First Impressions
Deep Redemption is the fourth installment in the "Hades Hangmen" series and it feels like forever since I was in this series and I am not sure why it took me so long, well I kinda do, I knew this book would be angsty as all get out and would be one of the darkest books in the series. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I entered this book but this one completely threw me for a emotional loop. It had me hooked, line and sinker from the very beginning. There was something so compelling about the beginning of this book and I knew I would be in for a wild ride. If you think you know what to expect with this book, you are completely wrong. You definitely don't know what you are getting into with this one here. There are so many twists and turns and I guarantee that this book will turn you upside down and sideways just on a emotional level, this book completely TORE ME UP! And I am not okay!
First Line
Hades' soulless black eyes stared down at me
The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Prophet Cain (aka Rider)
Once part of the Hades Hangmen MC, born to be the leader of the religious cult, seeking redemption for his sins against the innocent
The Heroine: Harmony (cursed daughters of Eve)
Born into the cult, but was destined for more. She is courageous and strong and has a sweet forgiving soul.
Summary
Rider was raised to be seperated from the religious cult he was born into it. He is a twin and was always expected to be the Prophet Cain. He was convinced to infiltrate the MC "Hades Hangmen" but what he discovered there was a brotherhood and family and a beautiful life he could have had. But his vows he thought were of worth but when he discovers that the religious cult that he has believed in all of his life is not what he expected, he is determined to get redemption for. He is betrayed by his twin and tortured to fall into line with what the cult actually is. But his twin is literally insane and when in his prison he meets a beauty of grace and love and courage, he quickly falls hard for Harmony. Harmony has always known what she was destined for, and in order to save those that she loves, she needs to make the sacrifice to be the bride for Rider's twin. But when she falls hard for this strong man packed with sins and fight, she is willing to stand by his side and fight with and for him...
What I Loved
Deep Redemption is a story that I didn't expect to fall hard for. I expected this book to be a regular solid read like the previous three books were for me, but this book completely threw me off the field with his destruction and beautiful epic love I never thought that I would find. This is a story that is so much about redemption, healing and forgiveness and finding love when you least expect it. Seeing this villain of sorts find his redemption story was so heartfelt. You see his confusion, his pain, his soul being torn into two and at a loss at what to do. And once he finds the truth, he does what is needed. I really adored Rider's story and it was everything I could have hoped for and more.
Seeing Rider and Harmony come together was so precious. These two souls that are so caught up in the deception and lies and sacrifice will entangle your heart so completely. This is not an easy one to read, but its a romance that is worth your heart and focus. What Rider is willing to sacrifice for his woman leaves one humbled. This book is HIS journey and what a road he goes on here. And it doesn't end when he is determined to get free of the cult. He also has to make amends with the Hades Hangmen MC and in doing so it will tear the club apart literally. It broke my heart seeing what the MC puts him through but also what our strong women so far stand for their sister and for Rider who may not have participated in their suffering but was complicet. But for them to stand by his side because Harmony loves him and will sacrifice herself for him strikes deep to the soul. We still don't know what will happen to Rider and Harmony fully, I am hoping we get those answers in the upcoming books though. But despite the HFN type of ending, it still left me swoony and satisfied.
What I Struggled With
Other than a more satisfied ending but its still a five star! bUT *CROSSING FINGERS* we see this couple find the happy ending they deserve.
Overall View
Deep Redemption is a dark romance that bleeds heart and soul on every page. Its a story that delivers the pain....the heart...and the truest redemption you can find in a romance! COMPELLING IN EVERY MOMENT!
Favorite Quote(s)
"I'm not good," he argued. "I don't believe that."
I smiled. Pressing my forehead to his, I said, "Then I will believe it for you."
"I would gladly be his redemption, if he would finally forgive himself first."
"I...I have no home," he said sadly.
Taking his hand from my face, I placed it over my racing heart. "Yes you do. Your home is right here."
She credited me with saving her life when really, she had saved me in every single way possible. She gave me life when she spoke to me through that stone wall. She gave me hope when she wanted me despite who I was. And she fought the Hangmen for me when I should have died.
I focused on solely on the moment, letting the past drift away. Because only this was important. No religion, no duty, no clubβ¦just us. JUST HER.
The woman in my arms.
My heart. My soulβ¦MY DEEPEST REDEMPTION.
