When faced with the possibility of death, and you were given a choice ... would you face the danger or flee?  Layla and Quinn are faced with making a choice. What will they do?Retribution, book 4 of the Mystic Series, immediately picks up from where Deception leaves off.  Layla and Quinn, now a bonded couple, enjoy the results of their connection. They are more in tune with each other, more powerful, and quite an anomaly in their world.  Yet Layla continues to be hunted by Argo and his army. They have a choice to make - run and hide or stay and fight.  Whatever they decide to do, Quinn, ever her protector, has vowed to sacrifice anything and everything to keep Layla safe. Will he be called to do so? As a bonded mate, Layla finds courage, physical and emotional strength to face to bear the possibility of facing her ultimate fear. Will they both survive?Retribution is a book that will take you through a gamut of emotions, passion and heat. The physical manifestations of their love is so beautifully portrayed and choreographed. Though I must admit, there were a lot of those scenes, and I found myself skipping through them as I wanted to get to the action of the story.  I also found myself wishing that there would be more physical independence between them. Anytime that Layla had to move, Quinn seemed to be carrying her around - so much so that It seemed that Layla's face was permanently glued to Quinn's neck.Other significant characters were introduced in the story, showing how Layla was surrounded by love - from her family, her extended family, her coven and Quinn.  I found the special relationship between Layla and Alana so endearing and wished there was a bit more interaction between them.This book comes with a five-tissue warning. Make sure that you have plenty on hand when you get past the halfway point. The emotional scenes are so heart rendering that I found myself doing the ugly cry many times over. I am sure that you will agree with me when you get to that point.The book provides us a resolution to Argo's quest for more power, and very cleverly sets up what could happen in the next book, and I can't wait to get my hands on book 5 of this series.
