“Redemption” by Traci Hunter Abramson
The story was absolutely intriguing and thrilling from beginning to end. I loved reading about the different characters from previous Saints Squad books. If you have not read any other books in this series I highly recommend them, but they can all be read as standalone stories.
I truly could not believe the change in Gage and how he was able to redeem himself and turn his life around. I liked getting to know the other main character Skyler and how she helped the Academy and Saint Squad in various ways. I liked seeing her and Gage’s friendship blossom as they worked together. I also liked briefly reading about Senator James Whitmore who is also mentioned in previous books. I hope there will be more books in the series so we can read more about these characters and Senator Whitmore.
This story had lots of drama, clean romance and suspense. I truly can’t say enough good things about this series… Once you start reading you won’t want to stop. I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Gage Stewart has spent five years trying to overcome his past. Once an abused and troubled teenager, he has worked tirelessly to move beyond the fateful day he was manipulated into holding a group of teenagers hostage. Now, with a new identity and a college degree in criminal psychology, he accepts an unlikely job teaching others what to do during mass shootings.
At the hotel where his class is held, Gage is immediately drawn to Skyler Prescott, the daughter of the wealthy hotel owner. Gage and Skyler quickly discover a shared desire for normalcy, and their easy friendship soon develops into something more. But after a night out ends in horror when a gunman opens fire in the crowded venue, they make an alarming discovery that threatens more than their relationship. The attack was little more than a publicity stunt to draw out the real target: presidential candidate Senator James Whitmore. Unwilling to become someone’s scapegoat, Gage must now work in tandem with the very men who ended his own life of crime before it began—the Saint Squad.
