This very well may have been one of Alyssa’s best books for a while. I loved her Atlantis series and the other two books in this series have been enjoyable. This book had it all from visits from old friends from other books to a romance fraught with challenges to action and mystery. We also got a true HEA which is both good and a skosh sad if it means we will not see these characters again.
Meara is a much stronger and more fun character than her origin would allude to. She also struggles with a tragic mistake of epic proportions for the time that make her feel unworthy of an HEA. Edge who believes he has no emotions also knows that if he believed in love it is not for him. On the surface he was a smart guy with a high IQ and a low EQ, but Meara could get below the surface. As a geek myself, I am envious of his internet vampire power. If I had that power, I would surely get myself into trouble instead of using it like Edge did to get out of trouble.
The action and the fight scenes were well timed and intense. I loved how Meara tried to throw herself in front of her friends even though they had their own strength. The author really enforced the strength of the friendship and love between the characters with that scene. The final battle was wild as all came together to take out the demon trash. Finally, what a happily even after to end this book. It almost had a fairy tale feel. If I had one complaint it is that Luke and his lady did not get their own story.
Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC for the opportunity to read this ARC.
When falling in love may just cause the world to end... Meara and Edge have very personal reasons for keeping emotions and extreme reactions under control, but their attraction to each other shows that those deeper feelings are not as hidden as they thought. Revenge, disasters, experiments, and secrets will all come to light.
Redemption's Edge by Alyssa Day is book three in the Vampire Motorcycle Club Series. This is the story of Meara and Edge. This book was good. This was a interconnecting series so it does add to your enjoyment if you have read those books.
I'm sad to say that this one's only getting 3.5 stars because I think the world-building is solid and full of interesting details and characters. Still, I have a major dislike for martyr characters and both Edge and Meara take their suffering and sacrifice to the next level.
Meara is used to being alone and taking care of herself, especially because she knows that her losing control can have deadly consequences. But she's in serious lust, maybe more, with brooding scientist vamp Edge. Meanwhile, Edge lives a life with as few emotions as possible not because he can't feel them, but because it will quite literally kill him to fall in love. A big problem because he finds Meara more alluring every time he sees her.
They have to navigate their growing feelings while facing off against the foe that is threatening all of Savannah and has had a hand in every dangerous and sinister situation they and their loved ones have been involved in. It's a race against time to get their enemies before they get them, all while fighting their growing feelings and the knowledge that the other is better off alone.
The plot is interesting and fast-paced, with great moments pushing towards a violent and exciting final battle that is a worthy conclusion to this third act. But Meara and Edge spend so much time moping about how they're doomed to die alone because of things from their past that they can't change or are unwilling to face and it got a little grating. I get adding some drama and conflict, only there's so much I can take when it's mostly 'woe is me' brooding.
Happy thanks to NetGalley and Entangled: Amara for the broody, adventure-filled read!
A Paranormal Treat
An engaging, action packed romantic read with lots of suspense and mystery which will keep you turning the pages in anticipation of what is to come.
Edge and Meara both madly attracted to each other and both with secrets that have been kept hidden try their best to resist each other but fate has a way of stepping in to change the rules.
With wonderful characters from the series all banding together to its final conclusion, you won’t be disappointed with this sizzling, steamy action packed read.
A highly recommended read! Loved It!
I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I have been provided with a review copy of Redemption's Edge from NetGalley for an impartial review. Awwww this was such a cute story. I was just captivated by everything that was taking place. It was just so easy to get into these characters lives and you just can't help but fall in love with them. I can't wait to see what's next from this author.
This story has plenty of action and emotion. Edge has been looking for the people who tortured him and his brother. He is tired of them doing this to so many of the beings that he knows. He was Turned not very long ago, but these beings have become his family. Except Meara, he wants more from her than that. But if he acts on his feelings, he could die. A long time ago, Meara lost her temper and almost burned down the whole city. If she let herself have feelings for Edge and then lost him, she might just kill everyone. She gets so out of control that she doesn't know when to stop. As they hunt down the people in the Chamber, they realize they both want more but how can they be together? Can they find the people who are terrorizing those who are different?
Another enthralling paranormal romantic suspense,
The third in this series and the suspense is intense!
As the Chamber endeavour to take over using blood magic
The consequences for Savannah would be tragic.
With local paranormals working together at last
They're hoping the evil warlocks will soon be in the past.
But first they need to find them - where are they now?
Then make a plan to thwart them somehow.
Meera believes falling in love is a huge danger
As when things go wrong her emotions act stranger.
It happened once before, causing disaster
And she's felt fearful and so guilty ever after.
Edge was subject to experimental treatments
To quash any emotions were their intents.
He knows that love he must not feel
For it will be fatal, his fate it would seal.
With emotions running high and attraction growing strong
How can these two risk romance or even get along?
With the danger for themselves and others growing, too,
Can they resist or will love help them through?
A story of new collaborations, magic and mystery,
Helping to write a new chapter in history.
With romance, danger, battles and more
Beware what the Chamber will make them endure.
Such a great read, I have no hesitation to say
I hope you also read and enjoy it one day!
For my complementary copy, I say thank you,
As I share with you this, my honest review.
What an exciting conclusion to this series! Meara and Edge's relationship had been teased throughout the first two books in the Vampire Motorcycle Club series, and finally,
we get to see them together.
Meara and Edge both have reasons keeping them from having a relationship, but ultimately, they can't fight their intense attraction and chemistry. Redemption's Edge is filled with angst, spice, and action-packed energy.
They're gearing up for a final showdown with The Chamber and Lord Neville with everyone they love's life on the line.
Thank you, Netgalley, and the publisher for allowing me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What I liked most were the spicy scenes and the spicy characters! Next, I loved watching Meara and Edge fight their feelings for each other.

Passionate, paranormal story of love, loss and triumph
Slow beginning but as we grow closer to the beginning of the war, the faster the story moves. This is the third book in this series of paranormal novels with vampires, one part-angel, werewolves, demons, witches and even a woman who sees ghosts. Hard to beat that cast of characters. They are fighting a powerful group named The Chamber who are trying to take over the world.
Meara Delacourt is a 300yo vampire who was turned by her father. Why? There’s a story there. She was hurt in love and the result was catastrophic so she intentionally stays away from romantic situations, but she cannot stop thinking and watching the newly turned vampire, Sebastian Edgington aka Edge. He is a man of science and suffers from an emotionless existence other than rage or fury which he exhibits easily since his experiences as a guinea pig for a clandestine group of scientists. Showing affection is not one of his discernible traits but he is attracted to Meara. Hmmm… During Meara’s disturbing dream, is there a foreshadowing moment?
I truly enjoyed this book but to be fair, the first two were more humorous, fast-paced and entertaining. The cover bothered me as well because Edge has shoulder-length white hair as a result of his captivity, not short dark hair. I loved Meara, a strong woman character and Edge who learns to feel. I cannot tell if this is the end of the series. We still could find out about Luke and Lady Sarah who came into the story at the end. Maybe? I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Entangled/NetGalley.
Four and a half
Wow what a way to end this series ! I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these characters and from the very beginning Meera was a tough cookie who you just knew could end anyone and I do mean anyone. She's a character who acts tough ( because she is ) but is very complicated with a past that the author brilliantly brought to life in this book.
Edge is quite newly turned and at heart he is very much a nerdy scientist but he knows what he wants . If he can have Meera as long as he doesn't " feel " everything should be fine, shouldn't it ? Well maybe not as there's what I could almost describe as a magical bomb in his head and that definitely isn't a fun thing. Just as well Meera doesn't want him or does she ?
This wrapped up everything in style with paranormals of numerous types stepping up. I love the banter between these characters as it brings them to life. I don't think it's my favourite romance of the series because I found Bane to be an absolute hoot but cannot fault Edge for his perseverance and he turned out to be a sweetheart. I'd previously struggled a little to really like Meera but this story allowed her to shine and perhaps even mellow a smidge. The author doesn't just give us romance and steam though because there's a battle royal here that kept me eagerly turning the pages as the action kept on coming. This series has been fun to read and I loved that everything just kept building with tension, humour and of course romance.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair
"Redemption's Edge" emerges as a quick-paced paranormal romance, characterized by straightforward writing that caters to readers venturing into the genre. The plot unfolds briskly, complemented by well-crafted spicy scenes, offering an accessible option for those seeking a narrative that doesn't demand extensive time or concentration.While the pacing and sensuality contribute to the book's appeal, the characters, regrettably, fall somewhat flat. The author's inclination towards telling rather than showing the characters' emotions and experiences diminishes the depth of their portrayal. Despite fulfilling its promises, the overall impact is, unfortunately, forgettable.
My rating is 2.75 stars, "Redemption's Edge" caters well to readers with a preference for quick, uncomplicated reads, yet it falls short in creating truly memorable characters and a lasting impact.
This was a really action packed paranormal romance!
This was my first time reading this series and I felt like I was a bit late to the party. It can be read as a standalone though and the author does a great job of bringing you up to speed throughout the book. However, in trying to read this as a standalone, I felt as though I had missed a lot from the other books. There was a ghost whisperer who has been through a horrifying ordeal, a demon dog with a really interesting backstory, prior reference to a zombie incident, and so much more. I really liked the characters and how different they were from one another. I also liked the family feel of the group and the witty banter between them. I will say that the solution to Edge’s problem did make me roll my eyes. To go through so much throughout the story and for that to be the solution felt a bit underwhelming. The general action overall makes up for this lackluster moment though. Overall this was a good read!
This book is the conclusion to the Vampire Motorcycle Club series . You really need to read the first two books in the series in order, or there are things you miss, characters you don't understand etc.
This was a quick moving book and we did get a wrap up of a continuing story from the series.
For me, i was slightly disappointed. I looked forward to these two from the first book and I didnt feel like there was the connection that i wanted. It fell slightly flat.
But I will say that this is a good book /series for those who are looking for a quick read!
I received an ARC for my honest review of this book. I haven’t read the previous books in this series, so I was going in blind. For me, it was really hard to get into without knowing everyone’s backstory. I love a good vampire book. I’ll have to go back and read the first books in the series.
Redemption's Edge
By Alyssa Day
Vampire Motorcycle Club book 3
This book has all the paranormal from Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Demons, Ghost Whisperers, and Angels and is action packed from the first page to the last. This is the conclusion to the Vampire MC of Savannah although I'm sad it's concluded this is the best one yet with Meara and Edge finding their HEA and taking down Neville. I love how finally they both overcome their abilities and come together with the rest of the family. I love Mr & Mrs C and of course Charlie the dragon protector of Alice and Hunter I couldn't forget them.
Thank you to Entangled Publishing and Alyssa Day for producing a fantastic series.
This book is the conclusion to the Vampire Motorcycle Club series and it wraps the series up beautifully. This series should be read in order or you will feel like you have missed so much background to the characters that are in this story. The world building in this trilogy is incredible and well thought out. There are pieces of the various supernatural histories woven within the story that keeps you informed of the background that helped and hindered the main characters.
The main story is focused on Meara and Edge. Meara is a 300 year old vampire, while Edge is fairly recently turned. Meara and Edge have many things that are keeping them from each other. There are many conflicts that Meara and Edge have to face before they reach their HEA. One of them is destroying The Chamber - a group of magic users set out to control the world. The characters are well developed and several characters from the previous books play major parts in this story. This is an action-packed plot with fascinating, caring characters who will do anything to protect the people they love.
This was a fun, fast-paced, heartfelt read and was a great conclusion to the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for this ARC.
Redemption's Edge is a fast paced paranormal romance with simple, straight-forward writing that makes the book an accessible option for readers new to the genre. The plot moves quickly and the spicy scenes are well written.
This book is a good choice for readers who are easily distracted or those who are looking for a story that doesn't require a lot of time and concentration.
To me, the characters felt flat, and the author does more telling than showing with regard to the character's feelings and experiences. It delivers on what it promises, but overall it's forgettable.
Thank you to Entangled Publishing and Net Galley for providing a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Rating: 4.5/5
I received an eARC for my honest opinion.
I really enjoyed learning about the other vampires’ stories in the first two books, but getting to see the story told from the perspectives of Meara and Edge was amazing. I knew that this book would be interesting in the best way possible, it had drama, love, heartbreak, learning to trust oneself, and forgiveness for past actions.
I thought this book had some great world building, it also helps when you read the first two books and see the tension between these characters throughout the book but in the background. So, when I saw that I could finally understand why Meara and Edge kept pushing each other and understand them more I jumped on the chance.
I loved that Meara is a 300-year-old vampire, but she is still just a young lady that is looking for someone that can help her heal but at the same time she is scared that if she does, she will create another disaster like she did in her past. However, kicking this scientist named Edge, who is technically part of her family since her brother Bane turned him, is a lot harder than she ever would have thought. Meara goes through so much emotional trauma in this book but when you get to the ending you will see that everything happened the way that it was meant to be. Meara really doesn’t need a male or female in her life to protect her. She can do that all by herself, but who will be there to pick up Meara when she is spiraling or when she has hit her bottom?
Edge is a scientist at heart, and he loves being the nerd of the group, until he comes to the realization that he cannot use his smartest to help him overcome this ingestion every time he encounters Meara. At first, he doesn’t understand what is happening to him, but he starts to realize that he might be having more feelings for her than he wanted too, and it’s not just because she is Meara but because he literally has a ticking time bomb in his head. He is more so than ever to get this chip out of his head and take down the ones that threaten his life, and his family’s lives and there is nothing that will stop him, even himself.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will be getting another book from Day, and we will get to see Lukes’s story.
I want to thank NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to review this book.
