Fated (The Soul Seekers #1) by Alyson Noel.
Audience/Genre : Young Adult/Paranormal.
Publication : May 22nd 2012 by St. Martin's Press.

The first book in a magnificent new series about a girl who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead by #1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël.

Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met.

There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out to steal her powers. Now Daire must embrace her fate as a Soul Seeker and find out if Dace is one guy she’s meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she’s destined to destroy.

Is there a specific song that you think goes with Fated or Daire?

The song Into the Night by Carlos Santana & Chad Kroeger reminds me of Daire Santos so much that I think of it as her theme song! You can see the entire SOUL SEEKERS playlist here: http://www.alysonnoel.com/soul-seekers/fun.php

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?

At the risk of being judged, and I know that I will be the moment this gets out, I must confess that I haven’t read either of these series. Though I do own the entire HARRY POTTER boxed set—I’m just waiting for some free time so I can dig in!

Favorite quote from a book or movie?

“It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.” –American Beauty
