I have appreciated Bryan Stevenson ever since I saw his TED Talk years ago.

This story highlights in stark and human terms how broken our criminal justice system truly is. 

Drive Me Crazy by Leaona Luxx

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Luxx threw my emotions into a tailspin. Ridge and Harper are young lovers faced with adult heartache. What began as friendship, quickly spirals out of control in the most heartbreaking of ways. Will the lessons they learned the first time around help them survive their second chance? Drive me Crazy is rollercoaster ride. These characters will bleed you dry before breathing new life into your soul. 

The Taste of Redemption by I.A. Dice

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Just when it feels like a heart can't take anymore, Thomas and Nadia are back to prove you wrong. The Sound of Salvation was the start of an emotional whirlwind. The Taste of Redemption is the culmination of an unfinished heartache. Dice has the courage to take emotions where the soul fears to tread. Thomas and Nadia step into the shadows to find a hint of light. It's hard to figure out who the broken one is. I thought I was all cried out. Turns out I was just getting started.

Midnight Redemption is the finale of the Bonded by Blood series and you are in for an explosive, non-stop-action read!

Although you could read this as a standalone, I do believe you would get the most out of it if you do read it as a series. After all, characters and previous lives are mentioned (some in great detail) so I think it would help to know just what is going on and who is who!

Anyway, things have changed a lot since the last book. Broderick buried himself in a crypt, thinking he was doing the right thing. Anthony has been carrying on with the business. Davina thought her mum was insane and said mum ended up in a mental hospital. Phew! And into that numerous characters from other books including the Norse Wolves (yey!!!!) and there really is so much going on.

This is one helluva finale! One I have waited for and am NOT disappointed in the result. The only thing I would say is that because of the previous lives mentioned I sometimes got confused. All that means though is that I will be re-reading this as a complete series now it is complete - to get the full enjoyment, you understand!

Midnight Eclipse is still my favourite in the series but this one comes a close second. Absolutely recommended by me!
