Review: Destiny Bewitched by Leia Shaw


Destiny Bewitched
by Leia Shaw
(Shadows of Destiny # 4)

Do you know what the formula for grabbing my attention is?  A sexy demon (that is not really a demon) with cute, strockable horns *grins* that is also very alpha + a witch with a lot of heart and strong even though her powers are not at her best levels and all with good sense of humor.

I've enjoyed every story I've read in this series, but this is probably my favorite so far.  Samantha goes into the Underworld to rescue her sister Nikki.  Coming from a family of witches, and having her dad owe a debt to the organizer of the sort of Underworld Games.  But Nikki doesn't have any powers and Samantha now did the unthinkable and went into the Underworld by herself to save her.

Good thing for her she runs into Geo.  He's been paying a sentence for almost 200 years as a demon, but he is really from the God Realm.  He tries to stay out of everyone's way in the Underworld but now he decides to help Samantha get to the Games if she puts in a good word with Gaia so maybe he can finally be free.

They have to go through some crazy adventures to get there and then once they are there they still have to go through more adventures to rescue her sister.  But they also have to deal with their attraction. And Geo is one sexy ass demon (not demon)

Review + Giveaway: Destiny Unchained by Leia Shaw

Destiny Unchained
by Leia Shaw
(Shadows of Destiny # 3)

I was pleasantly surprised with this story.  Having read the previous one and thinking we were going to get a bit more of the Underworld politics and relations with the fae, it came as a shock that the main characters for this story are a lone vampire assassin, Natalia, who is a pretty kick ass chick and has lived with a resentment towards werewolves because her own mate was one and the pack turned against her (many many moons ago).  The hero?  A sexy and open minded Alpha werewolf who likes to and is skilled at using rope ;)

She's in his territory hunting a rogue werewolf killer who is actually besting her at every chance he gets.  She needs Cristian's help.  Even though she hates to admit it.

Both the hero and heroine in this story were very likeable.  No stupid moments, plenty of funny banter and who can resist an alpha that, even though he's going against pack logic, wants a vampire!

The story was also interesting with the werewolf killer .  We only get to see the Queen of the Underworld and the mention of the fae towards the end so now I'm curious to see if that's the route we'll see in the next book.

I definitely recommend this series.  They're not extremely long but they pack all the story you need, lots of hotness and humor, and all with great writing!

Review + Giveaway: Destiny United by Leia Shaw


3.5 Feathers
Destiny United
by Leia Shaw
(Shadows of Destiny # 2)
Paranormal Romance

This was my first book by this author. I really started it without any expectations, and a little scared that I would be lost because I didn't read the first one. But it started off really interesting and definitely caught my attention.

Maybe this has something to do with Marcelo, because, well, he's hot and has that bad boy thing going on. Caring and sexy. He is sent to bring the Queen's sister, her human sister, to the Underworld.

But werewolves are after Erin, so instead of just a quick pick-up and drop-off mission, he ends up protecting her until he can get her to her family safe.

Erin on the other hand was a bit annoying. I was very happy to see that she realized that she WAS the "Too-Stupid-To-Live" heroine in the story! But I get it, she's had a traumatic past. She was abused, and that always is a touchy subject to deal with in novels.

But to my surprise, when Erin turns 21, which just happens to be while they're running from the wolves, she changes. Turns out she's fae. Yes, pointy ears and everything. And her fae people also want her to come be with them. So she has a tough decision to make. Where does she want to be? And with whom?
