“Hanahaki: A fictional disease popular in the fanfiction community. According to the lore, a person develops Hanahaki when they fall in love with a person so deeply that they can’t live without them.”
Well, this was just adorable. From the cover to the predictably cute HEA ending, Fated was a quick fun fantasy short .
Zile Elliven is a new author for me and immediately introduced me to the fictional disease of Hanahaki. Lovesickness in all its floral glory. Or is it gory? Hmmm.
Anyway. Max and his gamer friends are instantly recognizable, cheerful and funny. Max’s fated mate? A glorious fantasy that has been waiting for him.
And it’s even got a cute dog too.
I’m definitely seeking out more from this author and recommending this for all lovers of fantasy fiction.
Cute cover!

Max:
Me? In love with a fictional character? Of course not! So why was I coughing up flowers every time I thought about the fictional character from my favorite video game?
Areth was a sexy, badass monster and utterly perfect, but none of that mattered because he wasn’t real. If I really was in love with him, I was going die, and there was nothing I could do about it.
This story contains:
• Unrealistic size difference resolved by magic
• Fated mates
• A very small dog
• Monster love
• Dimension hopping
• Wanton destruction of furniture
• So very many flowers
Fated is a ridiculous 16,000-word novella with super heckin’ gay monster sexy times.
