WHEN A MOTH LOVED A BEE (Destini Chronicles #1) by PEPPER WINTERS

‘I loved her. No that wasn’t the right word. I was consumed by her. Awakened by her. Tortured with longing for her.’

5 phenomenal stars! We’ve been desperate for a fantasy romance for a while and were over the moon when Pepper Winters announced she was writing the Destini Chronicles series. And what a beast of a book it is! When Moth Loved a Bee, the first book in the Destini Chronicles is EPIC! Set aside some major reading time for this one, because it’s a beauty! This book truly is one hell of a story – both in telling and length – it’s of epic proportions. We need to petition Netflix NOW to turn this into a series – bringing it to life on the screen would be incredible!

‘If I hadn’t already spent an eternity loving her, I would’ve fallen to my knees in worship then and there.’

The world-building created by Pepper Winters is nothing short of phenomenal. We could only read in awe, mouths open, pondering the brilliance, vivid beauty, gifted imagination, and magnificent storytelling it took to bring this spectacular tale from storyboard to book. In When a Moth Loved a Bee, Pepper Winters has truly found her calling. We adore her contemporary stories, but…this is writing on another level. Bravo lady! There are not enough words to do this story justice.

“You’ve walked in my thoughts since I can remember. Each time I dream of you, I wake with a hollowness that leaves me begging. Even being this close to you is enough. I can breathe again. Breath after an eternity of suffocating.”

Book one in The Destini Chronicles builds a rich magical and mystical world where life and death, dark and light, destiny, and hardship covertly watch over the lives of a girl and a stranger – their forbidden love written in the stars, the folklore whispered in the moon. A love that is bound, passionate, all-encompassing but completely forbidden, for reasons you’ll discover in the book. Let us say now that if you love romance in your fantasy, you will FEEL the romance with every beat of your heart. The pull between these characters is an essence all its own.

‘I loved too deeply.
I cared too passionately.
Just like him.
Just like the stranger who treated me as if he’d loved me his entire life even though he’d just met me.’

The agony, the ecstasy, the longing, the angst, the danger, the passion. Wow! It’s infinite in this fascinating and breathtaking adventure where love is insurmountable, myths and legends abound in a complex world where love is the cause and effect, the agony and the ecstasy.

We revelled in unravelling the mysteries, interpreting the riddles, and willing them on as they discover their names, their destiny, and who they are. And why their love is so forbidden. Every wondrous moment filled our hearts, and every turn of the page reminded us why we love this genre so completely.

‘My heart couldn’t take any more pain. I couldn’t stand in shared memories that we finally, finally remembered. Broken memories that brought a thousand more questions.’

We’ve purposely not divulged much of the story, as we feel you need to trust this author to lead you on this journey. Allow her superlative talent to enable you to experience the heart-racing moments, the shocks, and the surprises as she intended. Everything you need to know is in the synopsis.

This enticingly breathtaking read is full of vivid imagery, compelling characters, and a true meeting of heart and soul. We are hooked, and so grateful for a new fantasy romance series! Talk about starting a series with a bang! Standing ovation for an outstanding read!
