Okay...I have to take a deep breath and reach for a few tissues as I write this review.First off, I am so sad that this is the end of the Redemption series! I have been devouring these books since the first one came out and am sad to say goodbye to Marcas and Dayton. However, I am so happy with the way it ended and how Ryals managed to create a happy ending that fit nicely into that gray area of middle ground between black and white. Two people, half angel and half demon got their chance at happiness.This, of course did not come easy and I fought with Marcas and Dayton in my mind the entire time, rooting for them to succeed. Some of my favorite Marcas/Dayton moments have happened during times when they were in danger, because it is in these moments that Marcas truly shines as a hero. Yes he is dark and brooding, and in the first two books you had to kind of feel him out. you had to read the emotion behind his emotionless expressions and words. but what I loved about this book, was that he opened up a lot. It was as though almost losing her to Damon between the second and third books put the fire in him. He became so endearingly possessive of Dayton (more so, I think, than in the first two books), and turned into a romantic right in front of my eyes. He kept saying things like, "if you fall, I fall", or "I will never forsake you"....and Goddangit I just about melted into a puddle! I love the way he loves her, and in this book I loved the way he showed it. I also loved how Dayton came fully into her power. In the first two books we have watched her struggle and strain, fighting for control of power she didn't completely understand. Between books 2 and 3 I saw my girl really come into her own and gain confidence and independence.The ending was soul-stirring and left a lot of angels open for possible spin-offs which I look forward to reading! I will be moving on to those books if for no other reason than to possibly catch a glimpse of Marcas and Dayton!
