Destiny Awaits (Juniper Grove Chronicles Book 1) Kindle Edition
Twenty-year-old Alayna Scott receives visions around water, but even her foresight couldn’t prepare her for the tragic accident that claimed the lives of her parents. With everything she loves gone, Alayna packs up and moves to the small town of Juniper Grove in hopes of starting over.
Jayden McKnight can’t explain the attraction that he feels whenever Alayna is near, but he does know that he will do whatever it takes to win her heart. When a vampire selects Alayna as his next victim, Jayden will stop at nothing to ensure her safety – even if that means bringing Alayna into a world that she never knew existed.
Love blossoms, challenges are made, and Alayna will find herself fighting not only to survive, but to understand what she has become.

Here we have a girl in the depths of pain after losing her parents, moving to a place she knows nothing about, and where nobody knows her history. She meets a guy who is helping her settle in, and he might have had a part in her past and future that she is yet to make a connection with.
Juniper grove has secrets and they run deep.

Little does she know that not all is as it seems in Juniper Grove, the quiet little town with a mandatory curfew for all its residents. There is so much more than she realizes that lurks in the shadows of her new town.
Her new home is lovely and with a little work inside and out, it could be truly amazing. There is even a garden with a fountain that helps calm her chaotic thoughts; the water healing her in ways nothing else can.
Inheriting more than money from her mother, Alayna is gifted with a form of clairvoyance. And in the ripples of the water, she can catch glimpses of the past and the future.
One day while working outside in her garden, she is startled by the voice of a strange man, causing her to slip and hit her head on the fountain; the fall knocked her out for a few moments and when she came to, she was staring into the most loveliest green eyes she had ever seen.
Jayden McKnight has cared for the estate grounds long before she bought the home. A good-natured guy that seems genuinely interested in her and the care of her new home but he is battling his own demons. After a few yard work sessions, Alayna starts to consider that this stranger might be a true friend.
She can't deny the instant connection between them and when things take a turn for the worst, starting with an attack from a man with fangs, it is Jayden that is there to help her cope.
My favorite thing about this book is that you never know what's coming next. It's surprising, well written and leaves you wanting more! I can't wait for the next one, Jaidis. A very addictive read.

Alayna is traveling with her parents. They all decide to pull off and get some food. Tragedy strikes and only Alayna survives the accident. With some of the money from their deaths, she decides to move away and start a new life. A Realtor sends pictures of homes for her to buy. She decides on moving to Juniper Grove. As she arrives in the strange little town, she notices there are not too many people and one of the town rules is no one out after dark. Her new house is huge and beautiful inside. The outside needs work. Jayden arrives at her doorstep and offers to help fix the outside. Together they work to fix up her new home. She sees in Jayden's eyes, the eyes she has seen in visions since she was a child. She knows he is the one who will complete her life. Jayden has already fallen for her. Wants to spend everyday with her. As the outside gets done and he has no excuse to hang out with her anymore, Alayna realizes she doesn't want him to leave either. One night she goes for a walk on her property. Gavin sees his target. As Alayna fights for her life from the vampire Gavin, she hits him and some of his blood enters her. Right before Alayna passes out she sees a dark cat like creature attack Gavin. Several days later she awakens to learn that she has both Vampire blood and now also shifter blood. Jayden, had seen Gavin attacking her.To save Alayan from a vampire fate, he gave Alayna some of his shifter blood to counteract the vampire blood in her system. No one has ever survived with both types of blood. So in just a very short time, Alayna learns not only that there are vampires and shifters but she now is both. What powers with she receive? How will her blood affect others? How does she fit into this world? Jayden is determined to make it work and to teach her of his world. Gavin may have other ideas.
This is a paranormal YA romance. There is mild sexual content but more implied sex that actually talking about it. The story is very easy to read, and has lots of action. I was hoping for more between Jayden and Alayna. I like more romance, but the action makes up for it. You learn as you go, they have been waiting for each other and are meant to be together. This is a good YA book. People who like LJ Smith, Stephanie Meyer or TS Welti would like this book. As some YA books are good reads for most ages, I would approve this one for 15 and up.
Complimentary copy was given to me for a honest review

SPOILER ALERT:
Well one day she moves home, she meets a handsome boy, then gets attacked by the baddie a couple of days later, then is told she might be a hybrid which she doesn't believe but on the next page its all forgotten about and she is a believer, eh? come on? then she is in love with the guy after a couple of days and willing to fight a panther for him, and yeah of course hes ok with this and when his parents want him to go home to his pack to help take over and be safe, shes like "no, we will stay here" yeah cause its better to stay where evil is coming for you and the guy you have known for a week is in love with you enough to give up everything, what a selfish *****. Oh and she finds out hes something she didn't believe in buy hey that's ok.
This story could have been better if it had more emotion to it and more depth, it was so on the surface it was unbelievable, I couldn't like the characters and didn't feel emotion for what they went through. the book started to annoy me and I had to stop reading it, im glad I got it free id have been mad to pay for this. I know this probably a really harsh review but I felt like I wasted my time trying to read it and want others to know before they waste money on it. As I said I didn't read it all so it maybe does get better.
