Galena Margolis, a brilliant scientist with a tragic past, is determined to fulfill her destiny and develop the vaccine that could save millions. Yet when Galena's test subjects meet with foul play, it's clear that someone is still determined to stop her, and that Galena herself is a target. As the Ferry empire forges a plan to keep her safe, Declan Ferry, the politics-hating black sheep of the family, steps forward to protect her, but the emotional cost may be more than either of them is willing to pay. As unknown enemies close in, it becomes terrifyingly clear that they threaten to destroy not only Galena's lifesaving work but also the very fabric of fate. As Galena and Declan race to uncover the traitor, they also forge a special bond that could save both Galena and those she's sworn to help. Torn apart by the past and hunted by those she trusted, can Galena find room amidst her fears for a passion that could make her stronger than ever? And even if she and Declan can find their way together, will it be enough to keep the future from coming apart at the seams?… (mais)

This is the second book in the Servants of Faith series by Sarah Fine. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, Marked, and looked forward to reading this follow up book. The first book focused on Cacia Ferry and Eli Margolis, and did a great job introducing us to all the characters and their places in the Afterlife. This installment focused on Eli's sister, Galena, a brilliant scientist, and Declan Ferry, Cacia's brother. When the two are sort of forced together, their not so hidden attractions to each other get a chance to play out, amid lots of stress and betrayal.

Claimed was a well written book with likeable characters and action that just kept going and kept me turning the page and on the edge of my seat. The world building was, again, phenomenally done.

I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading the third book in the series, Fated.

5/5 stars. ( )

The Ferry family exists to liaise between the Ker who mark people for death (and often bring about those deaths) and the higher powers who claim those souls after death. It's their job to meet the souls after they've died and escort them to their particular afterlife.

In [b: Marked (Servants of Fate #1|21805566|Marked (Servants of Fate, #1)|Sarah Fine|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408475509s/21805566.jpg|41068478] we meet Cacia Ferry, a paramedic and the daughter of the Charon--the CEO of the Ferry Corporation and leader of their family. Her father is killed--and marked--before his time, and suddenly Cacy and her family are search for a rogue Ker who is defying the rules they all live by. She's also dawn to her new partner, Eli, who is in danger right alongside her.

In [b: Claimed (Servants of Fate #2|23622993|Claimed (Servants of Fate, #2)|Sarah Fine|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417074014s/23622993.jpg|43228461] the story focuses on Eli's sister Galena, a scientist who is close to discovering a cure for many diseases, and Declan, Cacy's older brother. Galena is targeted by more rogue Kers and everyone, Ferry and Ker, comes together to hunt down the rogues.

What's cool about these books is the worldbuilding. The Boston of these books is a canal city, most of it flooded because of climate change. Pennsylvania and most of the rest of the U.S. is desert wasteland. Water is rare, so is fresh food, and bacterial disease run rampant.

Ferrys and Kers receive a gold coin that they must split once each soul is guided to its afterlife. The Ferrys have created a corporation based on this wealth, and the economy of the Ferrys and the Kers plays a big part in these stories, especially when you consider the affect of Galena's possible cure on things.

I'm looking forward to book 3, which I'm guessing will focus on Cacy's older sister, current Charon, and Jason, leader of the Ker.

Interesting take on Fairies and Carrion and their relation to death. Lots of drama. Explicit content. Lack of trust. Plenty of conflict and death. Story held my attention from the beginning. Good character, storyline, and plot. ( )

Set in the distant future after storms around the world have seriously changed the landscape, the weather and the availability for food and water, a lot of people are dying from disease. There are two businesses that make a great deal of money on death. The Keres, lead by Moros who is a brother of the Fates, has the job of marking individuals when it is there time to die. The Ker doing the marking gets to choose how that person will die. The other is from the Ferry family who guides the soul to cross over in one direction or the other. The family has turned this business into a huge empire.

So it’s not so surprising when someone is ready to do whatever they can to prevent Dr Galena Margolis, who has just started human trials on a vaccine that will cut the number of yearly deaths by one third, from succeeding. And the best way to protect her after the second attempt on her life is to make her immortal by means of joining with a Ferry.

The world building and back story get bigger as are the threats this time around. I like the world and situations that have been created, although I definitely wouldn’t want to live there. We’ve got a mystery that while the questions are answered; an even larger issue is uncovered which takes us into the next book. The story gets intense and there is plenty of action.

Both Galena and Declan are very likable and strong characters and together they make a great a couple. Wow, who wouldn’t want a guy like Dec? But the romance aspect fell somewhat short for me, partly due to the amount of time spent on Galena facing and letting go of baggage she’s carrying.

I enjoyed the story, but not quite as much as I did with the first book, Marked. But with the new bigger threat in the back story, I will definitely be getting the next book. ( )

Claimed by Sarah Fine is the second book of Servants of Fate series. Dr. Galena R. Margolis is traumatized after almost being killed the week before (also from a past brutal attack), but she is continuing with her research of a special vaccine (along with the help of her assistants Ankita and Jian). Galena is already doing human trials with five subjects. Galena’s vaccine is the only hope of stopping/conquering the plagues that are killing millions of people. Someone, though, is determined to stop Galena from creating the vaccine.

Galena needs to be kept safe and alive, but how can that goal be achieved. Declan Ferry has taken an interest in Galena. He would like to get to know her, but time is not on their side. Cacy Kerry (Declan’s sister) comes up with a plan but are Galena and Declan ready to pay the price? Galena is going to have to overcome her violent attack in order to keep herself safe and create the vaccine that is badly needed.

Someone is taking control of the Ker’s and making them go against the wishes of the Lord of Kere’s, Jason Moros. Who is behind these attacks? Aislin Ferry is now the Charon (as well as the head of the family company Psychopomps) and has a lot on her plate. She is trying to undo everything her wicked brother, Rylan did while in control as well as handle the attacks. Someone is trying to change the fabric of fate and everyone is going to have to work together to keep it from unraveling.

To understand Claimed you need to read the first book in the series, Marked. I give Claimed 4 out of 5 stars. Please be aware that the book has a rape scene (Galena’s attack was mentioned in Marked and described in more detail in Claimed) and two sex scenes. I give Claimed 4 out of 5 stars. I liked the story but not as well as Marked. This book read more like a romance novel and did not have the intensity of Marked.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
