The epilogue of Retribution (Book 4) left readers questioning EVERYTHING that has happened up to that point. Everything Quin and Layla thought they knew is now up for questioning. Destruction (Book 5) picks up right where Retribution left off. Layla, Quin, and their families are left to pick up the pieces from the battle against Agro and the Unforgivables.One enemy was brought down, but now another enemy is brought to light and Layla is their target. New characters are introduced; some will prove to be unlikely allies, while others will prove to be dangerous. Everyone's motives are questioned. Who can Quin and Layla trust? Will their deep love and devotion for one another be enough to overcome their threats?Layla and Quin are also given information that brings their world crashing down around them. Layla's true destiny is revealed and she will have to decide whether or not to accept, but before she can do that, a major bomb is dropped on them. No one will see this twist coming! The ending will leave readers gasping and in a panic! You will be pulling your hair anxiously waiting for the next installment, but have no fear! Burgess was kind enough to release this book and the next (Book 6: Devastation) on the same day so get to one-clicking both books and dig in already!! You know you want to!Burgess has created an incredible world of magic, witches, and wizards. Each installment has me falling even more in love with the characters, the story, and world she's created. The Mystic Series has easily become one of my all-time favorites!Note: This is not a standalone book! Be sure to read the books in The Mystic Series in order: Descension, Impassion, Deception, Retribution, Destruction, Devastation
