I had been waiting, rather impatiently because I love the series so much, for the next chapter in the lives of Jo and Cormack, and was not disappointed when I finally got my hands on REDEMPTION. As with the first three books in the series I was immediately pulled into the story from the first page read and there was no putting this baby down until the last page was turned. Pure entertainment is what you should expect when reading any book by Ms. Augustine. If you've not been following the Alchemy Series you are going to want to start with THE KEEPERS. This is one series you are definitely going to want to read in order so as not to miss any of the background story.Talk about saving the best for last, REDEMPTION is a prime example! Don’t get me wrong. All of the books are amazing reads. It’s just that Jo has never been so hilariously sarcastic and Cormack, while still the hottest of the bad, opens up a tiny bit and reveals a more vulnerable side. He still does the guy thing where he doesn't share as much as he should. But by the same token, Jo does the girl thing and wants it all her way in a relationship. Ahgghh, I wanted to scream at them to stop and just listen to each other for one minute!! Yeah, I realize these are characters in a book. That’s the beauty of it, they come alive for me! They feel real, say real things, and have real emotions. It’s not just the main characters that come across this way. Everyone, every creature, and everything in the book give you the same feeling, that they are living their lives in a different dimension somewhere out there in the great mystery of the universe.Cannot emphases enough that is one series you do not want to miss! I know that REDEMPTION is supposed to be the last book in the series but I truly hope Ms. Augustine rethinks this. There is still so much more that Jo, Cormack, and the rest of the crew can tackle in this new and changed world. Sure, the ending is wrapped up nicely….BUT….more, we need more!This is a very easy book to HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older.
