I received an ARC of this book. Love the cover & the blurb they both made me want to read this more & the cover is so fitting. I was not disappointed! I loved the world building, the main characters personalities, and the premise of this book. I was curious & so glad I read it. The soulmate countdowns was intriguing. The agency with all the mystery behind it was super interesting. But what I loved most was the interactions between the main characters. They both have great personalities that make the story more likable! I'm looking forward to the next book! That cliffy really got me & now I need more! Highly recommend! ❤️

I was absolutely in love with this book! From beginning to end, I was on my toes and thrown for a few different plot twists! I related a lot to the character Noa. Her relationships in her home life and her love for Christopher. The epilogue did however have me on the edge of my seat! So grateful to have been able to ready this early! Thank you K.B! ❤️

"The agency is always watching."


I received an advance reader copy of this book and was immediately intrigued by the cover and the illustrated character portraits the author shared on her Facebook page. From the very first page, I was completely captivated. The author demonstrates remarkable skill in both storytelling and world-building, crafting vivid imagery that brings the narrative to life. As expected, the book concluded with a compelling cliffhanger. I am now an enthusiastic admirer of this author and look forward to reading all her future works! ❤️

I received a copy of Marked by Fate as an ARC reader. I was first intrigued by the cover art, but completely hooked by the end of the first chapter, and it only got better. The connection between Christopher and Noa is indescribable, but somehow, K.B. Riley captured it perfectly. I can honestly say I got goosebumps. Don't let this book pass you by! ❤️

I received this book as an ARC read and I will be honest. K.B. Riley can write!

This book had my attention the whole time.

The characters are very well written along with the story line is easy to understand. I loved the FMMC.

I can't wait to have a physical copy of this book.

This is an ARC review of Marked by Fate and all opinions are my own.


I was intrigued from start to finish. I found the aspect of the Countdown Mark unique, and I needed to know more! The characters were loveable; Christopher and Noa found calm in each other. This book kept me on my toes and wanting to guess where the story is headed or what the secrets are. If you liked The Hunger Games or Red Queen then give this one a try!


Thank you, K.B. Riley, for gifting me this eARC and sharing this story.
