A Fire Fairy Review
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
Redemption is the 2nd book of Julie Morgan's Chronicles of the Fallen series and is a continuation of Alex and Lisa's story. In this follow up book, Lisa finds herself pregnant with Alex's baby. Because Alex is a hybrid (an angel-demon), both the angels and the demons are interested with the baby. Alex must protect Lisa and the babyat all cost. But he's finding it harder and harder to keep his demon side in check. Adding to the problems are Lisa's nightmares and changes as she prepares for her baby's birth.
This book is really good! I enjoyed reading the book so much that I finished it in one sitting. Story-wise, this is more fun than the first book. Probably because Redemption has more characters to like and more humor was infused in the book. Romance-wise, this has less steam than Fallen. But I guess that's because sex and lust were very important aspects in the first book's plot. And I found Samuel very sexy in Fallen.
In Redemption, although there are more angels present, my favorite would be the demon Gorgon. She's both good and bad and she's got the spunk that I like in strong female characters. I was both sad and happy at what happened to her in the end.
I'm giving Redemption 4.5 fairy wings because it is a very good book. I love it but it didn't have me gushing with praises because... Well it didn't. It's not that type of book. It's a book where you'll get drawn into the story and smile contentedly after you finish reading because you just know you read an awesome book. I recommend this to all Paranormal Romance readers.
I'm looking forward to the 3rd book. I like the teaser at the last chapter of this book. Enough to tell me that I'll see more of sexy Samuel (I hate him in this book, though) and probably it will be his story in the next installment.
"Suddenly everything comes to a stop. She looks around their surroundings and her eyes try to focus, finding nothing but blackness. A soft light appears in front of her. It begins to grow and pushes outward, claiming the darkness surrounding it. It continues to widen until light from the field begins to pour inside, illuminating Lisa and her surroundings. Her eyes peer through the portal and it's as if she were looking through water. The image is distorted and continues to move like a constant wake in still waters. She sees Gorgon to her right and she looks over, watching the demon next to her. Lisa's eyes trail down the demon's body then slowly, back up. You fuck this up, I will kill you.Gorgon raises her brows, turning her body towards Lisa. She says, I'd like to see you try. She crosses her arms over her chest and glances back towards the portal doorway. But before you go down that route, we need to set a plan for how we'll do this. I can give you an idea of what we'll be facing, but honestly, I have no idea. I don't know the numbers of what you'll be up against. She lowers her gaze; then looks up slowly to Lisa. For what it's worth, I am sorry. And your son.Lisa cuts her off. What I'll be up against? No, I don't think so. You are part of this too. And don't pretend to know anything about my son.Gorgon simply nods and looks back out the portal. You're right. I am part of this. And all I was going to say is he's amazing. She lets it go. She furrows brows, steps forward, and looks through the distorted water. Demons and angels chase one another, fighting, swords clash and power is sent across the field. Bright colors of the many auras light up on the field like lightning strikes. Gorgon tries to focus on one of the images that is taking on an attack stance. Lisa?Yeah, I see it. Lisa steps forward. The image is still muddled by the waves but she can make out Alex. He stalks forward in a stance of attack. Lisa looks at who he's pursuing and she gasps when she realizes it's Michael. Quickly, she looks back at Alex sees another man at his side. Her eyes widen in shock. What the Hell? Is that Samuel? Michael continues his backtracking and waves something long and shiny over his head. She begins to step out and Gorgon grabs her arm, stopping her.Samuel is very strong. If he's already taken Alex's light
He has. Lisa looks at the demon. I know you knew he'd do this. I know you were his accomplice. And I also know you grew a conscience around us and turned yourself in.What? Gorgon blinks; taken aback. How What She bites back the words she wants to say, she helped orchestrate this, she killed off the demon Xander, she killed off Mariah when her human was annoying her. Instead, she keeps her thoughts to herself.You know exactly how I know. She looks at the demon and raises a single brow, daring her to object.Alright. is all Gorgon says, then she looks back out at the field. Then let me go first. I can be a diversion, for you to get to Alex and get out of here.No. Lisa pulls her arm free from Gorgon. Let me. They'll never see me coming. She turns back to Gorgon. I still hate what you are, but what you did? Obviously I forgive you. As for you willingly volunteering to protect my son thank you.Gorgon blinks at her, not sure what to say. Instead, she nods slightly, then they both look towards the field. I promise I'll have your back. No matter what. Lisa keeps her eyes on the fighting in the field and nods.You better, she tells the demon. Michael stumbles over a tree root and falls back on his ass. The two demons sneer down at him and Alex is about to lunge. Lisa and Gorgon step forward and as Lisa is about to step through to make herself known, Samuel sneers and holds an orb of golden light in front of him. She pauses long enough to realize this is Alex's soul. Her eyes widen as he brings up his free hand, holding a dagger. She shifts her gaze and watches Alex prepare to jump on Michael. Moving on instinct, she barrels out of the portal. Lisa pushes her hands out in front of her and a bright, purple light explodes from her as she screams, NO!!!!"
