Descent
Welcome back to the Adventure!
Crystal married Luke’s deadliest weapon…and that might have been a mistake.
Luke Lincoln, the mad Practitioner who tried to take over America, is gone. But Juda, the killing machine he created, and his eldest son, is now Crystal’s husband.
When an old prophecy is uncovered, it seems there may be a reason why Crystal and Juda chose each other. Their love was predicted, meant to be, but the prophecy also forecasts a terrifying role that Juda may play—unless he can resist his past and defy the very reason he was born.
Crystal thought her love was enough to redeem Juda and heal his deep wounds.
Now, it seems love may not be enough.
Then a new Practitioner bursts onto the scene. A ruthless blue-robed man called Roman who is not only deadly but wounded too. And those wounds fuel his unwavering drive.
But this time, it’s personal.
Crystal’s past enemies wanted America. Roman does too. But he also wants Crystal.
When Roman reveals a shocking secret, a lie buried deeply into Crystal’s lineage, she begins to question everything.
Life was beginning to get boring…
…which is exactly what Crystal and Juda wanted—no fighting, no dangerous Practitioners, just peace. Now they, and their team of unlikely everyday heroes, will have to fight their toughest battle yet.

We have waited a long time for this book, not even knowing that there would be another! Crystal and Juda are back! With even more problems to try to deal with. A new practitioner has come to light and he is bound and bent that he will usher in Neo Cosmos. I was so excited when I saw this book! I couldn't believe that the series that got me hooked on Ms. Benson's writing had a new book available! You don't want to miss this one! I wasn't sure that I would be able to remember very much from the series. It has been quite a while since I read it and have read a lot of others since then. But I had nothing to worry about! As soon as I started reading I was right back into knowing who everyone was. Ms. Benson does write this book in such a way that even if you haven't read any of the previous books you will get wrapped up in this one . If you like books that take you into the author's imagination of the occult and the way it is against Christianity, you will love this. There is lots of action and suspense and of course some romance! I love this authors books!

It was definitely a twist ..
Not what I expected from Juda’s character, because of his past, and what he stood for. Juda was persistent, it’s his love for Crystal that kept him going. He had soo much faith in God and trusted God. But in this story aahhh I think he became a character I didn’t recognize. I love the consistency with Crystal’s character, and if I remember correctly a year into Annabelle and Alejandro’s relationship they were good. In addition why kill Raul? I really disliked the part of Dan surprisingly turning out to be Crystal’s dad. After reading Lexi’s story that doesn’t suit her personality. Roman just could have been Luke’s estranged brother, or family member. Probably Will Dixon’s estranged son. Better yet Jaces unclaimed lost child. But that twist with him being abandoned and him being Crystal’s brother and Dan’s son was weird. But this book was ok, just not my favorite like all the others.

what ! what! what! Just Gobsmacked
Oh my goodness! Whew!! I had to catch my breath after reading that one!
I literally was on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, gobsmacked, falling out and at one point I just kept yelling What?! what! what, how? what!!!!!? I was way too caught up in the shocking revelations!
Until I reminded myself my kids we’re asleep and saw the disbelieving look my husband had when he realised all the noise was over a fiction book 🤣 he just doesn’t get it. But it’s so good I can’t even.😂 (you’d have to read the Beauty for Ashes series to fully understand)
Now sadly I have to wait for the next one as it ended in a cliffhanger and although we know how things go based on book 9 Legacy’s epilogue it still doesn’t satiate my appetite and excitement to have more Juda , Crystal and the gang.
I’m over here hooked like ‘more please’ Dayo!! Hurry!
PS. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves urban/warfare/supernatural Christian fiction. And if you haven’t read Dayo’s Beauty for Ashes series, (Crystal’s mom /Lexi Dixon’s story) and then Searchlight/Crystals series. Get on that now!
Sigh… I need more patience. Until then peace love and happy reading ❤️

I recommend this book to every newly weds.
Every book from Dayo Benson have always been something I look forward to devouring with all excitement and this was not an exception.
The thrill was from beginning to the end. When it ended, I wanted more.
I love how this book centred on God, how he helps, empowers and strengthens his children and not feeling them in the dark.
You haven't read this book yet! What are you waiting for. Grab a copy now dears! You will be glad you did.

Wow just Wow!!
Oh my goodness what a book what a series. This whole series has just been one twist and turn after another. Deep dark secrets of Chrystal’s family have emerged and are unbelievable. I don’t understand why this book took place after book 9?? It’s like it went back in time. I’m confused!! Why show how everyone’s lives turned out in the future in book 9 and then book 10 goes backwards. Please explain please Dayo Benson.

Wonderful
I am excited about the Crystal Series continuing. This is just an appetizer but I know it’s only going to get better and better. I am excited for the next installment. Dayo Benson I Thank God for you. Nothing compares to The Crystal Series and The Lincoln’s. I keep re-reading them all over and over.

No words....
I just finished this book, and I'm now praying hard that Dayo Benson writes fast. I need the next book, to know what happens! I'm so thrilled she's writing Crystal books again. They never disappoint!

Another Great One!
Bravo to Dayo Benson! She amazies me with each chapter. I have read all of her books and thought the Crystal series was completed. But this continuation Crystal's family secrets and her love for Juda is another amazing web that she is spinning.

Awesome Again
Unexpected surprises abound in this novel. I'm a fan of the series and this book did not disappoint. The only problem is that I have to wait until December for the next book 😣
