Blog Tour: Close to Destiny by @Adria_in_Paris #review and #giveaway



Women's Fiction with Paranormal Undertones
Date Published: February 20, 2015


Kat is struggling to get her life back together and put her anorexia and suicide attempts behind her. She must expel the mysterious inner demons that have plagued her for years, and patch up the rocky relationship with her fiancé.

But when she arrives in London for a therapeutic art project, an encounter with an enigmatic woman named Destiny upsets her views of reality and plunges her into a quest for the truth about her past—an astonishing past that reaches back well before her birth.

After midnight, Destiny leads Kat to extravagant parties at an eerie luxury hotel and introduces her to a man who seems to know her better than she knows herself. Kat tries to convince herself this is all part of a strange dream. But as evidence mounts suggesting otherwise, Kat is torn between fascination and fear.

Will Kat run away, or will she seize the fleeting opportunity to change her life and find true love?

Alternating between the reality of day and the mystery of night, Close to Destiny by best-selling author Adria J. Cimino is a magical realism story of déjà vu and righting past wrongs that will delight fans of authors like Sarah Addison Allen and Erin Morgenstern.

Review
 I loved the characterization and how well developed the characters were. They really helped to give compassion to me as a reader for their circumstances. 
I enjoyed the pacing and plot as a whole. There were times I was a bit lost and trying to figure out what was going on and what was reality and what was not. As things began to unfold it all really managed to come together.
