It was 3028.
1,016 years after the world ended in 2012. By fire. By ice. By unworldly, and destructive natural disasters that only He himself could have known was coming. Barely any survived, but the ones who did rebuilt society from the bottom up. Drones were stronger, dependent on not what He believed but on what was believed as whole together. In freedom. In justice. In peace. It was said that the New World was unbreakable, tolerate against the greatest evils edged into the blackness. But the New World didn’t know about me.

Review:
I very much enjoyed Barbara’s dystopian novella, Finding Redemption. I loved how the beginning chapter offers us back story and a thorough explanation of the New World. Our two protagonists Lennox and Colt are strong, independent characters throughout who know what they want and what they are fighting for. Our antagonist, Koi, is the perfect villain that you love to hate. I think the story starts strong and continues to get even better throughout the length of the story. I definitely recommend picking this novella up!
I only have two critiques; I feel like the story should be fleshed out in a whole novel. The ending (which I loved) show’s that it is meant to be a short novella, but I wish there was more too it. Dystopian worlds always need lots of space to build up. Also, I wasn’t a fan of how fast the romance moved, especially with the Lennox’s revelation. I really liked the romance, but again it needed more time to grow. I loved the ending! It had me like, “Whaaaat?!” It was a total shocker and I had no idea it was coming.
Characters:
Lennox is a strong-willed, determined badass who knows exactly what she wants to fight for.
Colt is the beautiful, sexy fighter that charms us throughout the novella. At first he was a little too cocky for my taste, but then he grew into a strong, lovable guy. I really loved seeing him develop as a character from beginning to end.
Trixie is a side-character to the story, but I actually loved her. I wish we got to see more of her in the story and learn more about her back-story.
Koi is the evil, conniving leader of the New World and The Center. He is brutal in his ways and revels in it. He is a perfect villain.

This story started slow but had a crazy twist at the end! those who love dystopian stories will like this story! The characters were well written and easily visualized but as far what was going on and why I felt lost and confused. I didn't hate the story by any means it just had me lost and not understanding why they were in that type of society or how it came to be such! I did really like the characters but it was the story surrounding them that was lacking! The ending was a crazy freaky twist that I soooo did not see coming!!! That ending was amazing though!!!

I really enjoyed this book. I was wanting to read more, especially towards the end. I was surprised at how the author ended the book, but, I must admit, it was genius. My heart broke for Colt until I read the epilogue. The author did a really good job with this book. I'd say Finding Redemption is a must read.

Wow...where to start...this was a great book it kept me on my toes and I couldn't wait to turn the pages to find out what was going to happen to Colt and Lennox. The me of emotions really attracted me to the characters and I felt like I was in the book with them. Good read!
