A small town belonging left her city at the age of 18 and gave her career a new direction and now she works at a top Biotech company.

Everything was on track in her life but something happened between Jamie and her boss cum lover that changed Jamie's life, Lost her job and boyfriend with whom she was in a relationship for the last five long years.

I’m really curious to continue this story in the following books, where we’re definitely going to be finding out more about the magical aspect of this story. The premises were very interesting.

At 18, Jamie feels smothered and flees her home town. She cuts all ties to her life and friends in order to make a fresh start.

Seven years later, with her career and relationship is in tatters Jamie realizes that the world is not as she hoped. She ultimately decides to return home and face those she left behind.
Wren is a ruggedly handsome park ranger, who happens to met Jaime at the local Coffee shop. She feels an immediate magnetic connection to him but yet he seems stand-offish.
Strange thing start to happen in the surrounding forest and Jamie soon realizes that the town and townsfolk are hiding a secret and she might be involved in the solution.

This book is a wonderful yet suspenseful paranormal shifter romance. The love triangle is complicated. Jamie is attracted to two men - Liam, the one who hurt her before and Wren, the mysterious park ranger with who she has this magnetic bond. I don’t mind having such tortuous relationships, but I have to say that I had some conflicting feelings in regards to how easily Jamie flip flops between Liam and Wren.

Another fantastic thing in this book is the small town setting with the description of the surrounding areas. I absolutely adore this and was captivated by the descriptive narrative of the trails and snow capped mountains framing the town.

This fast paced story is filled with mystery, secrets and suspense. I am looking forward to reading book 2 of this series ...

I recieved an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

DD Larsen is back with a brand new series! I adored her books and couldnt get over this new one. The first book in the series and it is very captivating! Shifters, a very cute and charming love story and love triangle, an intriguing prophecy and tons of mysteries! It have a bit of a twilight vibe but very engaging and provocative. I can't wait for Book 2!⁣

. I loved the writing style how it was a smooth story that had wonderful character development. The mysterious elements in the plot and the secrets woven in really added to my enjoyment. If you love a book full of strong friendships, secrets, love, family ties, Steam and magical elements I highly suggest picking this one up.

I was immediately sucked into Destiny and quickly devoured this page turner. In Destiny we follow Jamie as she leaves a big city, her job and a man she thought she loved to return to her hometown. The only problem is when she left she never turned back. Jamie knows she will have to face her best friend and ex boyfriend who she didn't give an explanation to when she left. Jamie is loving being back and is questioning why she stayed away for so long. She lands a part time job and becomes interested in the mysterious man named Wren who she has an electric connection to. Stange things start happening in the forest again that brings up memories of her brothers tragic accident, but Wren always seems to pop up and save her just in time.
