Disclaimer: A complementary copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.Escaping Destiny, book three of the Fae Chronicles, just blew my mind.In order to understand what went on with Escaping Destiny, you will need to read the first two books, Fighting Destiny and Taunting Destiny first as Escaping Destiny picks up immediately from where Taunting Destiny ended.Synthia finds out she is an Heir, and a member of one of the castes of beings who inhabit the land called Faery. She is "gifted" to the Horde King as settlement to an agreement her father, the Blood King, agreed to. Torn between fulfilling her family's obligation and her need to be with one person she wants she struggles to submit to the Horde King's demands and prays that her savior, Ryder, will swoop in to take her away. Yet everything is not what it seems to be. And the first three chapters had me gaping.There is so much going on with this book - so much so that, if asked, I would have given the book the title Revealing Destiny. Relationships are not what they seem to be, and slowly but surely, Syn finds herself loving the land the people she once vowed to hate and eradicate, in spite of the jealous, petty fights and the score of women who are after her man.There are many things I loved with this series. I truly relish and enjoy the banter and friendship between the Demon and Synthia, the brotherhood that the Fae Elite Guard has with their King. The repartee between Ristan and Synthia had me grinning each time they interacted. Synthia comes to her own in this book, and Ryder is slowly realizing that she is more than what she appears to be.Technically, the book could vastly improve with the use of a strong red pen. The book is not technically flawless. Commas appeared where they should not be. Some words were mis-spelled; possessive pronouns were mis-used. Correct sentence construction and syntax help build up the anticipation of action and emotions. I know that Amelia works so hard to get a book out in our hot little hands as we are demanding readers who can't wait. But I for one,  would rather wait a few weeks while the editing is done, re-writes are completed to get a polished book in my hand.The technical problems were distracting at first, but I strongly urge you to push past that. Push pass all that, and enjoy the story - for the story, the twists and turns and the surprises are all worth it. And oh, the love scenes? They are hot hot hot! There is one chapter in particular that just generates so much heat. Trust me. If not for the technical issues, this book would have rated 5 stars. It has hot sexy scenes, a plot that has twists and turns, a strong independent kind hearted and fair heroine, and a dominant strong willed loyal hero.Don't hesitate. Go grab your copy today. Meanwhile, I plan to re-read all three books while waiting for book 4.
