**This series
must be read in order. They are NOT standalones**
B.C. Burgess’ decision to release both of these
books on the same day was a fantastic decision. I was up until 4 in the morning
reading them both. I was just wanting to finish Destruction, but with the way it ended, I had to dive straight into
Devastation afterwards. Layla and
Quin haven’t even been together for a year, but they have been through so much
together. What happens in these two books is unpredictable and wild. It’s a
rollercoaster of a journey that I don’t think I will ever recover from.
“All I can do is to take comfort in the hope
that, no matter what I do, where I go, or what becomes of me, the people and
the home I love will stay safe, and that I’ll always have you with me to hold
me, love me, talk to me, and help me through the flames.”
“You will. Always.”
I’ve been terrified to write this review, because
I’m scared of going back and opening the books to include quotes. These two
books are more powerful than the other four combined! So much goes on, and you
never see any of it coming! It’s such an emotional ride. I was wrecked by the
time I finished them at four in the morning! I had to read them back to back.
There’s definitely a reason that B.C. released them at the same time. I know I
already said this, but I’m just preparing you!
“Yes, if for some reason I were to lose him,
I’d be beyond crushed. It would destroy me. But this is the only life I’m going
to get, and the best thing about my life is Quin. So why on earth would I let
him go? I’m willing to take any risk imaginable to keep him, and nothing in the
world will stop me from accepting what he has to offer.”
With that being said, I can’t say anything about
the plot. Anything I talk about will probably be a spoiler! And there’s a
reason that the synopses for both books are vague. It’s best to just jump in.
You’ll drown and you’ll get your heart shattered into a million pieces. And
when your heart is put back together, it’ll still have cracks and pieces
missing. But, hey, I say it’s well worth it. Isn’t that why we read? To feel? To
go on an adventure that you in real life could never ever embark on? Well that’s
definitely what it’s like to go into Layla and Quin’s world.
“If you have even the tiniest doubt about
how much I love you, tell me and I’ll make it go away, because there’s nothing
I love more than you. I’d do anything to prove that every minute of every day,
and I’ll never stop trying, no matter how many battles we face.”
Sigh, Quin… He’s just so perfect. It’s unreal how
devoted he is to Layla and how he strives to be everything she needs. We see a
lotttt of new sides to Quin. We see his darker sides, and we see what he’s like
when he’s under stress and pain. And Layla, holy crap, there are no words for
what Layla has to go through. She’s a changed person by the end of book 5.
Again, I can’t say anything, but she definitely took a few hits to my heart
with a hammer. I’ll never recover. Thankfully, we still see that amazingly
strong bond between Quin and Layla. Honestly, the love that these two share was
what got me through this book. They’re so perfect for each other. Hopelessly
devoted. Ridiculously sexy. And sometimes nauseatingly sweet. You know, when
they’re not getting almost killed. Which happens pretty much every book in this
series. We see them go through some of their hardest trials to date, and they
prove that they’re not the most perfect couple ever. Yet, they still make it.
“I didn’t fall in love with part of you,
Layla. I fell for the whole package. And you can stop looking for my angel,
because I’m staring at her. You may be different than the woman I met months
ago, but the woman you are today is just as stunning, and I’m madly in love
with her.”
This is probably the vaguest review I have ever
written. But, if you ever get to these books, you’ll know why. Everything I
could possibly say that is plot related would be a spoiler! I mean, I guess I
could keep going on and on about how perfect Quin is and how I’ll never find a
man like him and how he’s ruined me for real men… Or you could read the book
and find out for yourself. I could also go on about how much I freaking love
B.C. Burgess. Then again, doesn’t everyone? I’ll just stop by saying that I’m
ridiculously scared to see what’s next in store for Quin and Layla…
“I love you. I love how much you love me,
and the lengths you go to for me…the distances you’ve gone. I couldn’t do it
without you and I can’t tell you what it means to me to have someone willing to
stick with me through all this. I know it’s not easy.”
“Loving you is like breathing, Layla—natural
and necessary. Every breath of you is a breath of life, and living never felt
so good. If I have to fight my way through hell to keep you, that’s exactly
what I’ll do.”
I'm a small town girl with big dreams and a wild imagination. I'm addicted to coffee and writing. The combination is my idea of heaven. I read every day, if only to my young son, whom I hope to someday inspire with my passion for writing.
