Absolution by Missy Johnson
5.0
I had a really strong feeling about Absolution before I even opened it. I love Missy Johnson’s work and knew with my whole being, that Absolution was going to rock my world. I had no idea that it would blow my mind, shatter me, yet complete me. Full circle.
Hannah and Declan both knew pain. After events directly involving Declan almost destroys Hannah, she tries to live her life one day at a time and devotes herself to helping others. She meets Declan after years of no contact, and struggle to do the right thing and to not see him as someone who deserves her forgiveness. The attraction grows quickly between them and it tears them both up. Declan is not in a position to act on his feelings and never expects that Hannah could ever feel anything but hate towards him.
Their struggles were mammoth and plentiful. The future looked so bleak that I was unsure if anything could possibly come of this this intense attraction they had for each other. I admired Hannah’s strength and her ability to want to risk it all because she cared. My heart hurt for them both, as their story was one of heartache, tragedy and monumental misunderstandings. It was like the world shone for everyone else, while their world had lost all colour. Their whole lives were changed due to horrible circumstances, but they still had the capacity to show empathy, compassion, courage and love. While Absolution wrecked me for most of the story, it is a book I became instantly absorbed in and one I will always remember.
Missy Johnson gives readers a story with a shocking, yet beautiful difference. Absolution will have you nervous, leave you breathless, have you crying rivers, break your heart, and anticipating the next shocking plot twist. It will leave you feeling like you have taken on the world. And WON! A story that is so fulfilling, it is a MUST read. It is not an easy read, but the best ones never are. Missy Johnson will make you work for your HEA. Let me share that Absolution is one of the BEST stories I have ever read. Missy Johnson books are always deeply emotional reads and make you feel like you have been put through the wringer, but at the end, you will sigh, take a little time to pull yourself together and reflect, then smile deliciously, thinking to yourself, “Now that was one mighty fine read.” And take a couple of days to get over the insane book hangover reading Missy’s books will cause. I always have serious difficulty finding another book to read after a Missy marathon. No book quite measures up for a while.
5 gigantic mega stars for this exhaustingly talented author and her heart's work.
