“Our Infinite Fates”, Laura Steven
Published March 4, 2025
Evelyn can remember all her past lives. She can also remember that in every single one, she’s been murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being linked to her soul. The problem is that she’s quite fond of the life she’s in now, and her little sister needs her in order to stay alive. If Evelyn wants to save her sister, she’ll have to find the centuries-old devil who hunts her through each life before they find her first, figure out why she’s being hunted and finally break their curse, and try not to fall in love . . . again.
“I love you, I have loved you, and I will love you.”
I regret delaying Our Infinite Fates almost immediately. I had it borrowed two ways at once (audio from the public library, digital from Kindle Unlimited), and once I finally started, it became I had made a huge mistake waiting so long: this is a story that demands to be read in one sitting. I bounced seamlessly between formats, listening while moving through my day and then switching back to reading whenever I could sit still for a moment.
At its heart, Our Infinite Fates delivers one of my favorite premises: a love that follows two souls across countless lifetimes (similar titles: My Name is Memory, Firebird series). Laura Steven handles this idea with both emotional clarity and imaginative scope, giving each of Evelyn and Arden’s incarnation its own texture while maintaining the ache and inevitability that binds the lovers together. Add to that the layer of mystery—why does Arden persist on loving and inevitably murdering Evelyn before their 18th birthday? Why does Arden remember more than Evelyn? Will they ever end their vicious cycle of love and death?
What impressed me most was how compulsively readable the book was despite its big, metaphysical ideas. Steven balances reincarnation, destiny, and emotional stakes without bogging the story down, letting the romance carry the weight while the concept deepens it. By the time I finished, I was grateful for the experience of being fully immersed in a story that understands exactly why love-across-lifetimes is such a powerful draw for me. Our Infinite Fates is sweeping, intimate, and utterly addictive — the kind of book that makes you want to follow these souls wherever they go next, especially with that relatively satisfying ending.
