I have fallen in love with Ms. Shaw's Shadows of Destiny series. I cannot get enough of the world she has created. Destiny Bewitched (Book 4) by Leia Shaw definitely has her magic touch and does not disappoint. There's action, there's suspense, there's sex and there's love. What more could you ask for?Samantha (Sam) is a witch who is still learning her powers. Geo is a demon living out his sentence in the Underworld. They both are a means to an end for the other. Their journey is filled with many obstacles that serve as tests to show who Geo and Sam really are.Destiny Bewitched is a great story! I loved the concept the whole way through. I'm big on plot and watching everything unfold, no matter how small. I enjoyed being in their world (as a spectator, mind you, as I don't have any supernatural powers that I'm aware of). I felt as though I was transported into the story and had front row seats.I did struggle a few times when Sam spoke to herself. I had to really concentrate to figure out some of the words. This did not take me out of the story too much, but eventually I knew when I came to those parts it would take me a tish longer to continue on. By no means, did this diminish anything about this wonderful story, it was all me.Part of what I love so much about this series is how different each book is. Ms. Shaw brings so much diversity that you can never get bored with the plot. I adore seeing previous characters and some of them check in every time. Not only are the books different, but the characters are unlike each other as well. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. You never feel as though you've already read something before.I started this series out of order (which I rarely do) with book 3, Destiny Unchained and loved it. But I wanted more, so I started over from the very beginning. I am so glad I did, as I am now getting a richer experience. The plot for this series is really that great! There are currently 4 full length novels and 1 free novella. I definitely recommend each book.
