I don't know if I've ever told y'all this before but I don't always read the blurbs of books. Sometimes I do if I'm in a funk and can't find what I really want to read but most of the time I just read authors I know I enjoy and go in blind. That's what I did with Broken Destiny. I went in blind, not having any clue what I was going to be reading other than it was Serena Lindahl and it was RH. I don't know really what I was expecting but what I got was a book that sucked me in frome start to finish. I freaking loved this book so much. Zosia is an amazingly imperfect character. She's been through so much. She's been living in the human world for so long that she doesn't really even understand the supernatural world anymore. She's been told so many times that she is worthless that she doesn't know how to handle it when she finally finds her place in the world. Which she does. It's not at the snooty Hidden Academy itself but the library it houses. She and her four guardians will have to work hard and quickly to figure things out. The library holds a lot of power and there are evil individuals, both human and supernatural, that would love nothing more than to bring them down.

All four of her guardians are imperfect as well. Each special in their own way. We collect them along the way so I don't want to spoil who they will be before we get there. I will say that even though they all have their own "difficulties", they fit Zosia perfectly. I can't wait to see their relationships continue to grow.

As with a lot of leads that have damaging pasts, Zosia has to unlock and overcome the memories of what happened to her as a child. This is an utterly heartbreaking moment for many reasons. Not only what was done to her but by whom. She is strong and resilient though and she will pull through. I'm just not sure yet what unlocking those memories will cost her in the end. Speaking of ending, holy freaking hellfire. My heart. My Kodi.

I was not at all expecting to fall in love with this book and these characters the way I did. Serena did a great job introducing us to this world and making us invested in this story. I'm hoping like hell the second book isn't too far away.
