There are not enough good novels in the adult paranormal genre.  It is so refreshing to read something of quality and that wasn’t meant for 13-year-old girls.  Taunting Destiny is a must read if you like this genre.  Make sure to read Fighting Destiny first or you’ll be missing a lot.  This is The Fae Chronicle series by Amelia Hutchins.  Props to my book pimp, Mandy, for insisting I read this when I kind of didn’t want to.Ok, down to business.  At the start of Taunting Destiny, Syn had just found out she is something she has spent her whole life hating.  She struggles throughout to come to terms with what she is and balance it with the humanity she has inside of her.  This is made all the more difficult by the still numerous unanswered questions about her identity and destiny.  As if THIS isn’t enough, every turn she takes uncovers more conspiracies, changing her path with every step she takes.  Add in Ryder, a bad ass alpha Fae prince who she doesn’t want to want (but oh WOW on the incredible sex), especially since she knows he is hiding something.  Now we have some very dangerous circumstances.I couldn’t wait to turn the pages to see what happened next, and I found myself biting my nails in anticipation until Syn and Ryder made it through a tough spot, only to stop breathing again when a new obstacle presented itself.  There were some definite heart-wrenching moments throughout, none more so than the cliffhanger at the end.  Normally, I hate books with cliffhangers because I’m an instant gratification kind of person, and I like my nice neat tied with a bow happy endings, and it is so often done on stories that I’ve forgotten about by the time the next installment is released.  However, I really don’t mind the cliffhanger here.  I know I’m not going to forget a moment of this story, and I’m actually excited about coming up with theories on what I think is going to happen next, and even if I’m wrong, I feel confident that Amelia Hutchins is going to steer this in a way that I will love.On an end note, ladies, we need to get the word out on this series.  I could easily imagine this being made into movies, and I would dearly love to take this genre back from the screaming tweens.P.S. To Amelia Hutchins: I love everything faerie, so a huge thank you for bringing them to life in such an amazing way!Read more reviews @ rawbooksonline.com
