After escaping the claws of Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the Brethren, Mack is trying to lead a quiet, lonely life in Inverness in rural Scotland, far away from anyone who might happen to be a shapeshifter. However, when she lands a job at an old bookstore owned by a mysterious elderly woman who not only has a familiar passion for herbal lore but also seems to know more than she should, Mack ends up caught in a maelstrom between the Ministry of Mages, the Fae and the Brethren.

Now she has to decide between staying hidden and facing the music, as well as confronting her real feelings for the green eyed power of Corrigan himself.

This is the second book in the popular urban fantasy series, Blood Destiny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, fast pace, nice story

I'm glad I discovered this four book series.

Its a very relaxing read, with a good storyline. Its not Tolkien's LOTR or Butcher's Dresden Files but it can certainly carry away my approval.

Although the same theme (vamps, weres and fae) comes back in this series, HARPER decided to give her heroine a little more bite and a nice one at that.

I find Harper to be a very smooth relaxing writer who doesn't force things on, she just makes her peaceful time writing the story she has in her head, and I feel it shows.. What I kept thinking throughout the series was that HARPER wrote until she had the required pages, finished up the little bundle with a nice end, but in her head just continued and figured oh well if it isn't here.. there will just be a fifth installment or a sixth. reading her books I feel like reading actual chapters of a life story that develops in its own pace and rhythm that is neither too slow or too fast. Also I hope she keeps doing it, because that just means we'll have the sequels faster.

**** SPOILER*****

The story is about a young fiery woman that grows up with werewolves in a small village in England. Its a peaceful quiet pack that hardly ever has anything go wrong. When one day John, Macks "foster parent', the packs alpha dies, she swears she will revenge his death.

Special about Mack is that she is not a were, but thinks herself to be human. Soon and fast as things develop, she notices that her bloodfire as she calls is, has more to it than just bad tempers. She is equally fast, strong and often stronger than any were she has encountered.

To assist in the murder of the pack alpha , the brethren, call them were royalty and police descend down upon the calm village. Mack does what she can to stay away from the brethren and their fearsome leader so they won't find out she is only human. She namely believes that if the Lord Alpha finds out that the pack has been harboring a human for the past decade, all of her pack will be destroyed and killed, as it is against the law to inform any human of the existence of the Otherworld.

During her quest for the truth Mack finds out who and what she really is and also makes some new friends along the way.

When finally Mack finds the enemy who killed John, she has dropped enough hints to the brethren Lord that she in not really a were nor a human. She is forced to leave the pack for certain reasons and she decides to go to Iverness Scotland, where she can hide away from the Lord Alpha so he need never know the truth about her and still decide to execute the pack.

Once in Iverness, Mack finds a job with a sweet old lady and in a cute little bookstore. Meanwhile she is still having problems and even more than before to keep her nasty temper under control.

During her stay in scotland, things end up in shambles. Despite the help of a "new friend" a fae lord named Solus, she still finds herself in front of the Ministry of Mages and at the mercy of the Lord Alpha of the weres. As if her new found "parlor tricks" weren't enough, she tries to fight harder and harder against Corrigan, who for some reason can't stay away from her.

Having come to an agreement with the archmage of the ministry of mages, Mack attends "magic school" in hopes of learning how to control her bloodfire and new found talents. When Alex, her mage friend finds himself in a bind she decides to help him out and finds herself squaring off against AUBRY vampire lord of London as well as another big bady. What happens then will change her life forever and finally both she and her entourage find out what the bloodfire really means...
**************end of spoilers**********************

I am currently reading the last one published and I'm still as interested as I was when reading the first page.

I sometimes got annoyed with our mid-twenties heroine for being ridiculously grumpy, bordering childish, but the end of the third book makes clear why. It's really a feature that needs to go with the character.

What I enjoyed beyond everything were the funny parts. HARPER has a real talent for dry humour and I found myself chuckling multiple times and at two or three occasions right out laughing.

I will never be able to chuck the idea of a certain SLIM in flowery yellow...

For those who love romance, the author, knows how to keep the pace going, yet she is very determined to make us readers EARN the happy end between our heroine and her "main squeeze"

Over all a pretty good series and can't wait for what may follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and addicting!

This series continues to grow on me! I must admit it is a totally different read from the others in the urban fantasy/paranormal romance genre.

Kindle kept recommending this series, based on my other reads, and after downloading the sample for book one, and reading it, I just couldn't get hooked on the storyline. From the summary description, I knew that the book would be a different type of read, and after devouring several other series during my summer reading, I finally trusted kindle and downloaded book one.

Once I got past the first two chapters, the story really began to keep my interest, and finally I became hooked on the characters, and on this new and interesting world.

Therefore, by the time I got to the end of the last book, I found myself quickly downloading the second, then the third!

This series brings a fresh taste to a genre that has been saturated with similar plot lines, carbon copied heroines, and predictable outcomes. If you read fantasy, then I encourage you to give this series a try. But be be prepared, it really is a different type of series from most. (And, you may find some editing issues, but they are minor and easily overlooked.)

As not to repeat what other reviewers have stated, I'll add to their reviews instead. . .

Mackenzie Smith is truly a testament of strength, courage, and a fiery temper! Sometimes she frustrated me so much I wanted to reach into her world and smack her upside her red head! (Almost similar to Katniss in The Hunger Games). And yet, this author does a fabulous job of creating this amazingly lost and flawed character, whom we fall in love with. Through her amazing storytelling, the reader will ache for Mack and cheer her on. Feeling what she feels and growing right along with her.

I've gotta say, thank you Ms Harper for this pleasure! Instead of a thrill ride of a rollercoaster, and steamy romantic interludes, you kept the story going, and the characters growing through your gift of words. You made me feel for each of them!

Loving the direction this series is going, and can't wait to learn more about Mack' s unique heritage and gifts. The addition of more paranormal creatures to this line has been amazing and continues to benefit the overall story arc.

Lastly, this reader is swept away with the interplay between Lord Shifty himself and the continual Faeness of Solus.

More please!

The second book in the series. I've read them all by now and loved Mac and her firery attitude! Strong female character who isn't afraid to tell the man in her life to take a hike. This series had me laughing out loud and falling in love with the characters. You really feel the struggle of wanting to do your own thing, pleasing others and finding your own path that Mack goes through. If you like magic, strong female lead, jokes and banter this book is for you! O and hot guys off course!

I am going to review all 5 books in this series together as I read through them all so fast I am not sure anymore where one began and another ended. I am very glad I come across these after the author had finished the series as I would have found it an excruciating wait! To say that these books were addictive is an understatement. I literally put my life on hold for a week to read them, and what an enjoyable week it was. I discovered Helen Harper about 2 months ago and am slowly working my way through everything of hers and loved all that I have read.

This series of 5 books contains everything I look for, quality writing, interesting plot, great world building and a main character to fall for (with of course an even hotter alpha male thrown in for good measure). Mack was likeable from the very first moment we met her, she took on a huge journey to discover her heritage and go from were pack member to being an outcast, then to one of the most important members of the supernatural society. I loved that we took the scenic route around the UK, from the wilds of Cornwall via Scotland to London, stopping a few places in-between. The supernatural world had everything, including the political interplay between the main groups of Fae, Were and Mages. Some things that stood out were the Were themselves, not just wolves but a whole array of animals. The vampires deserve special mention, these vampires certainly did not sparkle and to be honest were similar to what I think they would end up being if they were indeed real! I loved the friends that mack made along the way, with special mentions to Alex, Solus and Aubrey. This was indeed a roller coaster of a journey and I laughed (there was fantastic humour throughout) and cried. The ending was kind of bittersweet and possibly a little abrupt but still satisfying although I would love a peek into the future sometime. Thank you Helen Harper for a fantastic read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mack on the run and the rest of the Otherworld close on her heels!

Note: this is the 2nd installment of the Blood Destiny" UF series. The book could probably be read without knowledge of book one, but a lot would be missed that way. So if you are new to the series, I recommend to start reading with Bloodfire".

Review

In book two the series keeps its addictive qualities: Mack is on the run from the Lord Alpha of the shifters for fear of the discovery that she was illicitly raised by the Cornwall pack as a human. That violated one of the basic rules of were-life, that humans are never ever to be told about weres and since said violation is punishable by death, the stakes are high. Well, not that it's still a certainty that she is human, at least the dragon blood inside her makes her something not quite "normal".

Regardless, Mack is in Scotland and learning the hard way how life is without legal papers, friends to support you and a job to earn you even the most modest living. Being her at her most desperate, she makes the acquaintance of an elderly lady who gives her not just a job in her bookstore, but attempts to help her even further. Sadly, things go oh so wrong and in the end, Mack is on the run not just from the entirety of the shifters, but the very human police and the very upset mages, obviously bent on offing her.

Add to that an annoying fae lord who wants to get to know what she is any way possible and the new and somewhat out-of-control ability to grill others by throwing green flame and you get the gist of the book's plot. And it's fabulous! The book is rather short, only 225 pages, but that didn't impede my entertainment in the least. Quite the opposite, since I was so sucked into the story that I read it in one setting. Mack experiences a lot of real s*** and at times I felt really sorry for her. But I appreciate it that she is so not the person to whine or wallow in self-pity. Instead, she cuts her losses, gathers her wits and starts planning and acting. Not always sensible, mind you, but she has a functioning brain and uses it. And even if she isn't a nice person [well, she's a grumpy dragon descendant after all], she has a good heart and works hard to do the right thing.

Again, the rest of the characters aren't that well fleshed out, but as with book one, I didn't really care, because it's Mack's story and she and her problems need all page time they can get.

As a mild spoiler, I can tell you that the Lord Alpha finally finds out that she isn't a shifter and that her encounter with the mages turns out differently than Mack [or I] thought. The book's end gave me a good idea about where Mack will be in the next book and the encounter with the fae lord suggests that there will be future meetings with at least some seelie fae in the cards for Mack.

I'd still prefer it, if some more editing were employed, since there are for example words missing and other errors. But as with book one, I like Mack, her story and the world so much, I still think it a five star book. Can't wait to read on!
