The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets This is How You Lose The Time War in this fantastical love story that defies death as two souls reincarnate through the centuries.
They've loved each other in a thousand lifetimes. They've killed each other in every one.
Evelyn can remember all her past lives. She can also remember that in every single one, she’s been murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being linked to her soul. The problem is that she’s quite fond of the life she’s in now, and her little sister needs her in order to stay alive. If Evelyn wants to save her sister, she’ll have to find the centuries-old devil who hunts her through each life before they find her first, figure out why she’s being hunted and finally break their curse, and try not to fall in love . . . again.

Our Infinite Fates is a sweeping romantic fantasy (romantasy if you will) about a woman who has lived many lives…and died just as many times. She remembers all the past lives and this time she is determined to not suffer the same fate.
The story is told with both a present day look at the characters, and the past reflections. This really allows you to feel for the characters-deeply. Arden and Evelyn have been fated to die at 18-when Arden kills her and then he dies. Listen, this book is an ugly cry for sure. I’m not sure I was prepared for that. It gets really dark at times and the overall tone is sadness and despair. The ending was…shocking? Unsettling? Frustrating? I’m not sure how to describe it. This whole book kind of defies definition. I loved parts, but it was heartbreaking and sad. I wanted something-anything-good to happen for them. I guess there is a little good in knowing, but as a romance reader, the ending was difficult for me.
As an audiobook, the narrator was fantastic. Sofia Oxenham did a great job!
