Can she escape her terrifying destiny? "The plot was fast paced and constantly moving along. I was so intrigued by the Tempests that I had a hard time putting the book down. I am looking forward to the next book in the Destroyers series."--Reading Vacation"From the initial scene with the hurricane bearing down on Janelle and her dad, this story pulls you right along through to the surprising conclusion.
