Summary: Destiny
Review: I am so excited. I just got finished reading the new Maggie Shayne book. Destiny was a good book. The plot of the book is wonderful. Nibada, a character from Infinity is the main character of this book. The man she falls in love with turns out to be a man from her past. I don't want to give away much of the story here and it would be too easy to do that. Ms. Shayne has once again developed her characters very well and paid great attention to detail of all of her scenes. The story flows well and there is never a dull moment. Her usage of skipping time lines in the middle of a chapter is a little unusual but very well written and easy to follow. I only gave this book a four star because while it is a great book and well written. It lacks the spark of some of Ms. Shayne's other works. I would however recomend the book to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Romantic Times Review
Review: Nathan King has a home, business and two loyal friends, George and his housekeeper Sheila. His life changes once he sees a photo in the newspaper of a beautiful woman in the hospitalsemi-comatose and possibly suicidal. The photo is a blow to Nathans heart for she is the very image of his long-dead love, the Sumer High Priestess Nidaba.

Four thousand years ago, Nathan was Eannatum, the King of Lagash. When Nathan goes to the hospital, he discovers the woman is indeed Nidaba. With the help of George and Sheila, Nathan spirits the tormented Nidaba away to safety. And not a moment too soon, for an ancient enemy is deliberately stalking them and is ready to strike when they least expect it.

Maggie Shaynes books just keep getting better and better! DESTINY rounds out the Immortal High Witch trilogy by delivering a powerhouse book filled with passion, emotion and true dramatic flair.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nobody does paranormal romance like the great Ms. Shayne
Review: Since his days as Prince Eannatum circa 2500 BCE Sumer, he has adopted and shredded many identities. He currently enjoys his persona as Boston antiquities expert Nathan King even though he knows it places him at risk from other Immortals, especially the Dark Witches. However, everything changes when he sees a picture accompanying a newspaper article on a "miracle" in Manhattan. The picture looks just like the supposedly dead Light Witch, Nidaba and the article describes an Immortal. Nathan immediately drops everything to visit the patient in a New Jersey hospital and sees the woman he has loved for several millenniums.

Unbeknownst to Nathan, the Dark Witch Purabi is also at the hospital. After posing as a doctor and killing a physician, Purabi plans to murder Nidaba as she tried to do on that rooftop in Manhattan. Only Eannatum stands in her way of success, but he must first reclaim the love he thought lost for eternity if he and Nidaba are to fulfill their destinies together.

If anyone ever said that a romance would star characters from Sumer, a footnote in the bible, readers would call for a straitjacket. However, Maggie Shayne not only does this, but also makes DESTINY an incredible follow-up to her fabulous novel ETERNITY. The story line once again blends mysticism into everyday life in a good vs. evil scenario. The lead characters feel genuine as if they truly walked the earth 4500 years ago. The support cast provides a reality to the Immortal species and anchors the tale in the modern day Northeast. Although the flashbacks are enlightening they do disturb the contemporary suspense. Still, Ms. Shayne is deservedly destined to return to the best seller lists with a winning story.

Summary: Not As Good As the First Two Books
Review: The first book, Eternity was great. The second book, Infinity was good. This book was OK. I thought it dealt too much with their past. I think the other books should be read to understand the heroine better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book!!
Review: This book was wonderful! Very well written, and extremely historically accurate. It's nice to find well written characters with realistic feelings, and especially ones in a book wrapped in magic and history. I very much reccomend this as a great read to anyone!
