Goodreads Blurb:
 Gabriella and Darron thought their magickal battle was over when they defeated the evil warlock, Richard. When her Aunt Donna seeks Gabriella's help in rescuing her catatonic daughter from the Dark Coven, Gabriella discovers that her cousin holds a power within her that would be catastrophic in the hands of the evil witches. Gabriella's coven sets out on a journey that may be their last. Along the way, they meet new allies, face devastating treachery, and battle not only the Dark Coven, but the darkness within themselves. When Gabriella finally comes face to face with the cousin she never knew existed, her true destiny is unveiled, and the fate of the mortal world is in her hands. 

 
A great continuation from Destiny (book 1 in the series); it continued to be exciting and magical, actually even more so! Even though this book is written as a continuation it can definitely be read as a stand-alone with the reader still able to get the full impact of what the author presents. Another book that many fans of the genre are sure to fully enjoy!

Gabriella has now accepted all that was once buried deep and has also grown to be very powerful in the short time of having her full power. Thinking they are all finally safe from the evil warlock, witches and battling. They start to get back to living normally (well as normal as witches possibly can) when Gabrielle is approached by a woman she finds out is her aunt and is asked by her to help get her daughter (Gabriella’s cousin) back from the evil clutches of the coven they all thought would be at rest. Now Gabrielle, Darron and their loyal friends find themselves in another battle, one they are not so sure they can win.

All in all a very satisfying read that feeds to the reader’s imagination and pulls them into the pages for a thrilling emotional adventure. I look forward to more work from Laura DeLuca and wonder if she plans to make another book in the Destiny series :)

Blurb:  

Gabriella is a witch. The problem is, she doesn't remember. She repressed the memories of her powers years ago when her mother was murdered. Now, the warlock who was responsible for her mother's death has set his sights on Gabriella. He is determined to use her fear to turn her to the dark side of magick…even if it kills her. Her mother's spirit is reaching out to warn her, but even that she pushes away. Desperate to save her daughter, the spirit finds a male witch–one that just happens to be in love with Gabriella. Darron is more than willing to help but the two young witches will have way more to battle than just an evil warlock. There are overbearing jocks and petty rich girls who get tempers flaring and often set Gabrielle and Darron at odds.

There is more to the story than Gabrielle and Darron could even imagine. There are terrible secrets to be revealed, battles to be waged, and lives will be lost. Only after Gabrielle and Darron both come to terms with who they really are, and open themselves up to the true meaning of magick, can they have any hope of fulfilling their destiny.

 An exciting, magical and vividly written YA paranormal romance that many fans of the genre will sure enjoy!

Gabrielle lost her mother many years ago and though unaware, her memories right along with her. These memories are of very great importance to her wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of many others around her because right along with her memories, are her powers which also remain hidden deep and she requires them both if she is to survive. Now she just needs to learn and accept her true calling that she persistently denies to no end. Even after Darren offers his help and gives her proof of the reality of the situation and their powers.

Destiny has great characters, all are very lovable (well except for the bad guy, but even he was likeable, sometimes).There is also excellent character growth and learning experiences all while maintaining a touching and action packed read. I look forward to reading the next in the series to see what blossoms and what fizzles :)
