About the author

Hmmm so something interesting about myself eh? Well let's see. I live in small town Missouri and I grew up in an even smaller town. I am happily married with two sons. I am the eldest of three as well as the only girl. We are a very tight knit family and my brothers are my best friends. I believe friends are important in life and everyone needs at least one.

I have loved to write for as long as I can remember. I DO NOT write for the money. I write because so many authors over the years have taken me to so many wonderful places; from tropical islands, to swash buckling adventures; from the twisted mind of a psyco, to the magical world of witches, vampires and fairies. My wish is that I can create a world someone can get lost in, if only for just a few hours. I write all types of stories. Paranormal, murder mystery, pirate adventures, and westerns. Most will have some sort of romance in them, but that is usually not the main focus.

While writing is my passion, it is not my only one. I also make and decorate cakes, but my most important accomplishments in my life are my kids and my husband. Without them I would not be able to do what I love to do.

Feel free to contact me i would love to hear from you;

The battle for Earth has begun. Lilith's reign must be aborted at all costs, or humanity will cease to exist. The Chosen have been given a second chance in preventing what's to come. Unfortunately, banding together in order to achieve the task they've been given is anything but easy.

Angie has now set off a series of events that might just bring down a great calamity upon the world itself. The Arc's, however, won't take things lightly. Although her humanity is still in question, part of Angie wonders if she's doing the right thing by embracing her dark side. The price she knows she must some day pay for the deceit she's unleashed might not be one she wants to really pay. Sadly, she has no choice in the matter, and must follow through on the path she's now treading.

Angie's loss is felt by each and every one of The Chosen. They know she made her own choice when she decided to embrace her demonic half, but it's still a bitter pill to swallow. Blaze feels the pain of her betrayal, most of all. In his heart, Angie meant everything to him. He would have done anything to help her retain her humanity. Part of him knows she's lost to him, but another part still holds out the hope of being able to make her see sense in the situation they now find themselves in.

As time continues to dwindle, the group does their best to make sense of the chaos that has now ensued. Lilith is slowly gaining the upper hand, something they know they must prevent. They cannot allow her to win the battle. Deep inside, they know they must set aside their differences, and reconcile their tattered allegiances if they're to succeed in banishing her, once and for all.

This was both a heart-warming and heart-wrenching read for this lovely series. We get to see new faces and old, as well as ride a very heavy-set emotional roller coaster that will leave you wondering as to what comes next. I was sort of sad to see the book come to a close as it did, but I think Christine did a very nice job in finally tying off all of those loose ends from books one and two. This is a very endearing and unique series whose characters will get under your skin and stay there as you strive to understand what truly makes them tick.

Ok I will admit I was one of the many people that were pissed at Erin cause I mean really ANGELO HELLO! lol .....but I had to find out how the series was going to end. I have to say Final Redemption is now my favorite in this series. I dont think any other book has made me cry and laugh as much as this one has. Unfortunatly the series is over.....but it had an EPIC ending. A Must read to any one who loves paranormal romance about angels, you will love it promise.

[Michelle's Paranormal Vault of Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, this story really captivated my attention. I would dream about it, and think about it when not reading. It took over my life, lol. For those who had not read the first 2 books, I will basically do a summary, but warn you, there could be some spoilers for books 1 ( Fallen) and 2 (Risen).

We start this one where Risen ended. The Chosen Nephlimn still have the battle ahead agains Lilith and her demons. Now the the Chosen have something that Lilith doesn’t know about, that can help them win, I wont say what, as it would be a major spoiler for those who didn’t read the other 2.

I will say we had excitement non-stop, action and some fun sexy times. The war that Erin has going on with her feelings in this one is a major one. I feel so bad for Angeleo, but will say, Thad sounds pretty good to me. I pictured my own hereo for him (Thor) meaning the actor, Chris Hemsworth, who I LOVE.
Make sure to read the interview I did with Christine, she gives us her vision of the main characters. I will give my own too as I write this.

I was really happy with the few new characters that we have acquired, especially Lucy, who is funny, snarky, and just plain fun. I also loved Thad too, but hate the conflicts he causes.
I was sad about the whole Angie deal, if you read the first 2, you will know the path that she is headed, and its sad. But I will say, this book did end with satisfaction. All loose ends were tied up nice, and I was satisfied, but sad to see it end as well.

I want to point out, that this series, and this book especially is really well put together. I really can’t find any flaw in it. Only one thing that I know will but a few people, but I got used to, is the changing from one character to the next without a pagebreak, BUT in saying that, its done in a way, that your not lost. Also, I can’t be sure I have a finished copy, so there is that too. I do enjoy getting inside the different characters heads. It really makes me care about them, I feel they are part of me now.

I connected in a big way to all of them, and that’s not something I always will do. Even Erin, who I took longer to warm up to in the first book, has grown on me, now I love her.
I highly recommend this book, and the previous ones. (you need to read them first, to know what’s going on)

I want to let you all know my own visual I have of some of these characters. Erin, I have an artist pic that shows an angle with the blonde hair, and lavender eyes, this could be Erin. That’s who I pictured. But if to pick an actress, I would have to pick Claire Holt (Rebekah in the Vampire Diaries show)

For Thad, of course I see Chris Hemsworth (like when in Thor)

For Lucy, I pictured Krisin Kreuk (was Lana in Smallville, now in Beauty and the Beast on tv)

For Angie, I pictured Phoebe Tonkin (Played in The Secret Circle as Faye, now on Vampire Diaries as Tylers friend Haley)

For Josh I could see Steven McQueen (Vampire Diaries as Jeremy)

I had a harder time picturing Blaze, as to me, just about no-one without hair is attractive, and even though the description doesn’t fit entirely, I saw Shemar Moore as Blaze, as he looks great bald. (he is an agent on Criminal Minds tv show as Derek) I just could not picture Vin Diesel as the author described, as I do not think he is attractive.

Angelo, was hard, I ended up picturing Ian Somerhalder with them grey like eyes, close enough (Vampire Diaries for those who don’t know, as Damon)

For Sable, I could see The Rock being him, don’t know why, just popped into my head.


5 out of 5 stars for me
