In the final installment of the Destiny Series, Lauren and Max still yearn for their normal life together. Although finally united, they’re unable to enjoy their bliss when they learn nine people have been viciously murdered. The murderer is a young man who saved Max’s life months earlier. Lauren and Max must decide how to help the young man and destroy the evil that resides within him. The only thing the Council and the Cabinet can agree on is: Lauren and Max need to stay away. Lauren and Max worry that this time the evil may consume them both. Nobody involved saw the power of Destiny’s Wrath until it was upon them.

My Review:

The Desinty Trilogy has drawn to a close with this final installment. Nancy Straight concluded Lauren and Max's life at a good place where I'm okay with letting them go.

Lauren and Max have accomplished a lot in the past three years. They met, Lauren was in and out of a coma, Max went to and returned from war and then they found each other again. Their peace of removing Samuel from Max's body hasn't lasted long when trouble find them. Will they kill him once and for all and complete their soul, or will they have to live more lives to move on to an eternity of happiness?

I really enjoyed this final book. Max and Lauren are finally in a good place when all hell breaks loose. They are trusting in each other and if they can't win, no one can. I loved that Destiny's Wrath was told from multiple points of view. It really gave the reader an inside look into Samuel's mind and the new characters being introduced. I also loved how this book just jumped right into the drama. If I remember correctly, my jaw was permanently dropped for the first five chapters. No time was wasted! Great ride!!

Overall, Destiny's Wrath was by far the best book in the trilogy. It created the perfect ending which allows the reader to let go of two very wonderful characters. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. If you haven't started this trilogy yet, I highly recommend it!

Safekeeping
by Karen Hesse


To Be Released on September 18, 2012

Summary:
Radley just wants to get home to her parents in Vermont. While she was volunteering abroad, the American People's Party took power; the new president was assassinated; and the government cracked down on citizens. Travel restrictions are worse than ever, and when her plane finally lands in New Hampshire, Radley’s parents aren’t there.
Exhausted; her phone dead; her credit cards worthless: Radley starts walking.

Why I'm waiting:

Breaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw Wolf

Summary:

Allie lost everything the night her boyfriend, Trip, died in a horrible car accident—including her memory of the event. As their small town mourns his death, Allie is afraid to remember because doing so means delving into what she’s kept hidden for so long: the horrible reality of their abusive relationship.
When the police reopen the investigation, it casts suspicion on Allie and her best friend, Blake, especially as their budding romance raises eyebrows around town. Allie knows she must tell the truth. Can she reach deep enough to remember that night so she can finally break free? Debut writer Jennifer Shaw Wolf takes readers on an emotional ride through the murky waters of love, shame, and, ultimately, forgiveness.

Why it's on my wishlist...

  I've had my heart set on reading Breaking Beautiful since I first saw it many moons ago. There have been both positive and negative reviews for this book, but I want to judge for myself. That and it just screams something I would enjoy.
