain and Trinity share a connection, a bond. Will Trinity be able to save Blain? Will the path that she is now traveling on cost Trinity her life? Read this book to find out. This story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. It also has scenes that had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. Some of the characters in the story have been brought forward from the first two books and others are new. I enjoyed reading the dialogue/interactions between them. Don’t miss out on an amazing story that you won’t want to put down until you finish it. The author has done a wonderful job in bringing the characters to life and taking you on a journey that you will not soon forget.

Hopes Defeat is the thrilling conclusion (third book) to The Fated series by Angela McPherson. This book(and series) is in my top reads for this year and definitely one of my all-time favourites, ever! I adore this spellbinding fantasy- it has everything you could want in a riveting read, and if you love your fantasy/paranormal- then you are in for a real treat. The book has incredible paranormal elements, a bit of a twist on Greek Mythology, a Curse, Immortals, Gods & Goddesses, Light and dark, good vs evil, mystery, drama, destiny, action, adventure, suspense, danger, intrigue, magic, and romance- it will also keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you guessing the whole way through. This incredible story is woven around the legend of Pandora’s Box and it’s a wonderfully original and exciting read! As I said in my review of the first 2 books, this story/series definitely has a ‘Percy Jackson’ feel to it, and would definitely make a wonderful and exciting television series.
This story picks up 3 weeks after the intense events of the previous book. Trinity feels an enormous amount of guilt over what happened and blames herself. She feels like she’s let everyone down, especially Blain, as she wasn’t able to prevent what happened. But when events unfold, and Trinity is given the chance to be normal, will she take it- or embrace her fate?
GAH!!! I sooooo love this book/series soooo much. I really don’t want it to end!!! This book, being the conclusion, was the most intense and had some heart-pounding suspense and gripping action! It was also steamier than the other two books, as Trinity and Blain’s relationship matures and evolves.
The characters are really superb- so well developed and brought to ‘life’ by Ms. McPherson- they are fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. They were so believable, and continued to mature, grow and develop as the story unfolded.
I really hope that this won’t be the last that we’ll see of these wonderful characters, and that we will get to revisit them again in the future!!!
As I’ve said before- Pure perfection!!!!
I CAN NOT WAIT to see what Ms. McPherson does next!
Thank You, Ms. McPherson!!
What a fantastic book and series! This installment, like the rest, immediately captured my attention. I felt compassion for the characters and felt the emotional roller coaster they experienced. The author does a fantastic job maintaining the universe created throughout the series and developing her characters fully. Very well written and very enjoyable read. Definitely recommended.
