Alex's Destiny by A.K. Michaels
3.0
This is a fun, light read - entertaining and not too demanding. A K Michaels has created her own niche in the Vampire/ Werewolf market - not an easy thing to do before Twilight and doubly hard in its wake.
Alex is enjoying a solitary walk in the woods when a creeping sense of dread tells her that all is not well. No surprise that she's right ... And that's when the fun begins. Enter tall, handsome and otherworldly Zach and the sparks begin to fly.
There are some nice original twists and Michaels definitely has voice, the one thing that will keep you turning pages. I especially enjoyed the Glaswegian werewolf.
The two niggles for me were that the prose was a tad repetitive in places, tending to slow the pace down, and that the dialogue was often a bit unwieldy and didn't sound natural. I suspect this was because in some chunks of it, exposition was crammed in, in order to cover the back story. These are minor issues though and overall this was a fun read. I will be checking out the rest of the series.
