I think that the premise for Destiny Unhinged was good. Kimber Shook took the girl trying to choose between two boys scenario and added some extra elements. Instead of vampires and werewolves we have an alien king and what we assume is a human boy (I have my doubts).Vanessa was an interesting girl. She seemed a little flighty but I guess who wouldn't be with two guys trying to make them their destiny, right? Sometimes she was super spunky and told them just how she felt. She was quick to forgive and mostly easy going though.Max was a bit overwhelming. He just popped in whenever he wanted and took over. It made him a little unlikable. Then you have Toby who seems to have a lot of secrets as the book goes on. It sure made it tough to pick a team to root for. I have my doubts about Toby and his family, I think, in the next book a lot of light will be shown on who they truly are.I struggled with this book. I think my biggest issue was the present tense. It just really isn't how I personally like my books. That isn't to say that others who like writing in present tense won't enjoy this book. This book just wasn't my style.I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
