Destiny Binds was my favorite of this trilogy, but I loved the second and third almost as much, here are some of my thoughts on Destiny Binds:Destiny Binds by Tammy Blackwell is a young adult urban fantasy tale of werewolves and werecoyotes and the teenage girl caught in the middle of all the secrets woven through her small town. Scout's life is a little strange to begin with, but all and all it's a nice one. Why does she have to get dragged into all the drama when a new pack of shifters move into town and start pissing off the resident pack? Maybe it's not as coincidental as it seems after all....When I was at GenCon in 2012, I had to stop in the author's alley briefly. I was thrilled to get to meet Tammy Blackwell and freaking ecstatic when she handed me a copy of her book, Destiny Binds, to review for her. I'm always a little nervous about new indie authors, since it can be rather hit or miss, but the cover looked so well done and the blurb rather intriguing, that I had to start on the first chapter as soon as I got a break in all my running around. The first sentence reads, "John Davis smells like Play-Doh." Who starts a book like that?? Awesome writers, that's who! Blackwell has a very compelling voice with wonderful descriptions and characters, and I can't recommend this indie author enough!
