Snapped #2
Snapped 2: The Redemption
The night Army Specialist Merlin Mills's identical twin brother, Gavin, slept with his wife, everything changed. Now Merlin must come to grips with the fact that Cojo may be carrying his brother's child. For Gina Meadows, Merlin's mother, it's a brutal reminder of the dysfunction that has always plagued her family. Tension escalates when Gina pops up pregnant after a night of drunken revelry, and an icy finger points to her deviant son as the father. The drama that ensues forces them all to take stock of their lives.
Hurt, angry, and confused, Merlin is caught up in a complex struggle between yesterday and today; between a mistress who wants to give him real love and a wife who doesn't know how; between nasty lies and secrets and their life-altering revelations. In his struggle to mend a marriage that is as fragile as a cobweb, Merlin learns that the past, present, and future are tangled in a knot that he can never unravel.
"Absorbing. Pupil-dilating. Utterly consuming. Better check your pulse after this one. Tina Brooks Mckinney serves up a multilayered family scandal that is sure to take your breath away."
---Oasis & Mrs. Oasis, authors of White Heat

This book knocked my socks off !!!
I seriously was vested into this story the ending I didn’t too much care for I felt it was too many open ended stories but other than that it was good

This went left with Tabitha..it was crazy that it was her..How in the hell did Gina allow Ronald to get away with being gone all those years?? That was not even remotely believeable..The Gavin storyline felt dropped...Meredith's storyline was left..What was the deal with Young?? So many questions.

A great finishing touch from Snapped. It was a drama filled listen. Gavin had the potential to be the father of 3 and ended with 1. Alot of drama between Merlin, Cojo, Gina, Tabitha, Angie, and Gavin.

Great Book
This was a roller coaster book. Never a dull moment. Drama and more drama. I would recommend this book to read.

Tina Brooks McKinney has done it again!! Snapped 2 - The Redemption picked up right where Snapped left off. This book drew me in from the first page to the last one. I had to keep reading as I wanted to know how this story was going to unfold. Secrets revealed, forgiveness, drama, and Tina left it open to expand on some of the characters in the future (hint). Loved this book as I love all of Tina's work!! Please pick up this book if you have not already as you will not be disappointed!

I really liked this book. Usually I do not like sequels to books, but Ms. McKinney can continue with this saga.
