Review: Fantastic conclusion to an excellent series

I really enjoyed the first two books in the Redemption series, but I hadn't realized how emotionally involved I'd gotten in Dayton and Marcas' story until I started reading Retribution. From the first chapter, this book is essentially a climax of the trilogy. It's going to be a struggle to review without spoilers, but if you had any love for the other books, this one will complete you.After everything they've gone through, Dayton has been stolen by Damon and she and Marcas are separated but still bound. But that is only the beginning of the challenges they'll have to face. The action slams into you right away and doesn't let go until the end. The tension and suspense keeps up through the entire book, sometimes at a fevered pitch, so plan on taking a few days off to read it straight trough.And I don't want to spoil it for you, but there was one section so good, I literally stopped, backed up, and re-read it three times. You'll know it when you see it ;)The characters have each grown through the series and I'm truly sad to see it end. However, the author does a lovely thing in giving us a glimpse of what the future holds for all of them, together or separately, and their happily ever afters (or not). I honestly would have been more upset by the conclusion of this series, but I love The Acropolis, a kind of sister series, and know I'll get a chance to spend more time with the characters I love. Five stars.
