Editorial Reviews

From the Author

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO helped make Descension possible--you have continued to provide amazing love and support for Impassion, and I thank you for it again and again. Additionally, thank you to all my new readers for your avid enthusiasm. I love being able to share Layla's story with you, and I'm touched you're so passionate about reading it. To my editor, Kelly Schaub--thank you for your continued guidance and advice. Your editing and Oregon expertise is invaluable. To Jillian Dodd, a fellow author and an amazing woman--without knowing me, you have helped me too many times to count. Not only do I appreciate your advice more than I could possibly convey, I believe your kindness should serve as a lesson to us all. And last but not least, a great big thanks to Streetlight Graphics, who once again took my ideas and turned them into a beautiful cover.

B.C. Burgess was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma, fishing from muddy lakes and running barefoot down hot tar roads to climb trees with her friends. Though her roots run deep in the blue-collar neighborhoods of the Midwest, her head stays in the clouds, dreaming of her next adventure. She’s on a mission to travel the world, but when she’s home, she’s an emotional support human to her rescue dog Junebug. She loves her son, her family and her friends, but coffee is her soulmate. B.C. spent nearly two decades submerged in the world of fantasy, creating the magical tapestry of the Mystic Series, and she now looks forward to sharing the journey with you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I was Mystified
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    B.C. Burgess has done it again. She strapped me in for an invigorating roller coaster ride, the emotional highs and lows believably authentic. In Descension, the plethora of emotions Rose, Aedan, and their covens dealt with hit my heart with such force that I had to constantly remind myself that I wasn't actually experiencing/enduring the things they were.
    The same can be said about Impassion. I found myself anxious along with Layla at times and when her family showered her love and acceptance, I couldn't help but smile (I'm sure many of the people around me wondered why the heck I was grinning ear to ear so much, that I cared).
    Burgess has a unique talent--creating vivid images with her superb diction. She has an eye for beauty, this made evident through the world in which the wizards, witches and hexless live--whether it's the houses, fields, plants or people. Every once in a while I found myself closing my eyes, imagining running my fingers through some flowers or peering over cliffs and whatnot.

    Layla Love and Quin's relationship is one we all yearn to have. I for one love to see that relationship flourish throughout the story, despites the obstacles they and their coven encounter. It shows just how strong the bonds of love can be, just how little can stand up to that love once it is established.

    One other thing: Alana. Need I say more? She is so adorably cute! I loved her! Quite a few times I found myself wishing that
    I could reach into Impassion and snatch her out. I would be honored to be related to such a delightful little witch. Brietta and Sky are awesome too.

    Impassion was an amazing read. When I reached the last page, I was both satisfied and disappointed. I had such a great time with Layla, Quin and the entire clan, but once I realized our time was up, I couldn't help but be hungry for more. I can't wait for the next installment!

    Burgess effortlessly and gracefully slipped her way into my top 5 favorite authors and is now top Author to Watch For. If you haven't read Descension or Impassion, I only have one question: What are you waiting for?! You are definitely missing out. Check her out, that is unless you prefer not having books you want to get lost in and never be found.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quinsessed...
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I should probably note from the start that I am Quinsessed! I looked back and my "updates" on goodreads for this book and the first book and the only thing I noted, both times, was that I heart Quin! So, my reviews may have a biased slant toward Quin, but I think anyone else reading it will feel the same way.

    This series is quickly becoming one of my favorite PNR series!! B.C. Burgess has written a family we all wish was our own, an enemy we can all hate together and a couple we all want to get behind.

    Since this books picks up as soon as the last book ended, and it's not very long as far as time, Layla is still going through all the emotion of losing her mom (Katherine), moving across the country, finding a family she didn't know she had and all the emotions of reliving her parent's relationship...oh yeah, and the fact that she is a witch. Although being a witch is what she seems to be adapting to the best. She is also learning the dangers of being a twice bonded child.

    We also learn a little bit more about Quin, and I have to say - I for one am glad he wasn't this perfect guy just waiting for his dream girl to come along. He knew ever finding her would be a long shot and while he never gave his whole heart, I'm glad that B.C. Burgess didn't make him some super sexy virginal character, it would just not have been believable. Even in the short time they've been together, their interactions and reactions to each other and situations shows you so much of the bond that they are sharing.

    We also meet Finley, who I guess is throwing his hat in Layla's ring...however I don't trust him and because I'm Quinsessed, I want him gone... I think I know who he is, and if I'm right... well, let's just say I'm never going to be Team Finley! He does share something special with Layla though, so he could be a possible contender (here's hoping not!)

    A discussion board asked us to Vote between Finley and Quin and answer why... I of course chose Quin and my why is because I think they were born to be together! I hope I am right!!! :)

    All in all I thought this was a great follow-up and it definitely left me wanting more!

    I enjoy these books thus far but I think I'll be surly dissapointed if the stranger is as obvious as it seems to be at this point.... still awesome reason either way but if it's the case there probably didn't need to be the mystery. I have a feeling I'll find out in the next book
