The Ransomed Soul Series #3
The Undoer
They call it The Door to Hell. It's a blackened crater that never stops spewing up poisonous gas. But gas isn't the only thing coming from the bowels of the Earth…
They slither out, those malevolent souls—demonic filth that wreak havoc and destroy lives. They don't even pretend to hide…
Brecken, an ex-demon trying to find redemption, is given the task of closing The Door. It's a seemingly impossible task. A group of teens who call themselves Cazadors will be his allies. These extraordinary youth can see the demons when no one else can, but Jag, their leader, wants nothing to do with Brecken.
Brecken must earn their confidence and defeat the demon horde infiltrating the Earth.
The Cazadors might not be much… but they are all the world has.

*Thank you Miss Melissa J. Cunningham for providing me a copy in exchange of an honest book review.
The characters, the plot are so interesting. When I knew that this book is all about angels, demons, heaven, earth and hell, I prepared myself for more action, fighting, or slaying scenes but I didn’t got what I had expected. Melissa Cunningham has a unique way of telling this kind of story. And I really love it.
Reading this, instead of visualizing it as a movie, I visualize it as an anime or manga kind of thing.
It is written in different point of views, mostly on Brecken’s, Heidi’s, and Dean’s which I really didn't like at first. The beginning went so confusing. I had a hard time realizing that what I am reading is from another character’s point of view already and not from Brecken’s anymore. And I also had mistaken Dean and Jag as bisexual. It’s one of the reasons I really thought that this book will not work for me. I can always find some little details that lead me to so many misunderstandings. But that’s the thrilling part here, it made me feel like I’m a professional investigator, it made me feel like I already found the missing pieces, that I can already solve the puzzle but I’m wrong. I’m always wrong. You think that it’s predictable, but it’s not.
I love everything about Brecken., from him being a protective brother to being a perfectly skilled demon slayer. And I also love Dean, he is my favorite character. He is really like a dude from a Japanese comics or manga. He is just so cool and I just love how gentle, kind, and loving he is. You will not know what kind of demons are living inside of him. He's extraordinary. I love/hate the relationship between Jag and Heidi and the “secret” love triangle. And I like how Owen and Doug makes everything in the group of The Cazadors balanced.
I like the ending. It’s brilliant but not that satisfying because there are still few little things that didn’t had a proper closure and questions that didn't had answers.
I recommend this book for paranormal lovers who likes to read a thrilling novel of love, loss, friendship, and sorrow.

Does good always triumph over evil?
Wow, what an amazing story about Demons, Angels, Heaven, Hell, Earth, mortals, immortals, love, loss, hate, sadness, and sorrow. Every emotion you have ever had runs through the veins on this story and captured my heart and soul as I read through it. It was a wicked roller coaster ride that I was thrilled to have a had the opportunity to endure and one I won’t forget either.
The characters in the story are phenomenal and I love how this author brought real life into each fictional character. My favorite character, of course, was Dean. I loved him spunk and his will to live, plus I loved every twist and turn that this author took to make this character come to life and made me crave to know more about him and his “gift”.
I loved the love/hate relationship between Jag and Heidi and their tragic ending in which just tore my heart apart.
The Cazadors together made one heck of a remarkable team and I loved how, no matter what, they had each others backs.
This is an amazing story with an unforgettable plot and unique bunch of characters, and I highly recommend this magical and mystical story to all to enjoy for years to come. I give this awesome story a five star review.
The author provided me with a digital ARC copy of the book for review purposes only as part of a blog tour. No remuneration was exchanged.

Mindblowing! This series has blown my mind away. I love all the charcaters very much. This is Brecken's story. But there are other characters which also play important role in the book. I love them all! They are amazing. I like Dean, and I was in his team cuz he is just adorable like that. And the friendship between Jag and Dean is just amazing!!!
It is little different from other two books. They all could be read as stand alone. But I read in order cuz they are in that order, I'm weird like that. It just I get to know how the characters were before and what happened before and you already know them. It has dystopian element in it which my top fav genre and lots and lots of action and suspense which had flying through pages and holding my breath.
I'm now in the phase of missing the characters. I've calmed down from the excitement of finishing the book and getting the answers. Got an arc in exchange of an honest review.

This book is totally original and imaginative. The scenario centers around the mythical world of angels and devils. The main character, Brecken, was once a demon. Before that, he was a teenager on earth. But now he's realized the error of his ways, and he's waging war against the demons--not an easy task since there are more and more demons coming from the doorway to Hell that just opened up. Brecken's main goal throughout the book is to close the doorway to Hell, but along the way, he has to fight demons, who possess the bodies of other humans.
Since he can't fight the battle alone, he has to gain the trust of the Cazadors, teenage warriors who fight demons as a sort of hobby/ mission. I loved all the relationships and interactions among the Cazadors. I especially liked the artistic Dean, who couldn't bring himself to slaughter a demon. His storyline is so clever and twisty. The ending really blew me away, and I found myself really wanting to know what happened in the end.

Brecken is getting his chance, to redeem himself from his wicked ways of the past.
In this book, we are primarily following Brecken's journey on Earth without s guardians, without the angels, without a backup.
He is forced to figure out what is happening on Earth with the Doorway to Hell and he has to close it!
Brecken always get the short end of the stick I think. He is a good guy and he tries so so hard to be good just to have all of his dreams just beyond his grasp. At least in this one, he is reunited with his sister Heidi! I can't say very much about this area otherwise I will ruin the story for you.
I loved that Brecken has to deal with his demons, both figurative as well as literal. We are learning more about who he was, and what he did. This all comes back to him in this one as well.
I feel that The Undoer was a little more forced than the previous books. The story drove these, and i almost lost sight of this plot line. It was a bit harder to get into the story.
I feel Brecken's frustration, his anxiety in trying to resolve everything, but I lost his purpose somewhere along the way.
The feels at the end!!!!! OH THE FEELS!!!!

Should Be a Classic
Every genre has their "Classic's" and this book and series belongs in that category now.
The flow of the story is smooth throughout. Maybe I was mesmerized, but I came across no misspelled words, no awkward tense shifts, no run-on sentences ... don't ask me about dangling particles - I probably wouldn't recognize one if it jumped off the page and bit me.
With the Strongest Possible Emphasis, I Highly RECOMMEND you read this book and the whole series.
No, I was not bribed, paid or received anything for this review (but if Ms Cunningham sent me a new book .... heh heh heh)
