I was so excited to get the chance to read an ARC of the latest Saint Squad story. Like all of the others it can be read alone, but I love having the background from all the other books. This saint squad story was fun because it wasn't an actual member of the squad that was the main character. I am so glad we got to see Gage/Eric's story and how he was able to really prove himself. Then we have Skyler who we see is really trying to figure out how to make her dreams come true when dealing with an overbearing yet neglectful family. I really enjoyed that she decided to stand up to her parents for what she really wanted.
I only wish the ending wouldn't have felt so rushed. I felt like it didn't feel believable to me but other than that I loved this book. I couldn't put it down and read it in a day! Another great read by Traci Abramson

This is a riveting adventure that dives back into the saint squad series! The book is aptly named, a story of redemption and how people can change. Gage and Skyler are likeable, and I enjoyed how their characters were defined in who they wanted to be and what they stood for. It was so exciting to see the saint squad and the Whitmores again!
Redemption is another fantastic Saint Squad Novel. I always look forward to reading anything by Traci Hunter Abramson- especially within the romantic suspense genre. This story does a great job of adding lots of suspense without making my heart pound too much. As one thing happens after another, I couldn't wait to see how Traci Abramson wrapped it all up in the end. As Gage Stewart is trying to make a new life for himself after the events of Lockdown, this story follows him path towards Redemption.
I loved seeing all of the characters from the Saint Squad come back. As they go on missions and help with the events of of the story (trying to avoid spoilers), so many moments make me smile- like Jay being sent up a tree or Quinn praying for dessert. Traci Abramson manages to balances the humor and suspense so well.
Skyler and Gage's relationship develops so well throughout the whole story as they both come to share important things that they worry about. Both have big things that could make a difference in how they view each other but they are able to work through them and find happiness past it all.
Abramson does it again! Wow!
Two people hiding secrets that could tear them apart. Both facing danger without knowing who or why someone is after them. A great read! This book continues the story of the Saint Squad. Be aware that this is easily a standalone, the story does not require any knowledge from previous books. It is a fast-paced gripping tale that you will find yourself saying ‘just one more page and I’ll stop’ but if you’re like me the stopping probably won’t happen until you finish the book. Skyler is the daughter of a hotel mogul but is tired of the people her name attracts, so she prefers to just be known as an average, run of the mill student with few people knowing her true background. Gage has gone from being a young manipulated teenager to a kind, serious man who only wants to leave his past behind him. When attempts are made on their lives, they need to try and discover who is behind it, why are they doing this and does it have anything to do with one of their pasts. Along with doing everything they can to keep each other and innocent bystanders safe. A fantastic read. I highly recommend this book along with the other Saint Squad books. I received an early copy and this is my honest review.
First the bad: This book is too short. It's novel length, but as with any book of Traci Hunter Abramson's, it ends too soon and the wait for the next always feels too long.
Now the good: Excellent writing, realistic characters that you quickly care about, and a plot that moves quickly but rather than leaving you behind, takes you along with it for the ride.
The Saint Squad series are always winners, but this one took a new angle. We see new flaws in our heroes as they struggled to forgive the boy who had once been the criminal behind their scopes. We meet parents and in-laws of characters and see the examples they set, both good and bad. Relationships are realistic and relatable, and characters seem real.
A page turner from beginning to end!
Yet again this book held my attention. It was such a real life story that you could see the events playing out. The reality of how to deal with the issues facing people in traumatic situations was impressive.
REDEMPTION by TRACI HUNTER ABRAMSON is an exciting romantic thriller with a good Christian message. It is a story about second chances.
I like the camaraderie between the Saints, their courage and their reliance on the Lord. The same can be said of the members of the Palmetta Institute, especially Riley, who employs Gage in spite of her husband's mistrust of him.
Both Gage and Skyler are victims of an unhappy childhood, although for vastly different reasons. There are secrets on both sides which could easily derail their budding relationship.
The suspense will keep you reading until the last page - you will not be able to put the book down. I highly recommend Redemption as a really good read.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Covenant Communications. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
