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.”

  Excerpt

‘Nooooooo,’ I howl, but there is gravel or grave soil in my throat, and nothing other than an ugly, dried-up rasp travels out of my mouth. My head shakes back and forth like a mindless wind-up toy. Even my body is denying the horror before my eyes. Without warning my knees buckle under me, and I find myself in a heap at the doorway of his flat. Frantically, I begin to crawl toward him, screaming, babbling.

I can’t lose him! Not him! Oh God, not him. Please. Not him.

Two feet away from his body and it occurs to me: this is just a nightmare. Of course it is. It has to be. Any moment now I’ll wake up. And the first thing I’ll do? Call him and tell him how much I have missed him, how much I love him.

I feel the floor scrape against my bare knees. It isn’t a nightmare. It is real.

We haven’t spoken for two weeks. I had exams and when I called his mobile, it went straight to voicemail… Shit excuse. I should have called again, I should have emailed. Why hadn’t I? I should have known.

I hunker down over his body, my pose ungainly, heavy, that of a suffering beast. My buttocks hit the floor and my legs fold up and cross under me. I press my fingers against my open mouth and stare at him. His lips and fingers are blue and the rest of him is ashen and still. He can’t be dead.

It can’t be real!

The stillness of a dead body is impossible to describe. And yet when you see it you refuse to believe it. You always think it is a trick. A mistake. A ploy… But a needle is embedded in his arm, which is blackened with the skin stretched and unreal. It looks as if it belongs elsewhere. That is not my brother’s arm. I know my brother’s arm as intimately as I know my own.

My breathing is shallow and trembling. I suck a huge burst of air into my lungs and pull the offending needle out. My stomach twists. It should never have entered his body in the first place. I throw the syringe away. It hits something and rolls on the wooden floor. It also leaves a tiny hole in my brother’s flesh that does not bleed. I swallow hard. My hands are shaking badly.

That means he didn’t suffer, a voice whispers in my head. He did not even have time to pull it out before he was gone to wherever it is he went to.

Oh God! He is nineteen. He can’t be gone.

CPR. I should give him CPR. There must be something I can still do. I grab his shoulders and try to drag him across my thighs, but his body is so heavy, so cold, and so stiff and foreign that my shocked hands fly away from his shoulders as if they have touched fire. I gaze at him as he lies unmoving. The blood that ran without rest during his short life has stilled within his veins. Everything has cooled and hardened. He is like a piece of wood.

With a sob of intolerable, indescribable anguish I reach for him and with every ounce of my might I drag his cold, dead weight toward me and lift it onto my lap. I touch the soft brown hair that flops across his forehead and it feels different. His scalp has hardened and changed the lie of his hair. I caress his hair, his face, his hands. Holding his head pressed against my stomach I close my eyes and begin to rock him the way a mother would comfort her distressed baby.

But there is no comfort—his head is a hard, unfamiliar weight and the action produces an odd thud made by his stiff hand repeatedly hitting the floor. I stop. In a daze I look down on his face.

His mouth is open, the tongue—a strange, dull color—is pushed against his teeth. Without the healthy sheen of saliva it looks gross. I try to close his mouth, but it is locked open. His eyes are not fully shut and through the slits I see the whites. I try to lift a lid to see once more the beautiful blue eyes I have known all my life.

If I could at least see that.

But his eyelids are glued shut. They will not budge. Tremors shoot through my hand as I still the gruesome desire to force his eyelid open. When we were young we used to lick the salt from each other’s skin. I am suddenly filled with the strange desire to lick his skin.

I put one hand under his head and the other under his neck and I put his head on the floor. Then I scoot backwards until I am on my hands and knees and my face is hovering inches away from his. My head moves downwards. My tongue comes out. Inches away a voice in my head urgently cries, ‘No.’

I stop and listen to peculiar silence around us. It is quieter than falling snow. On the table top I notice his fingerprints in the light layer of dust, and then something weird happens. For a second I clearly perceive myself not from inside my body but from outside, crouched over my dead brother, more animal than human. I recoil from the sight. And then the moment is gone and I lower my head and lick the last salt on the corpse’s skin.

It is the beginning of my descent into an unfamiliar territory. A place you might call madness.

I’m afraid my stay was excruciatingly long.

Review: Dragon Bound (Elder Races #1) by Thea Harrison

Synopsis

Half-human and half-Wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the Wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful—and passionate—of the Elder Races.

As the most feared and respected of the Wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they've ignited in each other.

Pia knows she must repay Dragos for her trespass, but refuses to become his slave—although she cannot deny wanting him, body and soul.

My Review

5 Awesome Stars!!

Omg why have I not seen this book before? This is exactly what I needed to back into the reading mode. Since the start of January I have been in a book funk and it has been killing me.So here is to the first 5 star read of 2015.YAYY!!

It's been a while since I have read paranormal, I was getting sick of contemporary romance/erotica that I have been reading and really needed a change I was supposed to start a thriller but when I saw this one whilst browsing through GoodReads I just had to buy it and start straight away.And I'm so glad I did.I could not but this down, I inhaled this book. Who needs sleep? Not me!

“I am cursed with a terminal case of curiosity," he said. "I am jealous, selfish, acquisitive, territorial and possessive. I have a terrible temper, and I know I can be a cruel son of a bitch." He cocked his head. "I used to eat people, you know.”

So the main male character is a dragon.Yes that's right.A frikin Dragon. I thought that I would find him..meh the whole dragon thing I haven't really read about but omg I loved Dragos. Come on, look at that quote, of course I would love him! And I really like the main female character who is called Pia. She is strong, funny and they were so perfect for each other. I'm disappointed that Pia and Dragos's story doesn't continue, or maybe it does but the next book isn't about them! I thought they would stay main characters throughout the series :( But hey I still want to read on and find out more because I did really like the supporting characters.Can't wait to find out their story.

“A dragon just gave me a piece of jewelry,” she said. She took another swig and handed the bottle back to Graydon. “Have I been added to his hoard?”

He shook his head and drank too. “No, cupcake,” he said. “I’m pretty sure you’ve replaced it.” .

This is a well written book which will take you to a place you won't want to return from.On an adventure you didn't know you needed until you start this book. I need more books like this one! I would recommend this to every Paranormal lover :D
