Review: A Nice Return to Stephanie Tyler’s Post-Chaos World
Rating: 4 out of 5

If you haven’t read the first two books in this series yet, I would strongly encourage you to go back and read them before reading Salvation. First, because they’re crack-a-licious. Second, because while this third installment does a good job of filling in the picture on characters introduced two books ago, I think it might not have as much punch if you hadn’t read those books.For those who have read the first two books in this series (Defiance and Redemption), I think you’ll find this a nice ride down memory lane with a few detours to keep it fresh. Salvation provides a look at the post Chaos world from outside the Redemption MC. We see a different side to this world. One in which, instead of huddling together as in the MC, folks are reduced to a hedonistic, live for the moment, and everyone for themselves mentality. We also get more hints about the wider world.The romance was mystical, but never in doubt. Luna and Bishop make a great couple, but the conflicts that could have come from their backgrounds brought them together instead of tearing them apart. I’m happy for them, of course, but I didn’t get the powerful punch I felt in the earlier books. Instead, I got a side romance between Delcan (Bishop’s ally) and Rebel (Luna’s ally), one that was mostly off screen and implied. It provided a good climax to the story and a chance to bring in the Defiance MC characters.
