Fighting Destiny(The Fae Chronicles #1)

Synopsis Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae - beautiful, magical, and deadly creatures that have a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?

Welcome to my world.

What started out as a strange assignment, lead to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times. My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.

Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae...every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.

My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface – not even me.

Taunting Destiny(The Fae Chronicles #2)
MY REVIEW



Synopsis
I thought things were bad and weird before – hold on – it’s getting worse.

Adam and I are both going through identity crises of epic proportions as we Transition from who we were, and discover who we were meant to be. More Fae are dying, and I feel as if time is running out for us to find all of those responsible and put an end to the killings.

The people I thought I could trust have betrayed me and the one person I should absolutely not trust; is taking me deeper and deeper into his world.

Ryder’s secrets are dangerous and devastating.

With each touch and word, he pulls my heart closer to himself and at the same time he is trying to keep me at arm’s length. The dance he and I have begun, is getting more complicated as our worlds are being shaken from all sides, and the visions of the future are frightening, and nothing like I had ever pictured for myself or those I care for.

This time, destiny is taunting me.

I had always thought that I controlled my destiny. Now, my rights are being taken from me by powerful people and leaving me with alternatives that range between bad and awful.

This time, the choices I have to make can decide the fate of both worlds.

Everything is unraveling, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Excerpt 

The music started, even as the butterflies played with my insides, his eyes locked with mine as the song started up slowly. David Cook's The Time Of My Life came on, the music filling the room around us.  I stumbled when he moved, and started to apologize until I caught the smile on his lips.  "I can't dance, Ryder.  You never said anything about dancing when I signed the contract."
"Take off your shoes," he countered, already releasing me and bending over to take his own footwear off.  I watched him as others did the same and eventually I ignored the brilliant blush that crept up to my cheeks and did the same, stepping out of the borrowed strappy heels.  
Ryder smiled, and I stared at him, he was shockingly beautiful and ethereal.  Like a lion, you wanted to touch him, but knew by doing so he'd consume you, body and soul.  I swallowed and held my hand up for him to take it.
"Put your feet on mine, Synthia," he said quietly, aware that everyone was watching us.  
I exhaled and obeyed him, knowing his men were watching us, as well as my coven.  When the song restarted, he carried us both, his hand once again on the small of my back.  Rubbing it softly as his fingers settled against it.  My heart raced from his touch, the deep desire in his eyes made it flip-flop as he swept me around the room until everyone else faded away, leaving us alone inside the room.  
I smiled as I looked down to see our feet together. Nervous at being so close to him and doing something I had only ever done with my father. It had been the last thing we’d ever done together.  But with Ryder, it was intimate, sending heat flooding through me.  I looked back up, with the smile still in place, to catch him staring openly in wonder at me.  "What?" I asked growing self-conscious.  
"You’re very beautiful, Synthia," he whispered tenderly.

Guest Post

What inspired you to write Fae chronicles?
I’d have to say it started with my Grandmother, she would tell us stories when I and my siblings were young. When we got a little older, she had us help tell the stories. When we got old enough, we told her the stories in our own version. Of course mine always had a boy and girl, and even though they began with boy germs…they eventually evolved into romance. I've always been a sucker for a happy ending, but I was always wrapped up in how they got to it. I’m also a sucker for an ending I can’t see coming, so I make sure my fans can’t guess it either.

Do any of the characters you created share your personality traits, habits or anything similar to you?

Hmm, well, I’m obsessed with nail polish, and I honestly can’t write unless my toes are painted. Insane, I know, but really, even if I can’t see them, they have to be painted. I am not a human unless you add coffee, I speak zombie fluently until the third cup. I share these traits with Synthia. I’m sarcastic, and I think I’m witty; my husband calls it being a smartass. I am very loyal, and will cut my own nose off to help people, but I believe in karma, and I also love to help people. Syn also has these…they also say that writers end up adding traits into their characters without knowing it. Guilty.
