Redemption by Traci Hunter Abramson
5.0
The previous ten Saint Squad books are engaging reads and books you read again and again. Redemption was no exception to that. Traci has a wonderful way of interweaving many different characters into one storyline. I really liked having the antagonists side, Gage (Eric) and Skyler's point of view, and the Saint Squad view. It brings a lot of insight to how everyone would react in different situations throughout the book.
I really liked that Gage (Eric Rhodes from book two, Lockdown) was brought back into the world, now as a young adult, college grad, and new person. I enjoyed that Traci gave him the chance to move forward and close his story. Skyler was a good character to be introduced to as well. She had a gritty gentleness about her. She was kind, but also knew when and how to stand up for herself and her needs. I think we could use more Skyler's in the world, personally. Tristan and Riley, being the spotlighted members of the Saint Squad cast, was nice to have. I enjoyed their story, Lockdown, and seeing them as a family years down the road is fulfilling.
The story was filled with suspense and a sweet, tender budding relationship. I felt like the climax was well done and filled with great detail that I could see it in my imagination as I read. Traci always does a really good job with these types of scenes. The only thing for me was that I felt like it ended a bit abruptly. However, I think that was mostly due to the format I was reading it on. I didn't see a progress bar or see physical pages to know it was coming, and that more than likely took me off guard. Even though I had wished for just a little more at the end, it was still a very satisfying way to finish that story. It felt finished and completed, which I highly appreciate.
The suspense is just building in this world! I can just see something big coming up and you better believe I will be ready when it comes out. Traci has yet to write something I haven't liked. I will keep coming back every time.
This is in my top reads pile for sure. 5 star rating.
