Escaping Destiny was an incredible continuation to the Fae Chronicles series.  I am in awe of Amelia Hutchins’ writing style.  If you haven’t read the first two in this series, Fighting Destiny and Taunting Destiny, you need to go do it, like right now.  If you have, then you already know how sexy Ryder is and how hot and steamy it gets between Synthia and him.  So, as much as I want to squee and gush all about them, I will refrain.  Just know that this one is as sexy as the warning in the beginning alludes to.Down to business time.  I thought I was going to explode after the cliffhanger in Taunting Destiny.  I think I asked Mandy at least once a week when Escaping Destiny was going to be released.  Totally worth the wait.  It picks up right where it left off and gave me the resolution that I had my fingers crossed for.  I got a little concerned from there though.  There were still thirty chapters left, what else could possibly happen, right?  And this is exactly why I love Amelia’s work.  At no point did I feel that the path this book took was stretching in any way.  One of the biggest reasons that I don’t often read fantasy romance is because I can too often point out the formula being used and it all starts to become a little predictable.  Not the case here at all!  Everything flowed from one moment to the next, and I continued my edge of the seat, wide eyed, nail biting that I did in the first two.One other thing I’d like to make note of.  The vivid description of scenery and characters brought everything to life in my head.  Sometimes authors go overboard with descriptions to the point that you forget what is going on by the time they get back to the scene.  Amelia Hutchins style puts the descriptive in such a way that it is intricately woven into each scene.  When people ask me why I read so much, I tell them it is like watching a movie in my head, and writing like Amelia’s is exactly what I’m referring to.I’m ridiculously glad this is series is not over.  Yes, there was a cliffhanger here, but don’t worry, it wasn’t the throw your e-reader across the room like Taunting Destiny was.  I’m more excited than desperate this time around.  Write faster, Amelia Hutchins!Read more reviews at [...]
