I love Kerrigan Byrne first book in her Banshees series and I didn't think she would be able to top it, but I'm pleased to say that I was wrong.  I adored this book."Redeemed" by Kerrigan Byrne picks up here from Book 1," Released" left off.  Once again, Kerrigan has written "Redeemed" so it can easily be read as a standalone.  Personally, I would highly recommend reading "Released" for the sheer pleasure.Kylah MacKay was brutally rape and burned to death a year before, along with her two sisters. Seeking revenge, they became Banshees, mythical ghost like beings who can kill with their scream.  Ever hear of the term, "screaming like a Banshee".  Except, now the men reasonable for their death are already dead by the hands of another, which means that Kylah's soul will belong to the Fae fairies since she can't complete her revenge in a year's time and her time was quickly running out.Being a Banshee, Kylah is drawn to negative emotions; this is where she meets the dark and mysterious Druid, Daroch McLeod. Daroch is a man on a mission.  He is out for revenge and he is so close. He has lived a life of solitude for many years, revenge consuming his life and he doesn't have time to deal with the tiny snip of a lass that just floated into his cave.  He wants her Gone!  Kylah on the other hand, become intrigued with Daroch and stays, driving him crazy with her questions and with his over whelming desire for her!From the moment Kylah and Daroch meet, there is non-stop tension and fireworks. I loved the dialog between these two wonderfully crafted characters. It was clever and witty.  As they learn more about each other, Kylah and Daroch form a sort of bond, each understanding the others need for revenge.When Daroch discovers the truth of how Kylah was killed and what he does next is so tender and heartwarming that it brought tears to this reader's eyes.  This is a turning point for the couple as Daroch starts stirring emotions within Kylah that she thought had died with her that fateful night.  The manner in which Kerrigan brought these two together was a touch of brilliance.It was at this point in the book that I was hanging on by the edge of my seat with anticipation as to what was going to happen.Was Daroch finally going to have his revenge?  What would happen to Kylah since she couldn't complete hers?  Can the two lovers have their Happy Ever After?True to Kerrigan Byrne style, just when you think there is no hope for these two wonderful characters, who by this point stole my heart, she pulls everything together in a nice little package, complete with a pretty bow on top!I breathlessly wait for the three and final book in the magnificent series!
