This turns out to be a time in their lives when they meet the people they will come to love as well as a time to face the problems from their past. With the power of the Black Magi running through their veins they also must struggle with the darkness that tries to take over their lives.

Fates Fulfilled is an extremely powerful dark romance filled with thrilling suspense. Creatively written this is the third and sadly final book in the Eldritch Legacy trilogy. In this story once again characters and events from the past are used to guide the present day characters. For this reason readers need to read all three books in order to understand and be truly fascinated by how well the past and present come together.

Strong compelling characters take the readers into a story that shows how strength and weakness goes hand in hand in the Eldritch family. Their desires are frequently expressed through the darker side of passion in BDSM. It is balance that is hard to find for some of the characters that creates a constant state of fear. The sinister power in their blood continues to whisper to them to give in and do the unthinkable. The intensity builds throughout the story as readers see the power trying to take control. Readers will find themselves on edge as the darkness gains power.

Numerous excitingly wicked scenes are used to express the passion that develops between the characters. Scenes using bondage and submission are found quite frequently. Readers should also be made aware that there are some scenes involving the blood fetish in which cutting with razor blades is described. The author did a wonderful job in describing scenes using props such as crops and floggers as well as the razor blade to provide information to help make these activities safer. This is a story for the open minded. Not everyone that reads will want to go out and do what they read but there are also many things that readers may find quite interesting in small doses. For the most point they show how emotions and desires of the characters are spent in pleasure instead of doing something evil. They set the mood for the story and as the readers come to know the family they will realize how important it is that they find this type of release.

This story is about a family and the power of the Black Magi. Very imaginative, it deals with things such as spell casting, pentagrams and the use of herbs. It also demonstrates that power can be twisted and misused in many forms. Exciting action and thrilling surprises are in store for the readers as the characters find themselves facing a powerful threat. Readers are encouraged to look for this latest by Katrina Strauss, Fates Fulfilled- book three in the Eldritch Series. Sadly it is said that this is the last in the series but readers can only hope that there will many more stories like this in the author�s future.
