About this book
Walking away from his fated mate was the hardest choice Connall O’Daire ever made. By choosing a legacy of darkness, he stained his own name with blood, and he intends to be the last man to carry it.
He has survived by choosing control over comfort, power over belonging, and a life of solitude built to keep everyone else safe.
But that choice is unraveling.
Quinn, Isaac, Elias, and Kaian are being drawn into his orbit, each bond burning with magic, heat, and the dangerous promise of family. And Soren, the mate he left behind, has never truly been gone.
With sinister forces closing in, Connall must face the truth he’s been running from: getting everything he’s ever wanted means risking everything he’s spent his life protecting.
The Paths We Choose is a high-heat, multi-POV MMMMMM omegaverse romance about rejected bonds, found family, dangerous magic, and the courage to stay when everything in you says run. It is the first book in a sweeping three-part arc of love, fate, and consequence.
If you crave:
• Rejected mates, second chances, and bonds that refuse to stay buried
• Dangerous magic, criminal legacies, and Fate with a plan of Their own
• Wounded men, possessive devotion, and a pack forged through choice
• Heat, deep emotion, and found family built in fire
Start the journey with The Paths We Choose and fall into a trilogy of love, consequence, and impossible choices. This is the first book in an interconnected three-book arc, so expect emotional cliffhangers, deepening bonds, expanding lore, and a pack that is built book by book.
Content Advisory:
Themes include trauma, violence, criminal coercion, emotional abuse, rejection, PTSD, panic, magical threats, and emotional breakdowns. Grief, vulnerability, and healing are explored with care. Please take care of yourself while reading.
World Note:
While The Paths We Choose and the Crossroads trilogy can be read on their own, readers of Fated in the Stars series will recognize Connall O’Daire before the events of this book. Crossroads also expands the lore of both Were and magical culture within the larger Fated in the Stars universe.

THAT ENDING THOUGH???? Yeah no, Remy I need book 2 IMMEDIATELY because what do you MEAN you’re leaving me there? This is a dark paranormal omegaverse romance about a man who walked away from his fated mate years ago to protect him from the violent life he was born into… only for fate to drag him right back into the orbit of not just one mate, but an entire pack of men who slowly become everything he never allowed himself to have. Add dangerous magic, mafia ties, rejected bonds, found family,...

ARC honest review: This one was a struggle for me to get into just because it’s a slow build up to the plot that still didn’t get anywhere at the end of the book. It does end rather abruptly and the rejected mates theme doesn’t really hit rejected mates for me. I really enjoyed all the characters since it is hard to find MM+ omegaverse pack books plus the humor. But overall not a fan of this one. I enjoyed this authors other books and I’m sure this series gets better as it progresses. )

First of I wanted to say this is my first time reading any of Remys books and since this series is part of a Interconnected world from both the Crossroads series and The Fated in the Stars series i will go back and read those series at a later date when I got time to read them. At first this book took me a few days to read becuse it were a writing style I were not as familiar with but if we look past that this story were really good. Walking away from his fated mates we're one of the hardest...

The Paths We Choose is the first book in The Crossroads Series. This could be read as a standalone but in my opinion this book is best after reading Fated in the Stars series. I couldn't put this book down once I started it. This is the story of the Crossroads pack. In this book the pack is being brought together by fate. The pack members we meet are Connall, Quinn, Isaac, Elias, Kaian, and Soren. I enjoyed this rollercoaster ride of emotions this story brought out. I loved the characters and...

I loved this book! I’m so excited for the rest of this series. Even though it’s set in the Threads of Fate universe, it’s a completely different story. The characters are all so unique, and their backstories are so deep that the author could probably write a whole separate series just on them. It leaves you wanting more and I can’t wait for the next one. Great job, Remy Bishop! )
