| A Broken Destiny Novel Book 1 |
In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.
Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…

My Review: 3/5 Stars
Jeaniene Frost has become one of my favorite authors. And though I loved her Night Huntress Universe books, I will say that this first Broken Destiny novel is not as good as those. However! That is not to say this book wasn't good. I really enjoyed reading this one and I think that the next two in the series will be better than this one, now that the story is set. I don't think it will be as rushed, like this one at times felt like. Nevertheless, I really like the concept of this story and the myths that were created for it. It was very clever and different. This book follows Ivy, as she realizes that the visions she has always seen doesn't mean she is crazy, she is just seeing other very real realms. Her sister is missing and she is determined to find her. This brings her to Adrian, who clues her in on the supernatural of the world and what her visions mean. Adrian was such a great character. He believes he is destined to betray Ivy and is determined for it not to happen. They work together to find a weapon that will defeat the demons that hold Ivy's sister and destroy any chance of Adrian fulfilling the destiny everyone believes he has. Meanwhile, there is a growing attraction between Ivy and Adrian, that Adrian tries very hard to push away because he knows that the more attached they become to one another, the more likely a betrayal will happen. Great book. Looking forward to seeing how it will play out!
