A Witch´s Destiny by Leigh Ann Edwards is filled with twits and turns that keeps us waiting until the end. It´s an amazing story and an even more amazing series.
I have so loved reading all the books in "The Irish Witch Series".
There are 7 books in this series. They are:
The Farrier's Daughter
The Witch's Daughter
The Chieftain's Daughter
A Chieftain's Wife
A Witch's Life
A Witch's Quest
A Witch's Destiny

Unfortunately this series seemed to lose its way and this is much of the same as the previous books in the series.
Although an easy read with a few twists this seemed to me very like the previous novels.
A disappointing ending to a series.

I was carried away from the wonderful fantasy of it all!

A Witch’s Destiny is the seventh and final exciting installment in Leigh Ann Edwards’ the Irish Witch series. In my opinion, it also sports the loveliest cover in the series. The series is a magical romantic fantasy saga set in sixteenth century Ireland featuring witches, a swoony hero, an evil curse, Celtic gods, spirits, demons, fairies and a colorful chorus of other super naturals.

This is a series that should be read in order. Each installment has incrementally built towards the coming final battle between good and evil. The author does fill in the basics of what has transpired previously, but I cannot imagine not reading this series sequentially.

This book picks up where the previous book, A Witch’s Quest, left off. Unfortunately, the previous book bogged down in England and that arc continued during the first part of this segment. Thankfully, the slowness regarding the couple’s sojourn in England and the evil child was short-lived herein and the magic, fantasy and romance that made me fall in love with this series moved to the forefront in short order.

As the last book in this series, there is much recollection of Alainn’s and Killain’s life that has transpired over the series. I found those flashbacks to be refreshing and not boring in the least. As this tale opens, Alainn and Killain are embarking on a dangerous quest to find their fathers as Alainn believes that they may hold the answers they need. Along the way, the couple will confront evil, cavort with the gods, make new friends, enjoy sexy times AND provide many laugh-out-loud moments! I laughed, mourned, swooned, and was carried away in the fantasy of it all. When I think back to the first book when we first met Alainn and Killain as children and to everything that has taken place since, I’m blown away by it all. It makes me want to go back and relive their highly entertaining, but perilous journey all over again.

Following please find a few of my favorite lines from A Witch’s Destiny:

“So, we are searching for some form of difficult, uncooperative creature that apparently can change shapes and does not wish to be found?”
---

“How do magical beings celebrate?” Killian was curious to know.
“Music, food, wine, ale, dancing, frivolity, and merriment in many forms.” Lugh grinned again.
“So entirely the same as in the human realm?” Killian smiled back at the god.
“Well, with a bit of magic thrown in for good measure.”
---

Always life would bring with it joy and sorrow combined. To allow herself to love and to love well, she opened her heart to loss, but to live without love would truly be no life at all. Alainn was well aware with any great love there would be great loss. It was both the cost and the reward of loving.
---

“Killian, have I nearly killed you?” she whispered as she lay beside him and her lips kissed his ear.
“No, but when I do die, I would ask that you make certain it is you who takes my life in just such a manner,” he said in a breathless fashion.

There were so many scenes that stood out, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the one where Alainn meets the trow. I couldn’t stop laughing as Alainn engaged in a lively discourse with the creature. I especially loved the hilarity over a certain male appendage.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading this wonderful, fun and addictive drama set in enchanting and often devious locales. I was surprised and thrilled to find that this book ended with a semi-cliffhanger which unexpectedly sets up a sequel series for Alainn, Killain and Danhoul. So, happily, their story is not finished and will continue in the future! I can’t wait to accompany them on their next sure-to-be lively and treacherous adventure as they fight the terrible evil that endangers the world!

First book I have read by this author and first book in the series. Good characters, description and setting from Ireland to Scotland. Will have to look up the rest of the series.

Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

This entire series has been an adventure. Following the trials and joys of Alainn, Killian and Danhoul have been an emotional roller coaster ride. Every enemy faced with courage and valour, not caring for her safety with Killian and Danhoul fighting side by side. The losses and tears, the discoveries of families and destiny, all come together in this concluding instalment of the Irish Witch series. I have enjoyed it immensely and look forward to the quests of the other two witches who will ultimately band together to fight the evil that endangers the world.

A Witch’s Destiny by Leigh Ann Edwards
Beautiful, strong-willed Alainn O’Brien believes her elusive father is the only person who can rescue her from a dangerous predicament. Alainn and her husband Killian follow her clairvoyant intuition and embark on a journey to Scotland. They meet numerous magical beings, spirits, gods, and people on the side of both benevolence and darkness as they search for the one person who holds the key to their futures.
Set in mystical sixteenth century Ireland, A Witch’s Destiny, the final enthralling installment in this original portion of The Irish Witch Series, promises to captivate readers with unexpected twists and turns and reveals several emotional truths and secrets they have long been waiting to learn.
this is Alainn O’Brien and her husband Killian O’Brien’s story.
As she stared down at the churning water beneath the ship, Alainn O’Brien’s stomach began to grow steadily queasier and her head became overwhelmingly dizzy. She slowly lowered herself to a sitting position and searched for the herbal potion within the pocket of her frock. Placing it to her lips, she drank a hearty quantity and prayed it would prove even minimally beneficial. She was ever thankful her husband, Killian, was occupied with speaking to the ship’s captain at the moment. He would be filled with concern if he suspected she was in such a dire squeamish state.
She glanced over to where he stood and her heart soared with her complete love and adoration for him.
Killian was of noble blood, the chieftain’s nephew and promised to another. But she and Killian had fought endlessly for their deep love, and they’d been married when they’d once believed it was nothing but a fanciful dream.
They had fallen in love when it was completely forbidden for it was believed they were of different stations.
Killian had started to walk toward her and Alainn placed her hand to her head as she stood, in hope of dispersing the constant dizziness.
A Witch’s Destiny by Leigh Ann Edwards is a 3 star book.

No, THIS is my favourite book in this series! (Originally I thought it was book 6 but I was wrong). What an ending to an addictive, fantasy adventure with lashings of escapist romance. Thoroughly enjoyable. There aren’t many series I can get through seven books of without finding a serious flaw or feeling that the series should have ended already (I’m only on the 4th Outlander novel for instance) but the Irish Witch series has been brilliant. Sad to see it end but it was time for Aliann and Killian to finally triumph. Great stuff.

A Witch's Destiny is the final book in Leigh Ann Edwards’ Irish Witch Series. This has been a highly entertaining and addictive series that I am sad to see end. However, it was time to see this couple find some peace in their lives. It has been one treacherous journey for the Aliann and Killian that began when they were children. This is a series that is best read in order for that reason. Many mystical characters show up to help Aliann from past events. I guess you could enjoy this story without knowing the details of all of those times, but it would certainly enhance the enjoyment of this one if you had. In fact, I oved seeing how it all came together in this book. The ending was excellent especially because it was unforeseen by me.

There are not many characters that has fostered jealous in me. However, Leigh Ann Edwards has done so with the character, Aliann. Without a doubt, I am a bit envious of Alainn O’Brien not because she has found her true love, though Killian is handsome, strong and courageous but because of her ability to rewind time. Wouldn’t we all appreciate the skill to go backward and change the course of some actions in our lives?

If one needs a bit of magical, mystery drama and the hope of a better future in their lives this is the series with which to escape. Recommend to all.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
