Holy Mother! This book was seriously awesome.There may be many reasons I like a book- the world in which it is built, the characters, the story itself, the language and the witty writing. But, when there is a book which falls under all of these categories, then, needless to say I would adore it. The Blood Destiny series is one such series, with excellent world building, strong and believable characters, tight and fast paced story, a mild romance, and importantly, a witty and wonderful language used.For all these and so much more reasons, Helen Harper's Blood Destiny series continues to be one of the most wonderful series I've read so far. Just like the previous book, this book continues to be action-packed and fun. Mack is a totally badass heroine, with a snarky and sassy speech, fiery temper, loyal disposition, and an ability to get into a lot of trouble all on her own.Mack shifts for the first time in the previous book. Now that some of the four major factions( Mages, Shifters, Fae and Vampires) know who she really is, she is being constantly followed by representatives from three factions. Enough to make a girl(or a Draco Wyr) go mad. And then, she is attacked by a vampire. When a dryad and Balus(the Otherworld weapon maker) request for her help in two seemingly very different problems, Mackenzie Smith agrees to help them. After all, the problems seem simple enough. But, soon Mack realizes that the two are interconnected, and that the villain has even more evil machinations at work. Mack has to keep her wits about her and control her sassiness , a hard thing to do, especially with her increasing attraction to , Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the Brethren.I am a fan of good word-building, which is one of the main reasons I loved this book. A lot. Ms. Harper uses just the right words to make the story filled with the right amount of sarcasm, wit and seriousness. And the slightly satirical tilt of the writing helps too. Um, I'll stop now before I start spewing any more nonsense on this.It would be unfair if I don't mention that ending here. Arrghh. NOOOOOO. Excuse me while I go bawl in a corner like a child. Talk about a major cliffhanger! Now I'll just have to read the next(and last! sob!) book immediately to know what happens.If you haven't read this book, or haven't begun this series, all I can say is, what are you doing yet? GO READ THIS BOOK. NOW.
