This book is a super quick read, I was able to finish it in one sitting! Definitely a great book to read as a palette cleanser, especially if you want to binge it.
Jamie is a young, twenty-five year old woman. She is a successful business woman who left her small hometown in order to explore the world, but Jamie realizes that the world isn’t everything she had hoped for. So to get back in touch with herself, she decides to head home to find herself again.
Of course when you leave your home on bad terms, things are undoubtedly going to be awkward at first. Like running into your long term boyfriend that you broke up with suddenly, shocking the town, or seeing your former bestie out in public.
Not only is she dealing with the fall out at home, Jamie also is caught between two men. Liam, her former boss who she fell head over heels for but broke her heart, and a new mysterious man named Wren, who she feels drawn too even though she can’t describe why. Jamie has to decide if she wants to have a normal life with Liam, or if she will enter this new shifter life with wren. Oh, and a crazy evil wolf wants get dead.
This book is fast paced and easy to read. It is written in first person so you really get to see the struggles Jamie goes through and get to see the world as she does. I found myself not liking every one of her decisions, but that’s okay because she was trying to process the world the best she could.
If you enjoy love triangles, romance, shifters, and slow burn, then destiny is definitely a book any reader can submerge themselves in. Book 2 will answer (hopefully) many questions I’m sure many people are dying to know!

*I tried to do this review without spoilers, but it didn't work. So warning for that.*
This little snidbit of a story spent most of the time having the MC Jaime in complete heat. She sees a guy, she sleeps with guy. Everyone with the right equipment is hot, and she finds herself making out with them in such a way you think that she is being mind controlled or something, and taken advantage of. Jaime had run away from Accalia, her hometown after such an incident seven years ago, dumping her only friend and boyfriend in the process--but she's back after sleeping with her boss didn't work out. While Jaime is kissing everyone, or angry at her old friend for currently being with her ex (whom she doesn't really have an interest in- but still has the thought process of 'Mark was always mine'), people are going out in the woods and getting mauled and killed. Note, this doesn't really stop anyone from hiking and going out again. Apparently two guys aren't enough, so her old boss shows up. Wren surpasses Twilight level stalking and "you are mine", while Jaime decides hey, why not try being with her old boss again. Just when you think some actually plot or explainations are going to happen, the book ends.

Any werewolf book that gets me to finish in 2 days gets a five star review. Usually I find werewolf books boring but this had enough mystery and romance that it was one I couldn't put down. It was more romance based and read more like a prequel to Jamie's f*'d up life otherthan a werewolf/shape shifter book so that is probably why I enjoyed it as much as I did. There was spice and it was a very enjoyable read.
Towards the end when it finally started to read like a Fantasy, it did get quite info-dumpy which was a slight let down after being like go, go, go throughout most of the book. And there was a plot twist that needed some work and explanation. I was also lead to believe by the blurb there would be more fantasy elements once we see The Academy, and I didn't find that in this book—not to say it won't happen as the series progresses.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm actually excited for book 2 to come out. Highly recommend you check this out.
