Could love make a person turn a blind eye to murder?
While Penny continues to suffer from the heartache caused by Sam’s decision to end their friendship, her relationship with Taylor is also precarious. As she digs deeper into the murder, she must confront him about his secrets- do they have an innocent explanation, or could he be the killer?
When a person close to her turns up dead, she is overwhelmed with grief, and not even Ian can console her. More secrets come to light, and rash decisions put Penny’s sanity at stake.
Cocooned in her perfect life with Ian, she has failed to see that she is being manipulated. Nor has she grasped how many other people are mysteriously disappearing from her life, one by one. Can Penny separate the truth from the lies before she loses anyone else?
Rose B. Mashal is an Amazon and Smashwords Hotlist bestselling author of contemporary romance novels. She enjoys writing suspenseful plots about strong female protagonists and the men who love them. Her Colorblind series is a multicultural love story between an American CEO and an Arab prince, and her latest trilogy is a dystopian science fiction thriller, featuring a female scientist and her human-like android creation. Rose taught herself English, chose writing over her career as a lawyer, and lives in Egypt with her family.
Interwoven into the futuristic world where Penny struggles to heal her broken heart and keep a grip on both a slipping morality and reality, is a dark mystery. Picking up this, the second book, I felt like I had solved most of the riddle from Temptation, but obviously there was a lot of story left. To say that Redemption far exceeding my expectations would be an understatement! For every question answered, a new one is raised. Penny through the fog of grief and stress can’t see what’s happening around her, but even an objective reader is kept guessing. Just when you think you’ve reached the end... BAM! A twist you’ll never see coming. This is my prayer... for Salvation to come soon!
This is another fantastic and engaging read in the trilogy. Can you say rollercoaster ? Just when you think you know what is going to happen the author pulls the rug out from underneath the reader and the plot takes another direction. I was unable to put the book down once I started reading it. I ended the book with a sinking feeling and tingle sensation, my mind was numb. Oh no! Did Penny do the right thing? I love books that get “the brain thinking”. This trilogy has certainly done that.
Rose has once again taken us on a journey through the continuation of Penny's story. As you read and follow Penny, you are going up and down as to will happen next. I have never been disappointed in any book by Rose, she writes wonderful stories that take you to another world. Once you start reading, you'll find it hard to stop. I look forward to reading book 3 in this trilogy.
Penny continues living her life happy with Ian by her side, not realizing the things that Ian is hiding from her and wont tell her no matter how much she asks. Love makes Penny blind to many things tho when it comes to Ian, people start disappearing and others are dying but she never expects anything to be connected to Ian as he wasnt programmed that way.
What I enjoyed most about Redemption is how she loves Ian so much and that he makes her happy so she never thinks that he would do anything bad but be there for her and love her with all that he is, how trusting she is of Ian even if he is the furthest thing from the truth. Once Taylor is able to get into Ian's files he learns the truth and has to tell Penny before anymore harm can be done.
This is another great book from Rose Mashal and I can not wait for the next book in the series to see what happens next. when you think you see where this is going something else happens, so many twists and turns in this story kept me on the edge of my chair waiting to see what would happen next.
OMG! Where do I even begin? This one took me through a roller coaster ride! If you’re looking for a sci-fi novel that will keep your glued to the book and make you sit on the edge of your seat, this is it! I admit the whole time I was reading I was torn between wanting it to end so that my heart will get a break and dreading how I’ll wait for the next book once I finished reading this one. Rose is a genius when it comes to writing intriguing thrillers that’ll make you bite your nails to stubs, but I promise you won’t regret it! Kudos, Ms. Mashal, you have got a fan in me! I just hope I don’t go crazy waiting for Salvation!
Rose has did it once again. I can't explain what I'm feeling at the time. My heart it crying. The ending. Oh my. I was told this would twist me and it has. Penny has suffered so much. She thought her creation would ease her pain and suffering only to realize it has added more heartache and loss. Learning was has happened and what she has to do to do to fix her wrong is heartbreaking. Read it....it will leave you feeling the same I promise. I dont know how she does it, but Rose has gripped my heart. Im bawling for Penny.
I just finished reading this book about 15 minutes ago, give or take. My mind is blown.
First, I want to send love to Rose for writing this story, and the others I've loved since I discovered her, and for simply being the person she is. If you haven't spoken to her, or read her stories, YOU SHOULD!!! She's one of the sweetest people I know!!
Also...Rose, don't think I didn't see my name in this book, because I did, and I knew it wasn't a coincidence! 😂 I thank you for that, as well, because you didn't have to do that. You didn't even need to acknowledge me, but you did, and I'm glad that I've been able to be there for you as much as I can be, and will continue to do so as long as I'm alive. I love you! ❤
Anyway, back to the story! WTAF Taylor?!?! This story took me back and forth, and I never expected it to take the direction it did at the end, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if he is or isn't the mastermind behind everything. I don't wanna say too much because I don't wanna give away spoilers, but...I feel like he's not the friend that Penny always thought he was, and when she doubted him before, I think her doubts were totally valid at this point.
I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens! Rose, you know I can't stand cliffies!! 😂 So, I'll be waiting patiently - but impatiently 😂 - for the next one.
Seriously, people...READ THIS BOOK!!!! Well...read the first one, first...and then read this one! You won't be sorry!!
This is my favourite book series ever. The ideas that have gone into this are so descriptive and well written. I was on a crazy emotional ride with this book. Nothing prepared me for this. One minute I loved Ian, the next Taylor, then I hated them both at different times. I’m still undecided on my feelings about everyone and everything. I got some answers I was desperately seeking from the first book only to be left with even more anticipation for the next book. Has Penny made the right choices? Has she trusted in the wrong person? Is Ian good and everything I have hoped for or is he something else that’s very scary? I have a lot of questions mostly about Ian and Taylor but I’m absolutely dying for the next instalment. You can feel the love, the pain and heartache, the stress and worry, the uncertainty of Penny’s feelings. Who can she trust? Don’t miss out on this fantastic book you absolutely will be obsessed with it. Roll on Salvation. Love it! Five thousand stars. Another best seller for sure from this talented author. Simply epic.

I'm going to be very vague because I really don't want to give any spoilers away...(It was THAT GOOD) This is one of my Top-5 fave books of this year!!💙 I really thought I was ready, and that I had it almost figured out, but I was soooo wrong!!! This took me down a rabbit hole, and by the end I was like wtf!!! I enjoyed it from beginning to end, especially that cliffy😲 I'm very anxiously awaiting the final book.
