The first book was great and the second book was even better but Redeem Me blew it out of the park! There was so much action! So much happened in such a short amount of time that I just don't have words. It's that good. I think I'm gonna have to beg for Destroy Me to come quicker after that ending!

This one was a HUGE improvement from the last two books. I’m glad I decided to forge forward with the series because it’s getting good now.

In this installment Rose and the guys are working with Azrael to build an army to fight against Azrael’s twin Raphael. They are traveling the world to recruit as many vampires as they can to join the cause. As they do this, Rose finds herself more drawn to Azrael and an attraction between them is becoming harder to deny.

Although it hasn’t officially happened yet, it seems that this series is moving towards adding Azrael to the harem. In this book him and Rose have a few steamy kissing moments and I’m not sure how I feel about that. First off, she hasn’t told the guys about it so it feels like she’s cheating on them.

Also, I don’t know how I feel about adding Azrael to the harem in general. On the one hand I really like Azrael almost better than any of the other guys. I also understand the vampire culture in this world being reverse-harem-driven because of the rarity of female vampires. However, I’m not a big fan of open polyamorous relationships (like Anita Blake) so much as a closed reverse harem relationship which has a set amount of guys sort of determined at the beginning. It feels less like cheating when it’s setup like this in my mind.

So we will see where that goes. I have mixed feelings about it.

Still, like I said above this book was so much better. There was a lot more excitement and pushing the plot forward and that was a lot of fun. A lot more on the edge of your seat type of feel and I enjoyed that a lot.

I do still have a few of the same issues that I had with the first two books though:

1. Rose has a very better-than-everyone-else type of personality. She constantly belittles the guys and makes them sound weak and unable to take care of her (or themselves), whereas SHE can take care of herself and them. She basically treats them like babies and I hate this about her. It also makes THEM less appealing to me.

2. Other than for Rose (and a little for Azrael too), there has still been virtually no character building done for the three guys in the harem. They just feel like warm (or rather cold) bodies in the background. This makes it hard for me to feel a connection to them. The author has spent a lot of time on Rose’s personality and also developing Azrael’s character, but not so much the other guys. Like what was up with Blake’s tired and dour mood in this one? It seems like something is wrong with him but we aren’t told what. I can’t connect to characters I don’t know!

3. Like the other books, this one also had some editing errors. I can honestly look past these if the book is good enough, but it still seems a little unprofessional.

Overall though this book was a huge improvement from the last two. It’s a lot more exciting and I’m looking forward to diving into the last book a lot more than I was for this one.

P.S. Why didn’t I stop at the last book if I didn’t like it? Because…vampire reverse harem with m/m action! Need I say more? That’s not an easy thing to find!

P.P.S. You know what would’ve been a crazy twist? If Raphael and Azrael had actually been the same person all along! Dun dun dun! I know that’s not the case because we’ve seen them together, but it still would’ve been a cool twist. Also I like Azrael so that would be sad, but it would still be a crazy twist!

I can't believe she got out of there. I was worried that she would't get out at all. I feel bad that she left them there to but I get it. I feel bad for Azarel since she was starting to like him a little and now that is all put to the side.

The plot holes are just overwhelming. The biggest being there’s supposedly a supernatural council that polices them all yet the big bad has gotten away with all this crap? Like not once does this council that’s been mentioned ever show up. It just doesn’t make sense.

On the plus side, it’s at least been edited unlike the other reviewers. So it wasn’t THAT bad grammatically. That’s something I guess.

Omg this story just keeps getting deeper and these cliffhangers are killer. Rose and the guys sure have a lot of work ahead of them including keeping rose in one piece. I can't wait to see how this ends.
