Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Gabriella,  Darron,  Monte,  and Flora are ready to have the best
years of their lives.  They are graduating from highschool and looking
at their future and leaving the past behind.  They bound Richards
powers and thought the dark side was over.  Everything changes when
Gabriella meets her aunt Donna and cousin Meranda.  They came to ask
for help in locating Destiny,  a catatonic witch whose powerful
uncontrollable powers were bound.  The dark coven wishes to unleash
the power of Destiny and take over the world.
We are introduced to a few new characters in this 2nd book.  Donna is
the long lost aunt of Gabriella.  She has been trying to keep her
daughters safe from the dark coven for years.  Only when her daughter
is taken do we meet Donna.
Meranda is Donna’s daughter.  Her character is a bit snobby and cruel.
Only towards the end of the book do we find out her true personality.
Trevor is a witch in love with Destiny.  He plays as a shady character
leaving us wonder if he is good or bad.
Destiny is a catatonic witch.  She has never spoken a word.  Her
powers were bound when she was very young.  She is believed to be
evil.
Destiny Unveiled is a page turner that once you start cant be put
down.  It is a classic tale of good verses evil.  It shows how easy it
is for anyone,  even a mortal can subcum to the dark side.  You will
find yourself laughing at some of the scenes,  crying during the
emotional ones and wondering who is good and who is evil.  I honestly
could not figure out what was going to happen next.  The ending was
left open so we may or may not expect a 3rd, only Laura knows what’s
next!
If you have not read the first book Destiny I would suggest that you
read them in order.  Destiny introduces you to the characters and
their personalities.  The second book Destiny Unveiled does some
flashbacks to the first book too.  And it gives us a deeper insight
into Gabriella and Darrons family. However Laura DeLuca does a good
job off briefly updating her characters in the first few chapters,
and describing the flashbacks that Destiny Unveiled could be a stand
alone book.
I loved Destiny Unveiled and honestly found it to be a little bit more
enjoyable then the first.  I loved the artwork of the cover and its
hidden meaning.

Overall I give it a 5 out of 5 cocktails
