I won't recount the description of the book. I think that has been done plenty already. When I stumbled across this book, I was so excited, because it seemed to be very similar (in description) as the Brides of the Kindred series by Evangeline Anderson. This is my favorite series, so I was really excited to read Theron Destiny. I am giving my opinion when I am a third of the way through this book. I am really disappointed. The idea for the book is great, but I have to agree with the other reviewers on some points. First of all, the editing is absolutely one of the worst that I have ever ran across. There is something wrong with almost every page. Either the wrong tense is used, a word left out, the same word is in the sentence in 2 different spots, etc. It is so frustrating stumbling over these things constantly that it really takes away from the story. Second, I do agree with the reviewer that said they talk about their reason for wanting "mates" WAY too much. I agree. I get it already. Can you say anything else? Third, the h was giving me whiplash with her feelings. One minute she is hateful and wanting to go home and refusing to EVER be the H mate, and in the next paragraph she has resigned herself to the fact that this is her new home and way of life. Make up your mind. Stop going back and forth. One minute she is very interested in trying things from his world and the next she hates it all. I have a headache from trying to figure this woman out. Fourth, I can not figure Lars out at all either. Ok, I get that he is the villain, but his inner musings over Avery is just crazy. Does he want her because he "WANTS" her or does he want her for revenge?  He is swinging back and forth on his inner thoughts too much. Fifth, I am just not getting pulled into the story like I do on other stories like this. I feel like I am reading a story that my teenage daughter would write. I am just not feeling what the character's are feeling. It just isn't there for me. So I am giving it 3 stars basically for the storyline, but if it wasn't for that it would definitely be a 2. I really would not recommend buying this book unless you are fine with all of the issues that I just stated. Maybe if they completely re-edited this book it would be ok, but right now, NO.
