Predestined by Rachel Byrne — 4.5 Stars
Narrated by Madeline Smith on Audible
I was gifted Predestined on Audible by the author—thank you, Rachel Byrne! I truly enjoyed listening to this YA novel.
The story follows Lina, a 16-year-old girl who’s unexpectedly invited to attend a prestigious academy over the summer. Once she arrives at Haverford Pine, she begins a rigorous training program, all while trying to figure out why she was chosen—especially since she doesn’t believe she has any special talents.
The pacing was spot-on, and the characters actually sounded like real teenagers. Their conversations felt authentic, not like an adult’s interpretation of how teens speak—which is refreshing. The story had a nice flow, with enough intrigue to keep me wanting to listen. There were characters I liked, and a few I definitely didn’t (in a good way!), along with mystery, action, and even a bit of a thriller vibe.
I gave this book 4.5 stars—knocking off half a star only because of the fantasy/sci-fi element. I usually prefer realistic fiction, but honestly, with how fast technology is evolving, who's to say what's not possible?
All in all, a great listen and a strong debut!
