From USA Today Bestselling Author, Casi McLean, five award-winning novelettes with supernatural twists grab you on page one and hold you spellbound long after you read "The End." At first these stories reel you into what appears to be a formula romance. Then they turn the genre on its head, throwing a perfectly aimed, delightful curveball at the surprising and satisfying endings. The writer doesn't rush any part of these stories, letting the reader see, hear, and feel the magical eeriness of one fateful night.

★★★★★ "This author is an auto-buy for me. Each of her novels including this one is a perfect mix of angst, suspense, humor, and steaminess."

★★★★★”If you like richly drawn characters, time travel, and spirits galore you will love this boxset. I will definitely read this author again.”

A note from the author ~

I designed The Destiny Series to give readers a taste of my writing and leave them wanting more. Five short stories in a collection that capture the essence of my genre and style: ethereal, supernatural, romantic, paranormal, heartwarming, all rolled into one book, sprinkled with a touch of magic. I hope my shorts entice you into my novels. Allow me to introduce you to my heroines.

DESTINY
Self-reliant Reagan Nichols is no stranger to challenges, but ever since twilight fell over Spirit Lake and a murky mist oozed inland, everything felt surreal. When she finds a little girl wandering through the eerie fog, Reagan vows to save the child's father from the bowels of a ghostly vessel adrift on the lake. Will the three survive a confrontation with pure evil in order to meet their Destiny?

THE GIFT
Savanna Bradford's impulsive reaction to her boyfriend Ryan's proposal spirals her into a rendezvous with fate and a mystical gift that could alter her future. Will the timeless struggle between dreams and passion bait her into repeating history, or will a simple gift from her bizarre encounter steer Savannah toward her true destiny before it's too late?

AFTER MIDNIGHT
Sabrina Wentworth's bewildering gift swept her into the sensuous arms of a dream lover. Every night––after midnight––she slips into an illusory world drenched in passion. But the sands of time run out tonight. Can Brie find the key to her fantasy world before the reality of her ex boyfriend's deadly plot plays through, or will she be destined to death after midnight?

CONVERGENT
Prominent heart surgeon, Sierra Norton, performs minor miracles on a daily basis, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would live one. When lightning strikes her flight the aircraft plunges, swirls through turbulence, and catapults Sierra into a treacherous past––the attack on Pearl Harbor. In a whirlwind blur, Sierra's courage, skill, and passion challenges her sanity. Can the convergence of three strong women reset history to fulfill her destiny?

THE PEGASUS CHRONICLE
When New York Time's best selling author, Katlyn Harris, discovers a timeworn painting in the attic of the isolated home she mysteriously inherits, she feels a surge of déjà vu that spins her into a mysterious fantasy. Can dreams pierce the realm of reality or is Katlyn's mystic connection to the antique painting the fulfillment of a promise torn from the pages of history?

Just when you think you've got the story figured out, BOOM. Romance, suspense, time-slips, mystery and a touch of paranormal, all wrapped into one ingeniously creative book.

Very beautiful written short stories with a super natural vibe to them. They may be short stories but each one is a complete story from beginning to the end. Truly enjoyed each one.

Destiny Series a Wonderful Read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

I read all five of the novelettes on a long weekend camping trip. Time travel by campfire was delightful. All of the stories had an interesting paranormal twist, as well as being entertaining and well-written. I love magic woven though tales of all kinds, but especially romantic ones. The settings and characters were well grounded. I won this set of stories at a Spring Blog Hop and I’m so glad I did. Truly enjoyed the stories enough that I have purchased Beneath the Lake, another of Casi McLean’s books.

Fans of romantic suspense and the paranormal will love the Destiny Series. I strongly recommend this collection of short stories!

McLean has a gift for describing an eerie setting

I read all five of the novelettes on a long train ride and I think ithat ride suited the feeling of the stories. Time travel and other worldly events abounded. My favorites were the first three because I thought the characters were slightly more developed. All of the stories had an interesting paranormal twist and I could definitely feel the spookiness of the settings. Great ideas. Great stories. I will probably dream of them tonight!

I adored all five stories and they certainly made me look forward to reading Ms McLean's full length novels.
The only negative is that there are some distracting editing errors. Ignore them and the book is fantastic.

These are all standalones, yet they work together like a perfect puzzle

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2021

Destiny:

What I really liked the most about this story is the eeriness conveyed by the prose. I love how it all revolved around a mysterious lake!

"Sycamore and oak branches, interspersed with tall Georgia pines stretched across the cove like fingers pressing the mist into the watery depths. What appeared to be an old wooden mast pierced through the hovering fog toward the hazy moon."

This was an eye unexpected gem of a story that brings two souls together under unusual circumstances. The only thing I didn't really follow was the mentioning of "dark and foreboding spirits" since we don't meet any and the story has a surprise at the end that is pretty far from dark and foreboding. But I loved the characters and the fact that you don't really get a full idea of what was going on. I was ok with that. I believe that there's so much whimsy that you don't always need the black and white to fall for the charms of a story.

The Gift:

This was my favorite out of Author McLean's short stories. It was a terrific tale of regret and being frightened of the unknown. Savy finds something that scares the heck out of her, and she literally runs away from what could be. A timely snowstorm and stuck vehicle cause her to reevaluate her values.

"The wind whistled, shifting her car, luring it toward more mounding drifts along the roadside. Ice crawled across tree limbs pressing branches together into a mesmeric maze."

There's always a mystery about Author McLean's stories and this one is like no other. Will Savy decide to follow her career or refuse to embrace regret in her life? I loved this simple yet powerful message that is important to all of us.

After Midnight:

I'm not sure I followed everything in this short story, but the concept was magical. I loved the idea of having dreams about a mystery man. Sabrina was very lonely and submerged herself in work... Until after midnight when her dreams pulled her into a perfect relationship. It was unfortunate that she played out her needs with her coworker, who had nefarious plans.

"But the cold, drizzly day still slunk around her like a shroud reminding her of how utterly alone she was."

Sabrina didn't seem to really care for Derek, which made their relationship sad and weird. He never seemed to be "right" for her, and I'm assuming she thought she was just comparing him to her dream time boyfriend. There was a couple places where Derek's dialogue was clunky, and his point of view made him sound more like a Disney villain. But I loved the mystery and the story of the clock. It was nice to see workaholic Sabrina get her love in the end, no matter how crazy it sounded.

Convergent:

I'm a sucker for a little girl. Especially one that's not annoying, and Brooklyn is a sweet, sick little one. Love her interactions with her father and Sierra. This story was fascinating to me. I know we all know about WWII but I appreciated the amount of detail Author McLean put in those scenes.

"Faded newspaper clippings and photographs, yellowed with age, showed the highlights of a lost generation."

I know this is ridiculous, but this story just seemed so realistic and relatable. Yes, its a paranormal short story, but the chemistry was so strong between ALL the characters that it seemed like something that could really happen. The ending made me smile hard.

The Pegasus Chronicle:

I loved the Greek myths and the ones with Pegasus were just magic. A beautiful white horse with wings. It's the epitome of what a little girl thinks is magical. Katlyn is no different. She used a story she knew from her childhood to create best selling fiction. Poor Kat didn't know her family so this story helped her through the tough times. And now she inherited a mansion in the middle of the country that may have come just when she needed it most.

"Here, she listened to the silence, relaxed to the tranquil hush of unfamiliar stillness."

But what's with the portrait of the lonely man? Why does it call to her? I adored the outrageous way the Pegasus was the missing link to her forgotten past. And the surprise ending was both smart and unbelievable. But unbelievable was the key to everything here. Kat missed out on so much growing up that she needed a little unbelievable in her life.
