The trouble with destiny is that it always brings trouble. Seriously. No joke. Always. Sarah just wanted to be a simple, quiet, boring accountant. She happens to be great with numbers. It would have worked - no harm, no foul - and lifewould have been good. But of course, Destiny had to rear its ugly head and not only change Sarah’s plans for a calm and peaceful life, Destiny had to come in and turn her life completely upside down.

With identical birthmarks on the insides of her wrists resembling two half moons, Sarah was born to be a daemon slayer. Dorian knew that as soon as he found her and saved her from the attack of her very first daemon. While she would have promptly thanked him for his heroic endeavor, he then had to go and tear out the daemon’s shriveled black heart and hand it to her expecting her to destroy it. Of course, Dorian then had to explain to her that she was the daemon slayer he had been searching for and inform her of the true nature of the markings on her wrists: they were meant to give her the power to destroy a daemon’s vile heart.

Damn fate! There are plenty of times when Sarah wishes she could have stayed unaware of her true calling, but every time she looks at Dorian, she finds the resolve to do what she must for the greater good. Always Dorian, Dorian, Dorian. How can she successfully fight evil when Dorian keep creeping into her thoughts - distracting her - with his deliciousness. Except Dorian would never think of her in a sexy way. Dorian is all work and no play. Double damn. Not only is Dorian a strict work-aholic, he also has to be all noble about how he feels about Sarah. He wants to protect her. From what? Himself? What could Dorian be hiding that could change how anyone, especially Sarah, would feel about him?

The Trouble with Destiny is simply a delightful read. It is in the first person and I found it fun as well as funny being able to see things from Sarah’s perspective. This book has a lighthearted feel to it that anyone can really enjoy. It is simple and sweet while fresh and entertaining at the same time.
