First and foremost, I truly need to thank Author Regina Ryals (RK Ryals) for the wonderful "GIFT" and opportunity to read each one of her books thus far. I am so in love with the "Redemption Trilogy" from the very first book. And to follow is my fair and unbiased opinion in a review after reading this marvel..Love can overcome many odds. And while this emotion is worth many trials and tribulations, it can also lead to death.~Bezaliel~It is love that is forbidden.... Dayton Blainey is thte only sane Naphil ever to walk the face of the earth, and she's in love with a demon that she's been bound to by blood.Can love triumph over fate??? Marcas Craig is the Demon son of Lilith and Cain. He has a destiny he has turned his back on for Dayton.There is only one choice... Kidnapped by Marcas' insane brother Damon, Dayton has become a pawn in Damon's fanatical attempt at securing his own redemption. The Seal is now in the hands of a mad Demon, there is a civil war brewing in Hell, and Dayton and Marcas's love could destroy Earth.In the end, will love conquer all? With Marcas now trapped within the rind (The Seal), their binding severed - Dayton also lost his strength and powers. She must face her battles as one... with only HER powers to fight with. Will it be enough?Her only connection to Marcas now was The Seal, that she now wore and refused to relinquish back to Sophia - the keeper/protector of the Seal.The only way Dayton would give up The Seal was if Sophia killed her!!! (not a good sign considering the conflicts the two of them already had)With Monroe's wiccan protection spell surrounding them, and Connor's protection of stone the battle begins... it's a vicious attack coming from Sophia, which caught Dayton off guard, SO strong and powerful.My daughter is a Naphil, a half - human child sired by a Angel. Nephilim have long since been considered the insane, blood thirsty offspring of Angels who desired human relationships. My daughter is different, she was born to a mother with blessed blood. But, in the end, no matter how different, my daughter is still a Naphil.~Bezaliel~Regina weaves a world of love, strength, convictions of determination, oh and so much more for us the readers of this spectacular series...I am still reeling from the many heart wrenching moments found in Retribution.The "breath holding" parts where once more Marcas has to endure the fierce trials which Lucifer deals him, but this time he's not alone- yes you may have guessed it, Dayton - our headstrong Angel is right by his side, going through each and everyone of the trials that Marcas has to endure. GO DAYTON !!!!Dayton has found her full powers, gaining conviction in her independence of making her own choices - confidence in who she is, and what she had the strength to do; both mentally and physically.I don't want to say good-bye to Dayton and Marcas!!!! *shakes head* They have a whole new challenge in front of them... facing them together by choice, for the belief of their love of one another. Then of course with the "bind/bond" of their souls once more, where Marcas goes, Dayton goes and vice versa where Dayton goes, Marcas goes too.Out of so much diversity, Author RK Ryals has created a spectacular happy ending, keeping our Marcas and Dayton together. *jumps up, and hollers woot woot*Together, Not in Heaven or in Hell, but in the outer gray area, a middle/outer circle between black and white, and good and evil, as Marcas now leads his own kingdom with his beloved beautiful Angel Dayton by his side...Two different souls, from opposite sides of our world; One half Angel, the other half Demon, together they have their chance at the happiness and love that they fought so hard to achieve!!! Horray for Marcas and Dayton.As one series ends, another will start.. There's Connor, Monroe, the fallen and hybrids to dive into still. So with that being said, I'm off to start the next adventure in the new series of Acropolis....If you've yet to start the Redemption Trilogy, you really are missing out on one heck of an amazing story that is being written by the mastermind of the phenomenal author RK Ryals.HAPPY READING EVERYONE...Redemption TrilogyRedemptionRansomRetributionA Must Read series!!!Recommend: YA and upRating: 5/5 angel starsAngel Anne Reviews
