- Skip if: fated-mates tropes feel too familiar to you
About This Audiobook
Isabelle has deliberately isolated herself from the world to avoid the mating bond that devastated her parents, living sheltered among family and resolved to remain alone. When a powerful vampire named Stefan arrives at her family's nest connected to her parents' history, Isabelle's careful walls begin to fail. Stefan is drawn to her stubborn defiance even as she fights her own attraction, and his dark past is already catching up to him in ways that will put them both in danger before they can decide what they want from each other. The second Vampire Awakenings novel by Brenda K. Davies develops the paranormal romance world established in the series opener.
Meg Price narrates with the warmth and tension that vampire romance demands, giving Isabelle's conflicted resistance to both Stefan and her own desires a convincing psychological reality. Her voice distinguishes the novel's supernatural world-building from its emotional core, keeping both elements present without letting either overwhelm the other. At just over ten hours, Destined delivers the genre's characteristic combination of supernatural danger and romantic development.
