By: Rebecca Zanetti
Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)
Book Blurb:
Love and danger . . .
For most of his life, Vampire-Demon Garrett Kayrs, nephew of the King of the Realm, has carried a heavy mantle of responsibility with ease and control. Fate declared him heir to the throne, Fortune marked him with the power of the mysterious circle of Seven, and Chance promised more surprises to come. Nothing deterred him from his path. Until the nightmares began--agonizing dreams of having a female, the female, his mate, on the back of his motorcycle—only to have her torn away from his protection. He feels the menace around her, the danger she’s in, and he can’t rest until he finds her . . .
Duty and desire . . .
Destiny Applegate bears the weight of her name with a respectful balance of fear and purpose. She has been given some direction, but not nearly enough to truly understand her duty, what she was born to do. Even as a child, she had a sense of him. The him, her mate. A dream moment or two with him that might have saved her—or possibly cursed her. So now, when he finds her, she has no choice but to jump on the back of his bike and do her best to hold on until she discovers her path—even if that means ending his. ~Goodreads
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley and the publisher Macmillan-Tor/Forge for an honest review.
Garrett Kayrs is nephew to the king of the Vampire nation and destined to rule one day. He volunteered to become one of the Seven, a group of protectors sworn to guard the realm from the evil Kurjan leader Ulric, in an effort to protect his niece. Hundreds of years ago, the original seven prisoned Ulric within a bubble in another realm. Recently, that prison realm has started to degrade and come apart. The seven know the end of their fight is near. They have been searching for the three keys and the lock in an effort to prepare for the final ritual and battle. Garett's niece is the lock and the main reason he joined the Seven. He hopes to find a way to end Ulric prior to the ritual and save his niece from a tragic ending.
Along the way, each of the seven have found their destined mate; the one who was meant to be with them for the rest of their days. Garrett has dreamt of his mate an in his dreams she is a hardcore assassin out to kill him. When he meets up with the human female named Destiny he finds her to be nothing liked he dreamed. He can't understand why she prompts his mating mark to appear. What is Destiny not telling him? He knows there is more to her than meets the eye but nothing prepares him for the truth.
After fifteen books in a series you would think that Rebecca Zanetti has shared every possible storyline possible but she continues to amaze with her fresh ideas and new characters. I had waited so long for Garrett's story and I was not disappointed. I will admit, when Destiny first appeared in the diner I found her to be naive, innocent, and a little out of touch. I wasn't sure I was going to like her but as her back story started to reveal itself I grew to love her strength and charitable nature. She may not have been the badass female Garrett anticipated but she certainly proved she was tough as nails.
This fifteen book series is actually comprised of two storylines. I know that this particular storyline is coming to its conclusion. I sure hope that I wasn't 'reading' into too much when we were introduced to Hunter and his secret mission. My fingers are crossed that Zanetti is planning a follow up series involving his storyline.
Garrett and Destiny's story will be available October 25th, 2022
