Destined by Jessie Harrell Published by Mae Day Publishing Expected Publication: November 17th, 2011 |
When Psyche receives a prophecy gone horribly wrong, she learns that even the most beautiful girl in Greece can have a hideous future. Her fate? Fall in love with the one creature even the gods fear.
As she feels herself slipping closer into the arms of the prophecy, Psyche must choose between the terrifyingly tender touch she feels almost powerless to resist and the one constant she’s come to expect out of life: you cannot escape what is destined.
Destined is a fresh and heartachingly romantic retelling of the Cupid & Psyche myth from debut novelist, Jessie Harrell. -(summary from Goodreads.com)
- DO YOU SEE THE COVER? It is breathtaking.
- I have discovered that I love retellings, especially of the mythological variety. Cupid & Psyche? YES PLEASE, I think I’ll have some of that.
- Jessie Harrell is a debut author, and I’ve been super excited about the work coming from debut authors this year. (Plus, I’ve had the pleasure of a few email conversations with this author and she was super, super great to work with.)
- Again, do you all see that cover?
Dying. I WANT THIS in my life.
Thanks SO MUCH for featuring Destined here on your blog. I hope you <3 it!! (And your personal praise makes me gush…)
The cover is Gorge(ous)! 🙂 I think I generally don't like retellings, but I read them anyway to give the book a shot! I think I always read the wrong ones! I think everyone else enjoys retellings besides myself.
I cannot wait to read this book!!! This is a fantastic pick and yes… the cover is gorgeous! 😀

I'd never heard of this one before, but what a gorgeous cover! Thanks for sharing 😀
YA takes on mythology haven't treated me so well but, oh my, this sounds fantastic. Definitely adding this to my list and looking forward to it. Great choice!
The book cover is very eye-catching. The story sounds good. I hope you like it! Happy Reading!
