Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 22, 2012
The last installment to the Angels Among Us Trilogy was full of emotions, action, and very steamy scenes.It definitely ended the Angels Among Us books very well and also opened up a new installment that I know Elise Marion will make us love just like she did with the Angels.Nathaniel was a Warrior Angel at one time, until he fell in love and made the mistake of pursing that love.  He knew that he should not have fallen for the beautiful woman he met while dancing.  He knew his actions would lead him losing his wings forever and becoming one of the Fallen.  He could not stop his feelings for the beautiful woman though who captured his heart and now she needs his help more than ever...but he has been dealing with 7 years of not turning into the demon that he made himself become.Carmen Rodriguez has been trying to move on with her life with her son who is Nathaniel's.  She did not know that one night of passion would give her such an amazing son who now has Guardians looking after him since demons want her son to help them in their battle.  Her son is going to be one very powerful Naphil (half angel/half human).  His Guardians who are Sarah and Jackson will do about anything to keep himself.  He even has a Warrior Angel by the name of Reniel to keep him safe as well.Unfortunately, they were not prepared for what the demon who wants him for himself to open a portal and steal him in minced a battle.Now...Nathaniel has to help his past love to find their son and bring him back...and also help Carmen with her Oracle powers that she is still trying to learn.I could go on in the description of the book, but I will give too much away.  This is the final installment so I definitely do not want to give it away.Elise Marion definitely made the Angels Among Us go out with a bang.  She also picked the perfect characters to finish the trilogy as well.  She even brought in previous characters from "Tempted" since they played a vital role in this book.  Can I just say...I love Reniel from the previous book and now this book even more.  =)I felt a very close connection with the character, Carmen, since she is one strong female who can handle anything and she will do anything to get her son back.Nathaniel who had me fighting his demon from taking over was amazing as well.  He fought the hardest of them all because he did not want to become what Lucifer wanted him to be.The ending was epic and I definitely look forward to the spin-off series even more after getting a small glimpse into it at the end of "Redemption".  I was wondering since there was questions at the end that needed to be answered.Even the angels said there's more going on that needs to be finished.  Angels Among Us, just introduced us to three angels who fell in love and how they were able to live their lives with their loved ones.  There's a battle now that needs to be conquered...or should I say battles.Elise Marion definitely did not disappoint in the last book and it definitely had me crying as well.  I love her writing style since it is very descriptive, powerful, and emotional.If you have not read this trilogy yet, what are you waiting for.Warning though, you will miss the Angels after your done reading all 3 books.I was provided a complimentary copy of "Redemption" from the Author in exchange for an honest review.-FranJesscaBook Lovin' Mamas
