Stefan is his usual sex beast of a vampire and Josie is the luckiest hybrid on the planet.
This book is written from the POV of Stefan Lifsten, he is a 975 yr old vampire with an unbeating heart, but a heart of gold. He suffers through the beginning yrs of his vampiredic life doing things, carrying guilt and siring two children of his own, out of love.
Alexandra nails it yet again with another great read, her imagery is astounding, and she drags you in and leaves you wanting more. She writes like no other her books are amazing and they give you the opportunity to absolutely fall in love with all (most) her characters.
Stefan sexy voice is easily burned into my brain and makes me envious of Josephine. Alexandra thank you for creating my forever book boyfriend, no one will ever hold a candle to him. The veracious sexual appetite of this sex god of a man and women is astounding. I love the fact that he wants to always or at least often want to have sex and then go take a shower to get clean, to only get dirty again. This only leaves us ladies wanton/lust filled and ever panting for more.
I can not tell the readers how much you need to pick the amazing Alexandra Anthony's books. I have not been disappointed yet in a single one. I feel my biggest disappointment will come when this series ends. It will be a sad but excited and revealing day.
Stefan story is on a piece of the crazy life he has lead (for that I am sure of) up until he meets Josie. His point of view is stellar and erotic. He knows how to make a women heart beat faster and at time he has mine beating right out of my chest (or I should I say Ms. Anthony does).
This book has the usual, yummy amount of sex in it; it is a love story between a vampire and his fated hybrid. Don't fall into the illusion of those who claim to be good and those who aren’t.
Well done Ms. Alexandra Anthony, I thank you for the perfect book boyfriend.
Much love,
B
By the way I am by know means a great writer but I love a great romance/Erotic read it is and may always be my guilty (by no means) pleasure.
PS. Keep calm I love Stefan ;) Always

I have barely gotten into this book and I'm already hooked. Stefan is just as passionate and totally lethal. I'm sure I will be editing this review for a longer one, but I needed to say.............. BUY THIS BOOK!! You will not be disappointed. If you already love Josie and Stefan.... This book will grab your heart!
Okay, I just finished Odyssey and I can say that hearing Stefan's POV was AMAZING. His torment throughout his years before he finally found Josie was heartbreaking.
Learning what made him they way he is, is truly remarkable. He could have easily become a cynical, human hating SOB, but he never let his humanity go.
When he finally finds Josie after searching for 200 years and his elation made my heart sore for him. Like I said above, he is passionate and lethal. But he is also tender, comforting, nervous and the man everyone woman would want to meet.
When you read Fated, Illusion and Awakening you can completely understand Josie and her worry about if Stefan leaves. But Odyssey also shows that Stefan has the same fears. Making me love this character even more (I didn't think that was possible).
Alexandra's writing will engulf you, putting you in the story like a fly on the wall. You can picture everything and the story and characters are so believable. I HIGHLY recommend buying anything she writes, you will instantly crave more!!!

I am a big fan of The Vampire Destiny Series. I truly enjoyed Odyssey, the POV of the leading character, Stefan .
It was a wonderful perspective to see how Stefan felt in his long search for Josie and the events that took place. The book was frantically steamy and understanding Stefan’s never-ending quest for his fated mate was heartfelt. I would definitely recommend reading the series as it will give you a better clarification of the story and the wonderful characters. Alexandra Anthony is a wonderful author, and she has great passion for her characters. This book is a great companion read to go a long with, Fated, Illusion, Awakening, and Ascend! If you enjoy sexy vampire paranormal romance you are going to love this series!

This is a companion piece to THE VAMPIRE DESTINY SERIES written from leading male yummy character Stefan. It s not a rewrite of the first two books in this series but rather additional information on the characters and some very important back story.
This is my favorite series from Alexandra Anthony and I never tire of reading about these lusciously in love main leads. But I'm also very invested in the supporting cast and all their shenanigans as they fall deeper into the devious traps set by the psychotic mind of Josephine's evil vampire father who happens to be head of the vampire council and is able to pull the strings that hero Stefan & Co must continually unravel as a forgotten past comes to light. Will he save her or will she save him? I cannot wait for the next installment.

I really liked getting Stefan's POV of the Vampire Destiny series. There were a handful of editing errors, but they didn't slow me down much at all. I really enjoy Ms Anthony's writing style for all of her series. Highly recommended reads

Love this series. I hope there will be so much more. I loved reading Stefan's point of view. I would like to read more of his pov.

Ok! Whew! As well as the whole adult Romance goes it's good. Has all the tropes and a sexy Vampire you can't get enough. The chemistry and passion of the characters is off the charts. So, if you're looking for a quick and fun read it's really good.

The whole series is very well written and I loved it!! unfortunately the author seems to have taken a break from writing, I hope that she will write again..

Before I begin I will tell you that I am a big fan of Alexandra Anthony and the Vampire Destiny series. I’ve read each book and loved them all. With that said, I wasn’t really a fan of this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first part of the book reading about Stefan’s life but once he finally found Josie it was just one big screw fest with a little bit of story thrown in here and there. Yes, I know that the other stories had a lot of bedroom scenes as well however at least there was a story going on in between all that. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good bedroom scene as much as the next girl but it’s not all that I want to read about. My case in point, when Stefan had to fly off to deal with Derek you didn’t get any of that story just him gone one day and then flying home and him thinking about it a little on the flight home. It drove me crazy and I found myself skipping over most of the bedroom scenes after a while.
Oh and do not read this book if you have not read Fated and Illusion first! It is a companion book after all and will not make sense if you haven’t at least read those two books.

Ok, so there is absolutely no new information in this book. No new insight to events, nothing new at all. There is only sex, sex and more sex. Don't get me wrong, I like sex in the story but that is what 85% of the book is. It just got to be redundant. If you haven't read the first two books in the Vampire Destiny series you will be completely lost. Also this book needs a lot of editing. Overall I would say just don't bother. I think I'm done with this series.
-Happy reading
