Review: Seducing Destiny (The Fae Chronicles #4) by Amelia Hutchins

Book 1- Fighting Destiny- My Review

Book 2-Taunting Destiny - My Review

Book 3- Escaping Destiny- My Review

Synopsis
Less than six months ago my life was twisted and flipped on its side. Things have changed so much I barely recognize myself anymore. 

I am no longer an Enforcer. 

I am no longer a Witch. 

I no longer hate the Fae. (For the most part) 

And the sex-on-a-stick-gorgeous-Fae? He isn't really the Dark Prince. 

No, he is the father of my children and with the babies on the way, the land dying and the Mages closing in; alliances will have to be formed if we are all to make it through the war that is coming to our front door.

Between warring Gods and Goddesses, how are any of us supposed to win?

My Review

3.5 Stars!!

Before I start if you are reading this and haven't read the other books in this series please don't let this review or rating stop you because I absolutely loved all the previous books in this series. Like seriously they are awesome! So stop reading this review and go grab fighting destiny!

“I’ll spend eternity loving you, Synthia. And tormenting you in my bed, until you admit who your master is,” he finished.

“I have no master,” I whispered sleepily. “I’ll have a husband soon, and the love of my life. No master though,” I continued.

“I guess we’re not done here,” he replied roguishly.

I have been patiently waiting for this book and I was so excited when it was finally released. I needed my Ryder fix and I adore most the characters in this series, Ristan and the brother rock.I hear they are getting their own books which I will definitely be looking forward to reading. I was pretty disappointed with this one, I really wanted to love it like the rest but I just didn't feel the same as when I was reading the previous books. I think it may have been that too much was going on or the parts where it slowed down and I didn't feel like I was fully connected to the story.

The babies were adorable and I wanted there to be more just Syn, Ryder and the babies scenes.I don't know how to write this review to be honest.

Oh and Ristan's change broke my bloody heart!! Nooo not be awesome funny demon :( There are so many parts of this book so many stories intertwined and I want to kind of know everything all at once but my brain is like uhm no I don't think so!

”I knew I loved him, but love wasn’t strong enough to seduce destiny into giving us what we wanted. Danu kept telling me that destiny had to be won, that I wasn’t just born to it, and that I had to fight to get it.”

You see a totally different softer side to Ryder and how big events effect him. Aww Ryder! I liked him when he was a bit of an arsehole but he still has his dirty mouth ;) I was left wondering about different characters lives in this book. Usually the main focus is on Syn, Ryder and Ristan..well that's what I see but when this book finished I was left wondering about other characters and trying to see how their book would go, who are they really? whose head I'd like to be in.

Overall I still love this author for giving me these awesome Fae and this series! I won't give up on it, I will still be reading the last book and any other book Amelia releases. I hope you still give this one a chance you may love it ;)

”Forever will never be long enough with you.”

Release Blitz: Darkest Before Dawn (A Guardian's Diary Book 1) By Amelia Hutchins

Synopsis

Going through an apocalyptic event doesn't mean the end of the world. 

My dad is a modern day Noah, you know building an ark, trying to save folks and getting my brother, and I ready for the impending end of days – whatever that means. 

Nothing in his prepper manuals had us ready for what actually happened. 

I had nothing to prepare me for Jaeden and Lachlan. Heck, I don’t know of any girl that would have been prepared for those two.

There was nothing to prepare us for the things that go bump in the night or zombies, although now that I think on it, zombies might have been easier to deal with than what really happened. No, an apocalyptic event is just a set-up for things in our world to be shaken AND stirred. 

What will rise from the ruins remains to be seen.

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.

My Review

5 Mind-blowing,Omg-how-do-I-live-after-this, I-am-an-emotional-mess Stars!!

What a bloody ending! Why oh whyyyy do you do this to us Amelia?

My emotions were bloody everywhere I cant believe it! No no no no this is not happening and then I was screaming for Ryder in my head..Where the fuck are you fairy!! Damn Damn I really need the next book like yesterday.

This book is just brilliant I thought the first book Fighting Destiny was awesome and thought no way can you beat that. I didn't know what to expect but wow this book did not disappoint.

If you are looking for a fast-paced, fantasy, brilliant, captivating book with twists and turns and much more you better go grab book one and jump on the Ryder train ;)

Okay if you didn't already know I LOVE RYDER he is mine you lot can have Adam ;) hehe

Oh Ryder ,Ryder I already miss you *sobs* I thought I loved him in book one , well in this book we have gone beyond love its just so much more!

Syn and Ryder are just so perfect for each other, they made me laugh, sob, scream out in frustration and swoon!

"Scared Syn?" he whispered back as his eyes changed from gold to burnt amber.He was hungry, and was making me wet with need.

"To be with you? Yes."I admitted it, which only made him smile. "You scare the shit out of me Ryder, is this what you wanted to hear?"

The story continues from where it left off and you are left questioning whether Ryder is evil or good. Both Syn and Adam are going through transition and it all gets worse more people are dying, the past ghosts are coming back to haunt them..what will happen when everything comes crashing down? Will Ryder be able to save Syn or will he let her go?

Syn is fearless, selfless, kickass, strong warrior and she is just as stubborn as Ryder. Oh man they are perfect when will they have a happily ever after? WHEN?!!? They both need some love, they are both lonely and need each other but yeah back to them both being stubborn idiots well they cant admit to each other how they feel.I loved that we got a mixture of POVs even though some were small we even got a glimpse into Adams head..okay a part of me really wanted to hate him because of the events happening (those who have read it will know what I mean) and I know its not his fault just a crappy situation but ahhhh I wanted to toss my book and scream and pull my hair out how could it have all gotten so bent out of shape? and then the ending I was like..lets rewind back to the other situation I liked that better haha!

I loved that there was some parts in Ryders POV because he is so bloody interesting and a mystery! What is he? TELL ME!!! Urgh I need to know his secrets it's driving me insane! I wanted the book to be half Syn's POV and half Ryder's but I think it would kill all the mystery that Ryder's character entails, I thought all would be revealed in this book but it wasn't the case sooo book 3..please be out soon!!

Oh and did anyone else love Ristan as much as I did? omg he made me laugh the pervy hilarious Demon! Haha

"Can I ask you something..err..well, can I ask you something that's a little uncomfortable Ristan?"..

"Uncomfortable how, flower?"

His eyes lit up with mischief.

"Are we speaking toys and nipple clamps kind of uncomfortable, because I am an expert with that shit, or are we speaking your vagigi uncomfortable? I'm game to look at it, play with it.Hell, Flower I'm pretty much open to it all.Lay it out on me." He smirked and his eyes laughed at me.

"No, this has nothing to do with that..

MENTAL NOTE: Ristan was a freak!

Hahah yes yes he is a freak! An adorable freak.

Overall I bloody loved this book I just could not put it down, every time I did the little voice in my head said "Just keep reading, just keep reading" I am weak!!

Amelia please hurry with book 3..I need my Ryder fix!!

When I started this book I was like..

Ryder I am ready for you!!

When I finished it..

My Review

4.5 Hot, Ryder-Loving, Fast-Paced, Fantastic Stars!!

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?

Synthia (Syn) is a witch and she hates the Fae due to witnessing her parent be being killed by them..does that make them all evil?

Can she judge them based on what a couple of them did to her parents?

"It was why they were considered the most deadly of the Otherworld.They could make you like it as they fucked you to death.."

The book starts out where Syn meets the Prince of the Dark Fae who wants Syn to work for him, he wants her to pose as a decoy for the dark prince of the fae Ryder's fiancée because he thinks her life is under threat..

After signing a contract and handing herself over to the Dark Fae things begin to get more complicated..Witches and Faes are being slaughtered and their body parts have been removed..

What are they doing with the body parts they are collecting?

Can Syn and Ryder find the killer and stop the murders?

"..I was reckless and a loose cannon.Okay that was a little harsh.I wasn't a loose cannon-I just didn't take shit from anyone"

Okay so when I got this book I had forgotten what it was about when I check it out on goodreads I was like..whatt? What the hell fairies and shit? Will I even enjoy this?

The answer was hell yeah !

At the starting I was thinking hmmm what am I getting myself into?

And then you meet Ryder..

"His eyes smiled mischievously as if he was commanding me to do so.Heat flowed through me, his hands offered more support as my legs trembled once more with the need to come...His soul was fucking me from the inside and it was intensely seductive and powerful"

Ryder..Ryder ahh what can I say..he bloody has me hooked, hot alpha male and so damn mysterious.

There is something off about him he is hiding things but what are they? Oh how I would love to jump into his head and find out!

Is he evil or is he the good guy?

Give me the next book right now and I will tell you!

Urgh how I hate waiting..

I loved Syn and Ryder's love/hate relationship it was fun and hot!

I really liked Syn's character yes yes she is a badass! She is a perfect fit for Ryder, she challenges him at each turn..

Cant wait to find out what will happen between them in book 2!

Why did no-one tell me it ends on a cliffhanger?!!?

ahhhhhhhhhhhh the ending was like fuckkkkkk wtf is going on!! :O :O

"Never challenge me.I promise that you will lose.Every.Fucking.Time"

Guest Post: What inspired you to write this book?

I actually had the idea of this book in my head for almost seven years. I had started a few books for this one, and ended up trashing them because it wasn't perfect. After Ryder finally growled enough inside my head, I gave up and wrote his story. Nothing actually inspired it, so much as Ryder growling that it was time for me to get serious and give and Syn their story.
