The chemistry between Ari and Tom is reactive, but a deadly secret in a family journal will tear them apart if they can’t avoid fate.
“They are everywhere, can be anyone, and are always the last person you’d expect.” When Tom stumbles across his grandfather’s journal, he’s convinced the old man was crazier than he thought. The book contains references to beings called the Sary, immortals who are assigned to save humans on the verge of suicide. They certainly aren’t allowed to fall in love with mortals. Which the journal claims Tom’s grandfather did, resulting in his expulsion from the Sary. As strange as the journal seems, Tom can’t get the stories out of his head; especially when he finds the photo of his grandfather’s wings.
Tom’s only distraction is Ari, the girl he studies with for their chemistry class.
Ari has one goal when she arrives in town: see how much Tom knows about the Sary and neutralize the situation. This isn’t a normal job, but protecting the secrecy of the Sary is vital. If Tom is a threat to exposing the Sary to the public, fate has a way of taking care of the situation, usually ending with the mortal’s death. While Ari spends time with Tom, he becomes more than just an assignment, but how far can a relationship go when she can’t tell him who she really is? When she finds out just how much Tom actually knows about the Sary, Ari is forced to choose between her wings, and her heart.
THE CHEMISTRY OF FATE is a companion to COLORS LIKE MEMORIES and is set before the latter takes place.
Gorgeous cover! I like the delicate colors and the sense of whimsy.

DeleteLove the cover. I just posted it on my blog too.
ReplyDeleteI love it, too!
DeleteThank you Mary!! :)
DeleteGreat cover and premise!
ReplyDeleteI'll second that!
DeleteThank you! I love the cover, but am particularly fond of the premise, lol!
DeleteSounds good: immortals saving humans on the verge of suicide. Reminded me of 'City of Angels.'
ReplyDeleteA Shimmer of Angels, which came out in January, is almost the exact opposite of this premise.
DeleteI kind of cracked up when I saw Shimmer of Angels for that exact reason--it's seriously my idea in reverse! I now sure what that means, but it's fun :)
DeleteIt really is. Too funny. :)
DeleteWhat a great cover!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I want to pet it. :)
DeleteThanks!! (I'll admit it, I've pet it a few times :)
DeleteI love it - anything with snowflakes and bokah effect makes me happy. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I happen to love the snowflakes for a few reasons and was so happy they were there!
DeleteThe snowflakes are awesome.
DeleteThank you so much Kelly!!

DeleteI not only love the cover - it's so beautiful - but I really like the title and how it cleverly plays into the premise. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! Great point.
DeleteI'm all about the title puns :)
DeleteAlways glad to see two classy ladies joining forces :-)
ReplyDelete:) I can't wait to talk up your book on YA Bound.
DeleteThanks, Faith!
DeleteInteresting dilemma between worrying that your granddad was either crazy or onto something super-important with the Sary. Good luck with the novel!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Catherine.
DeleteThank you! I hope people find it interesting :)
DeleteThe cover and blurb are both great--but I just wanted to say that I LOVE the title.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of strange, because you don't realize how most titles out there are so-so until you read one that is exceptional, like "The Chemistry of Fate." Like.. oh. Yeah. That totally suits this story.
Really excited about this one! Thanks for the reveal, Kelly.
Thank you! Seriously this totally just made my day :)
DeleteThe title is great. I totally agree, Kiersi.
DeleteThat sounds quite yummy. It's an interesting concept, and one I'd love to read. The cover is GORGEOUS!!! I love covers like that. Mysterious. :)
