The book starts by introducing us to three different groups of characters: Hannah and her family from the mid-1600s, Roy Barrett and his family from the latter half of the 1900s, and Elizabeth Miller and her family in the more recent past. Liz, Jeff, and Lee are siblings who grew up in a middle-class home in California. Liz was four years older than her youngest sibling and didn't play with them much. Lee was friends with Melanie, but when Lee's parents moved to the countryside, she started hanging out with a different group of friends, which upset Melanie. Years later, Lee discovers that she and her family are cursed, and she begins to wonder if the hardships they faced were caused by the curse. This leads Lee and Liz to investigate the mystery and try to solve the puzzle. Along the way, they question their beliefs in religion, God, Satan, heaven, hell, guardian angels, and demons.

Fate of the Sisters, written by Debra Ann Ristau, is divided into three parts. This is the first book in the Warrior Guardian Angels series. Throughout the book, faith is portrayed as the central aspect. The author's writing style is simple yet engaging. She skillfully weaves well-researched actual ancestors into the story of Liz, Jeff, Lee, and Roy.

While reading the book, you will notice that the author firmly believes in the power of prayer. She beautifully reiterates that our intentions govern our thoughts, which determine our actions. The book emphasizes that no specific format is required to follow God. All that is required of us is to be good. If we ever realize that we have made a mistake, we should ask for forgiveness. I agree with all of her points and appreciate that she does not limit her thoughts on faith to any particular religion.

Although it is labeled as fiction, the plot feels realistic, and the characters' responses to various situations are both intriguing and inspiring. The interactions between angels, demons, and various souls in the book are exactly how we internally talk with ourselves before we come to conclusions. I found the scenes at the club involving Liz and the dog's reactions at home relatable. Through the book, the author reminds the readers that our loved ones are always doing their best to protect us and keep us close to good and God, while the demons are constantly pulling us in the opposite direction. The book will either reassure you of your beliefs or make you reconsider them.

I would have appreciated a detailed index page with page numbers. It would have been of immense help while reexamining certain events. I hope the author will consider this for future editions. I did encounter a few minor errors. As the missing index and the errors did not diminish my reading experience, they do not warrant any reduction in rating. I have nothing negative to say about the plot, the characters, or the book. Hence, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
 
Please note that this book contains profanity and a couple of graphic scenes, making it unsuitable for younger readers. Overall, it is a compelling read that will leave you thinking about the afterlife and the role of angels and demons in our lives.

How would Lee’s journey to uncover her family’s curse alongside Liz end? The story makes me think whether their investigation feels more like a personal reckoning or a supernatural thriller.

This part really spoke to me. At the heart of it, doing good, learning from our mistakes, and asking for forgiveness is what truly matters. Beautifully said, @Seetha E
