My feelings are torn with the direction the story went right now. I'm not quite sure what exactly is bothering me but whatever it is, its there. 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡. ]|I{•---------⋘⋙---------------•⪼⦕࿅⦖⪻•---------------⋘⋙---------•}I|[ I really loved the first book, it was so emotionally raw and powerful and i thought this one would be the same, and it did in a way but something was 𝐎𝐟𝐟 or 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠. And that kinda ruined my excitement while reading this one. I quite 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 myself to finish it and my lack of enthusiasm was even more frustrating. ]|I{•---------⋘⋙---------------•⪼⦕࿅⦖⪻•---------------⋘⋙---------•}I|[ But what's bothering me the most is that i don't know why I felt that way, well actually i 𝐃𝐎 know why i just don't know 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 changed in this sequel to make me feel like this. Because I know it’s not coming from me being disappointed from not having my expectations met because I didn't have any going in this. I went in blind, i just loved the previous book and wanted to continue with this whole universe, especially Valentine. So 𝐖𝐓𝐇. ]|I{•---------⋘⋙---------------•⪼⦕࿅⦖⪻•---------------⋘⋙---------•}I|[ And now, now I'm really 𝐅#𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 pissed because this series is kinda ruined for me. Cos i know for 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍 sure when the third gets released I won't jump in immediately to read it. It's gonna take me awhile to get over whatever the 𝐅#𝐂𝐊 this is. So here i am sulking 𝐀𝐍𝐃 beyond frustrated...
DAMN!! What a warning – OMG, she wasn’t kidding - it’s dark and the story even gets darker from here! I am so emotionally spent right now after finishing this book. I have the ultimate book hangover and I am not sure how I am going to be able to wait for book 3. Brilliant, phenomenal, outstanding – these words aren’t even enough to describe the brilliance of J. Rose’s mind and her writing. Be absolutely ready before you start reading because this story will consume you, destroy you and leave you gasping for more!
Lexi seems to be a broken mess after previous events. She’s hurting deeply. So many demons have come out to destroy her mind and her spirit leaving her crumbling. But with every knife stabbed into her soul, she becomes more – more angry, more vengeful, more powerful. She is ready to burn them all.
“I’d give them a vengeful f****** demon instead, and soak the road to redemption in blood.”
Lexi’s strong alpha protectors, Daniel and Valentine, are trying desperately to build their connection with Lexi, making it stronger, but these two have way too much history holding them back. They have a lot to work out between them before the three of them can become one awesome killing machine! Other than their otherworldly connection, the sexual chemistry between Daniel, Valentine and Lexi is extremely hot and damn sexy. I am silently cheering the three of them on. They make a formidable team.
The rawness, the pain, the anger and the gut-wrenching betrayal destroyed me over and over again. My mind cannot fathom what Lexi was going through and how she would survive all the pain and torture of being hurt over and over and by those you least expect it from. I screamed and wanted to destroy something so badly. My heart was racing erratically and my palms were sweating, I have been left feeling completely mind blown and emotionally destroyed.
Filled with action, suspense, unbelievable twists that you will never see coming, and a whole lot of murder and mayhem, this next part of Lexi’s story will blow your mind, gut you and leave you begging for the next part of the story! I am not okay!
This is a must read series for those that love the dark, the depraved and the wicked.
The first book in the series was great and this next offering from J Rose keeps up the standard. Dark, delicious and sexy, this story is full of rich language and compelling plot. Well recommended!
This book is everything. I'm at a loss to describe the feelings this book invoked in me. Dark, gritty, heartbreaking and yet at the heart of the book you have 3 characters desperately fighting for love and each other, no matter how bleak the world is around them. I am in complete awe of J Rose and her writing ability. Every dark romance lover Needs to read this series.
When you fall is the second instalment of the Redeemed trilogy. I loved the first book, but I adored the second!
Dark. Exciting. Heart-breaking and heart racing! I couldn’t stop reading. Lexi’s growth is incredible. She starts lost, broken, worn down, self-destructive and angry but works herself up into a god damn warrior. It’s a truly enduring and gripping journey. One that is perfectly written and paced. The love interests are not only complicated but hot as hell! I love seeing how much they need each other, even when they don’t want to. It’s a desperate and dangerous type of love they share. Sometimes you wonder if they will ever figure it out and find a way to make it work. But even then, it’s impossible not to cheer them on. The secrets and mystery of the Redeemed order from the first book are far from forgotten here. We delve deeper into their secrets, pulled into a dark history that plunges Lexi and her men into one hell of a minefield. Old enemies resurface and they’re out for blood and payback. And they have Lexi in their sights. I cannot wait for the third book. I’m craving it! This, like the first book, is dark, gritty, sexy, and certainly not for the faint of heart.
Yeah you got that right! Jesus I don't even know where to begin with this review, like how do I sort through the emotional mess that I'm left with after that masterpiece?!
We start off back with a broken Lexi, and man is she in a really dark place. She can't see how any of this is going to be resolved, how can she get Eve and Michael back without sacrificing herself and breaking her promises?
Daniel and Valentine try so hard to bring her back from the edge, but she just keeps pushing them away.
But all three of them need to realise that not one of them is going anywhere, they need to face their connections to fight together, Lexi needs both of them more than she even realises
I think I pretty much highlighted the entire book 😂 J Rose has such a unique writing style that it's almost poetic
I wanna say I loved every second of this book but from the messages I was sending J Rose she'd know I was lying 😂 this book HURT, but in the best way 🖤 and she was right, the ending is more of a resolution than a cliff hanger, but that doesn't make it any easier 😂 Yeah I'm gonna need Book 3 ASAP because I have even more questions now!!!
𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊! Let me tell you. We go through a fucking category 5 hurricane of emotions and I felt E V E R Y SINGLE ONE OF THEM. Each emotion experienced, it's with the up most intensity and guilt wrenching feeling. Lexi experiences a myriad of emotions: denial, hurt, anger, self pity, loss, betrayal, failure, sacrifice and pain.
The shit storm that is Lexi's second life sure is testing her at every single twist and turn. Her relationship with Valentine and Daniel is put to the test with each new development as Lexi tries to make the best choice she can in her current situation. She finds herself hell bent on a suicide mission with no other alternative to save the ones she loves. Things are not adding up and people are not as they appear.
I cannot even begin to describe all the shit that is hidden and revealed that we were not expecting. The sheer betrayal is just mind boggling and speech rendering. I can't tell you how many times I screamed 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘 while reading this book. I stress cleaned. I am not ok. Y'all need to feel my pain and just dive into this delectably dark masterpiece that is the second book of The Redeemed Trilogy.
All that sexual tension with Valentine from the first book is just gone. And I had such high hopes there. All the spark was gone and everything just got got dragged out endlessly instead of the sexual tension building. When they did finally get together I wasn't all that enthusiastic about it anymore.
There's practically no progression in the first half of the book. You can pretty much skip the first half outside one or two scenes, both relationship-wise and plot-wise. It's just a constant back and forth of them blaming each other, apologising, trying to run away from each other. Each claiming the high road in turn, it's exhausting. Some conflict is fine, but not not if it gets dragged out for so long without progression. I lost count of all the things they're mad at each other about.
The second half did get a lot better, with both the plot and the relationships. I enjoyed it a lot more.
I don't know why the author gave up on the series, but the enthusiasm I had after book 1 is mostly gone. It's a pity, because at times there are some wonderful scenes.
❤ Reincarnation ❤ Devine destiny ❤ Huge plot Twist ❤ Book hangover from hell ❤ Eggplant count 2
Holy freaking book hangover God's what the hell did I just read!!!!! So to be honest this baby is sick for a reason so like the first book it starts out a little slow but damn is it worth it ladies. This book is just chef's kiss when it comes to that thick twisty plot but made me scream at my Kindle!! J Rose your are a gem and this world is so beautiful thank you for this amazing read. There's Steam there's cuddling there's all of the twisty plot twist that you can never see coming ever it's just immaculate !!!
Yep loved this ending but still not entirely complete as usual this author didn't disappoint, glad to have read these books now, so just got to patiently wait for the next one
I loved this book (and the series itself) so much! There is so much happening in this book and it keeps you glued to it. It’ll make you cry, laugh, and possibly throw your kindle/book out of anger. I can’t wait for book 3! Also, WHAT WAS THAT ENDING??
Fecking brilliant!!! Mooooore. So looking forward to the finale. I need THAT character to BURN... "Die fuc#er DIE!!!!". Thank you for a sexy, exciting series. Loving it 💜
