I received a free copy of this novel from Reader's Favorite in exchange for my honest review.

Destiny Awaits is a story about a young woman that has visions, some of which are of the man she is destined to fall in love with. A year after her parents' tragic deaths, Alayna has decided to start over in the sleepy town of Juniper Grove. Thanks to the help of her realtor, Dominic, she's bought a lovely fixer upper that only requires yard work. A chance meeting with the young man tending to her garden begins stirring a feeling of belonging that she hasn't felt since her parents passed away. An evening stroll turns into an encounter with a vampire, and she quickly learns nothing is quite what it seems in Juniper Grove. Is Jayden the mysterious young man that haunts her visions since she was a little girl? Will Gavin succeed in ending her life?

Destiny Awaits is a wonderful paranormal romance. The descriptions were very detailed, I was able to picture every aspect of the story vividly. The attraction between Jayden and Alayna was instant, and you also watch them grow as a couple. There's some mystery in the story as well, it kept me engrossed and I was really sorry to see the book end. I can't wait for the next book in the series, as I'd love to see more written about Violet, Alayna, Gwen, and Jayden.… (mehr)

I won this book at a giveaway! Yay!

This book took me by like a storm, I started it and then I was finished in record time! And why is that? Because it’s that good, it pulls you in from word one until the last word and you keep wanting more! The plot was full of surprises always holding me on edge, guessing what could happen next. The book has vampires, shifters and a seer. It’s a good mix between it all! The characters are solid!! When you read the book you feel what the characters feel because your right there beside them (I did at least). It’s safe to say that I loved this book and I can’t wait from more from Jaidis Shaw.
So I will reccomend this book to all of you vampires & shifter fans out there :)

Lurking in the Deep By Jaidis Shaw

A well written collection of short stories by various talented Authors. Each story is unique and all based on the "water" either an Ocean, Lake or River. Some are new takes on old spooky tales of creatures of the sea. I enjoyed seeing how each author developed their characters, and stories. All were five star reads.

I strongly recommend Lurking in the Deep to those who love short stories, fantasy creatures, legendary creatures, new aquatic creatures and spooky stories. These stories will make you think twice before you dip your foot into the water!
