Review: a twisted love triangel series that keeps you in shock!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 20, 2014
Destined Series w/ 898 pages & 5 continuous stories of Mira, Danny, Skylar, and Kylee.  This series somewhat reminded me of S.E. Hall's Emerge series but with a love triangle with lots of twists and turns, broken hearts, and new adventures of life forming for ever after bonds.  Each book flows to the next and you will definitely want the full series because once you start, you will want to find out what happened next. So go get Mirage, Inception 1.5, Awakening 2, Facade 3, and Epiphany 4 today!1.  Mirage: "The real story isn't pretty or romantic it just breaks you to the point where you don't want to go on anymore.  You pray that this isn't the way your story ends."Meet Mira, Danny, Skylar and Kylee.  Danny & Skylar were best buds since diapers and Mira and Kylee were best friends growing up as well.  They all meet at orientation of their Freshman year of college.  Unfortunately Danny & Skylar must have the same taste because one brunette gets their attention at the same time.  Mira apparently chooses Danny while Skylar has to step aside.  Tragedy struck the 4 best friends causing their lifes to spiral out of control.  Read to find out what happends.  I did not expect that cliffhanger and the series is only the beginning.1.5 Inception:  This is a prequel to Mirage in Danny Thomas's POV to help you understand how Danny & the gang met 4 yrs prior from the ending of Mirage. I basically skimmed thru this book to get to the next one."It's always been our thing.  Live free, ride hard.  More importantly, ride fast." ~Danny2  Awakening:  "Danny's touch is comforting.  It always was.  But Skylar's touch?  It's magical.  There use to be a time, I guess not too long ago, when Danny would touch me and I would feel a spark but with Skylar I feel a current; like being zapped by an electric fence."This is the continuation of Mirage in multiple POV's.  You will get to see how Mirage was mostly just Mira dreaming while she was in a coma and she wakes up and it is all not only a different story  that continues but maybe a different love?  What will Danny and Mira do about the true feelings that Mira now has?  Will she have to give up both to move on or will she have a choice to choose?3  Facade:  This is Kylee aka Red and Jacoby's story.When you are reading this series, it gets so confusing because you are reading one thing and the next few pages it was either a dream or something else and the story changes again.  I loved how Kylee was able to find her man and Jacoby was hot. Kylee never thought she would find her true love but to get there, she has to put her full trust in the one person who is falling for her already."He's my light in a dark tunnel and I'll admit it to anyone who asks: sometimes, with the right person, love is worth everything.4  Epiphany:  a twisted conclusion to a twisted love storyAlright, it is toward the end and I don't want to let go of these characters.  I loved this series.  This was a great conclusion and my favorite of all 5 of the books.  I really wish I got more of Danny's continued story with his move to NY and relationship with an old friend."You're my first love and I'll always carry that with me.  I just got caught in the crossfire of destiny, that's all." ~ Danny to Mira"accidents don't happen-everything happens when destiny decides to throw it at you"Warning:  Lots of sexy smut & language throughout series which I am opposite of others that is a big turn off for me personally but once I got through that, it is a great series itself.  Some grammer issues as well.
