A chain of tragic deaths across Dubai spanning two decades, only Valda knows they were not accidents, but murders. Her name is next on that list. Spunky singer Valda ditches her old life in Cape Town for a new start in glittering Dubai. Armed with just her cigarettes and some attitude she sets about reigniting her career and putting to bed the heartache over her former boyfriend Richard.
Valda does indeed find success and to her astonishment love, but all is threatened when she is introduced to a billionaire Sheikh. Her clandestine liaison with the Sheikh, propels her into a murky web of deceit and when newspaper clippings of seemingly accidental deaths across Dubai are posted anonymously to her it is clear she is rushing headlong into the same fate. No one dare cross the Sheikh and she can hardly hardly turn to the law, so with few options open she confides in Larissa. As an astrologer, Larissa predicts that Valda and the Sheikh's destinies were sealed from the moment of their first meeting; however she keeps the dire fate that she reads in the charts a secret. Lara resolves to help Valda flee Dubai and the ever tightening grip of the Sheikh; but should Valda be putting all her faith in her new friend and guru of the grimoires.
Together, Valda and Larissa take a gamble in a game of cosmic Russian Roulette where the stakes are their lives and their adversary, Fate itself.
A thoroughly modern cocktail of intrigue, passion and suspense set against the exotic locales of Cape Town and Dubai with an eclectic mix of characters, a perfect beverage if you like a tangy lemon peel in your drink as this one has a twist at the end too, but you'll have to read it to discover it. Trailer:youtube.com/watch?v=nwjzJAlLVxo

Lisa Gordon tells the story at a cracking pace and it passes the time quite amiably. You get a real feel for the settings of Dubai, its exotic colour mixed with danger, which is interesting to read. --The Astrological Journal When I started this book it seemed to be light holiday reading but as I read on the suspense tightened and I found I was reading a really good thriller. -Richard Llwellyn of Api-uk.org --The Astrological Journal

Most entertaining and well worth reading! It is well written and engaging, rushing you along with some surprises and twists which really keep you guessing until the last page! --Nina Lazarus, Esoteric Book Review This novel can offer sumptuous feast to the lovers of esoteric fiction. --Express Starteller --Nina Lazarus, Esoteric Book Review

"For a slender offering, it is a complex novel, written with great care. It is also one of the hardest books to categorize as it fits in both in the thriller genre as well as the much overlooked esoteric fiction genre. It makes you wonder about things such scary things as destiny, fate and karma. She has an affinity for place in this and it turns A Sealed Fate into something a bit more complex than I initially thought. This is the debut novel by Lisa Gordon and it was a very competent one". - My Favourite Books --My Favourite Books

4,0 su 5 stelle Tasty cocktail of romance, intrigue and mystery
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 maggio 2013
Acquisto verificato
One of the most endearing characters of this novel is its spunky heroine Valda, a young woman on the rebound from a failed relationship and consequent suicide attempt. Desperate to start a new chapter in her life, she leaves South Africa and lands a job as a singer for a band in one of Dubai's big hotels. There she finds favor and patronage from a somewhat dodgy sheikh who eventually manipulates her into transporting a few mysterious packages from Cape Town to Dubai.

After a chance encounter in transit with an attractive geologist launches her on a tentative new love affair, tugging her emotionally in new directions, she soon finds herself wondering exactly where her life is going. Enter ex-pat astrologer Larissa who, over the course of a couple of readings, credibly paints Valda a picture of her destiny and gives her just enough of a glimpse of her future to summon the courage to take more than one great leap of faith.

For readers who enjoy a cocktail of romance, intrigue and mystery set against the exotic locales of Cape Town and Dubai, this could be the perfect beverage. And if you like a twisted lemon peel in your drink, this one has a twist at the end too, but you'll have to read it to discover it.

5,0 su 5 stelle Dubai Dreaming
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 dicembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
The book is a unique blend of chick-lit and thriller in an unusual setting and with an unusual theme at the centre - the concept of sacrificial and compensatory karma. The author revs up the tension with her main character, the singer and wannabe rock star, Valda, who speeds through life in a sequence of emotional car crashes until she washes up on Dubai's shores at the feet of the mysterious Sheikh, who, whilst pretending to be her patron, has his own needs to satisfy. And boy does Valda satisfy them until she realises, when in very deep, that she has predecessors with the same experience. The only problem is she can't consult them because they are all dead - in suspicious circumstances. So what does a resourceful girl do when she needs her fortune telling? She consults an astrologer. Enter Lara, who has a name to come in this book. There are little oases of stillness when the author takes us on leisurely tours of the City State's night spots and its haute cuisine; we rub shoulders with the beautiful and rich but we never travel far from that naqging question of destiny and the price you have to pay to change it. The work builds up to a tense and truly novel conclusion and, if I had a beef, it would be that she takes the ending by storm instead of allowing us to savour it a little more. All in all a cracking debut with some very good stuff going on in there.

4,0 su 5 stelle A fascinating read by a writer who's going from strength to strength
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 giugno 2015

A fascinating story with many twists and turns and good writing. This was the second Lisa Gordon I had read and I must say her writing is going from strength to strength. I found it unputdownable and was disturbed and amazed by the ending. Recommended to anyone who's interested in the arts of divining and fate and life in general. Extraordinary things can happen to outwardly unextraordinary people.

5,0 su 5 stelle Jack Kerouac meets Sydney Sheldon
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 gennaio 2013

I don't know why I chose to buy A Sealed Fate, but I do know I ended up with a book that I now place high on my top all time best books - EVER.
Lisa Gordon is not just a talented writer with an amazing ability to create mind tingling prose. No, in A Sealed Fate she put on a full scale stage production with me sitting front row center. She took me on a whirlwind behind the scenes tour of the glitzy nightlife of Dubai, I tasted the culinary delights of its cafes and experienced the aromas and sounds of its exotic markets. I wondered the backstreets of Cape Town and listened in awe to the Cape Flats' accents and I heard the wind rustle through the palms while watching waves crash on the white sandy beaches with Table Top Mountain hovering in the background.
Gordon painted a portrait of Valda, her lead character that captivated me from the start. Intense, adventurous, somewhat unsure of herself, yet seeking answers to inner questions, Valda set out on a journey that was packed with unknowns. Each page was filled with tempting tidbits that wove a deeper and deeper plot. I found myself leafing back through the pages to see if I was really on track with Valda's intentions or was I being thrown a twist to derail my thoughts.
I bookmarked a number of pages while I was reading this story and I found myself going back several days later and rereading them. This really is one of those stories that you analyze time and time again after you're done. And the ending? No way I saw that coming - simply brilliant.
All in all it was like reading the travels of Jack Kerouac wrapped with the suspense and thrills of Sydney Sheldon.
Lisa Gordon - if you read this review then please...please tell me when you're coming out with your next story - you had me at page one - I'm hooked.

Bad writing, bad story, lack of character development & sloppy, sloppy editing. A total waste of time. Boring, boring, boring.
