Christy #4
Redemption Lost
Christy has tried for years to forget the harrowing Washington, D.C., experiences that launched her into an unlikely spy career—especially since it jeopardized her friendship with Marybeth. But when Marybeth begs her to help find a lost friend, Christy sees it as an opportunity for redemption.
Soon they discover there’s much more going on than a simple kidnapping. When the lost friend turns up dead and another acquaintance disappears,
Christy questions how far she's willing to go for the sake of friendship, and whether it's worth becoming the murderer's next target.

About the author
Cindy M. Hogan
43 books297 followersUSA Today Bestselling author, Cindy M. Hogan is the author of edge of your seat, young adult suspense novels that always have a dash of romance, because every book should have hot guys and girls in them. Her first series, the Watched Series, skyrocketed her to number one bestselling author and she hasn’t let up since with over 20 novels to her name.
She never sits down to write, instead, she walks and talks into a recorder and lets her computer transcribe her words. Editing is her enemy, but she loves the final results, so she’ll always dig in.
Her one dream is to own and bake in a German style bakery with a cute to-go window for Gelato. In the meantime, she’ll continue to do the thousand other things she loves like teaching, all things outdoors, painting, and gardening—she’s never met a flower, tree, bush or vegetable she doesn’t like—except maybe okra and beets. As long as she’s got a book playing in her ear, she even enjoys weeding. She may be deranged.
She loves to create, but can’t seem to sit still for long, even to read a book. Instead, she listens to books so she can read and create at the same time. She’s a non-stop worker and enjoys every minute of it.
Her most loved creation is her two amazing daughters and wishes they were teens again. She loves to be home, but her husband is a traveler and drags her family around the world, where she finds an endless supply of story ideas, characters, settings, and more often than not, walks away with a suntan or ends up in a cool castle. She is also inspired by the unpredictable teens she teaches. If she is not creating things other than books, you’ll find her snuggled up with the love of her life watching a movie or planning their next party.
Most of all, she loves to laugh.

Wow, once this book got going, it went full steam ahead. It was crazy! There were a lot of players in this game of deceit and Christy and her spy friends had their hands full. While the first part of this book might lull you into thinking the story might be on the tame side, don't be fooled. It explodes all over the place. Hang on!
Content: violence, mention of affairs (no details), some innuendo, human trafficking, abuse
This book is part of a series, I would recommend reading them in order.

I LOVE these Christy books! I love that Christy has a way with getting herself into trouble. But she's almost always able to get herself and those around her out of trouble as well, even if it isn't easy. This book is a little bit of an exception, Christy finds herself in a situation that she can't escape from, but luckily, with a little help from some friends things work out.
I really loved that we see Marybeth in this one, we not only see her, but we get to see what she thinks and feels. I love that Marybeth is able to show her true feelings about what happened in Watched when they saw a murder happen, and her resentment of Christy because of what Christy has become because of that whole experience.
Christy's accomplices at division are, as always, amazing. I love how Ace can get into any one's programs or do pretty much anything techie. Jeremy is always great at getting into any situation that he needs to, I loved how hard he worked in this one to help Christy. Haluis doesn't figure as prominently in this story, but he's great as well.
One thing I noticed about Christy in this one is her desire to always have her friends get out of the situation, even if she doesn't. She made a mistake or two in this one that cost her, but she didn't blame that on anyone else and she was always grateful for whatever help she was given. I love Christy even more after reading this one!

Christy and her gang is back in action when they received a call from an old acquaintance. Nothing is as it seems and as some things are revealed there is still much to uncover. When friends turn up missing the hunt is on and everyone is a suspect. But as the team goes under cover things go sideways and the hunter becomes the captive. When the weaker show themselves to be the stronger they over come the odds and hopefully can make it work out in the end.
As we have come to expect there is lots of action and even a few laughs but the intrigue and spins keep you turning the pages. Awesome read.

You know how sometimes you think a story is going to go one way, and then it goes completely another? Well, that's what Redemption Lost does. Talk about twists and turns; and non-stop action that's really easy to follow. So well written, you can really feel yourself in the action. This is a great read for those who like mysteries and thrillers . . . especially those that are clean: void of profanity, sex, and all of the worthless garbage that just gets in the way of a great, compelling story, especially one that deals with such an evil topic as this book does. Is it human trafficking, or worse? Read it, and find out. Seriously.

I liked this one. It took me a little longer to read this one because it was on a trip to Bear lake! But it was good. I wanted to see more of Marybeth, and I liked how the author brought her back in. I wish there would have been more of Christy and Jeremy though. Like, the rescue! But, what can you do. Good overall!

The ending was too abrupt. I have so many questions still. What happened?

Okay Read
I was not as captivated by this book as I have been with other Christy novels. I hope there are more Christy novels in the works! Love these books and *love* this author!!

I liked all the other books better in the series. In this one she seems a little helpless but not in the others. I didn't like the ending either. There were lots of unanswered questions.

Awesome and non stop action!

This was pretty bad. The writing was poor, the plot was cheesy. I was very disappointed with this last book in the series. Unfortunately, I think each book got increasingly worse.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The evil plot of senators kidnapping young girls to be surrogates is so sinister that you fear things like that could be happening in the real world. I liked the use of both Christy and Marybeth’s points of view. It helps show more about the search for Christy from the team’s perspective which was something Adrenaline Rush lacked.

I liked this one, of course!! I love Christy novels and this didn't disappoint. I started this this morning and finished it tonight. I was surprised at the direction it took. What the senators put those girls through is just terrible. I just wish there was a Christy and Jeremy scene at the end after she was rescued.
I love how selfless Christy is. And her determination even if she's seriously injured. Christy is an awesome character!

I just can't pass on any books from this author that has Christy in them. They keep you guessing and wanting to hurry up to know what else they will discover before they finish their mission. This book is one that you won't be able to put down until it's done. It was a great book so what are you waiting for, read it now.
I received an Arc in exchange for an honest review.

Yet again
Christy and Jeremy are at it again. I wish their love would blossom and grow in one of these stories.
