Original Review posted at Sizzling Hot YA BooksFrom the beginning of this series, I have been all things addicted to Rachel Clancey’s Warrior world. Redemption (bk four)  lived up to and exceeded every single book I’ve ever read from Ms. Royce so far. (adult and young adult books alike) Everything inside the pages of Redemption seemed to bring the world that Rachel lived in, together…finally! The past with the present, the connections of all the characters; I got answers that needed answering (Love it when that happens by the way) and in turn got out of the enormous book slump that I’ve been buried in lately. Of course I could count on Ms. Royce for that. She’s yet to let me down.Rachel’s back, but everyone around her that she loves has no idea who she is. She made a deal with Ichan(that all things EVIL excuse for a man) to bring back the cloned version of her mom and ex-boyfriend Chad. But in return nobody would remember her. Rachel, being the awesome, selfless heroine that she is, let that happen, with little regret. Why would she when everyone she loved would be alive and well? But there is one person who remembers her. Her friend Tia. Also, the one person everyone thinks is crazy. Rachel is on the road to redemption, wanting to right the wrongs that have hit her. First up, murdering Jason…her supposed wolf mate.Jason, Jason, Jason. The first boy from this series that I truly loved. I hated him in the last book, and then mildly liked until…well, you’ll see. I was not surprised with the way his storyline ended up, let’s just say that.Then there was Deacon. Oh, boy. I truly fell for him in the previous book, but out of everyone who starts to remember Rachel, he seems to be the ONLY one that is stuck under Ichan’s evil ruling and can’t get his head wrapped around the fact that this was a girl he was once in love with. I really was sad about this, heart broken to be honest.But alas, my favorite boy came back–in a way—and this time he’s here to stay.Chad… le’sigh. I love him like he’s mine. He’s crazy protective, loves Rachel with everything he has—always has to be honest–and has fought for her survival from the beginning. Out of all the boys who have been in and out of Rachel’s life, he is the one for me. I just hope Ms. Royce doesn’t break my heart in the final book because I might just start a fan girl riot here.Redemption was absolutely amazing, having all the qualities I look for in my YA Dystopian/Paranormal novels. Adorable, fiesty heroine Rachel, swoon worthy boys, and a plot that NEVER seems to end with it’s twists and turns. Ms. Royce has a writing style that will suck you in and never let you go, even after the pages have ended. These characters will stick with you. The things they endure? Yeah, my heart breaks a little each time I read one of Rachel’s books. She truly has to be one of my most favorite YA heroines out there. Redemption definitely takes a spot in my top five YA’s this year. There was NOTHING about this story that  would change–absolutely flawless. Truly, if you haven’t jumped on board with The Warrior Series, then you are missing out, trust me on this one.
