Summary from Goodreads:
"We have a new assignment for you, Mr. Reinhardt."
These words are not comforting to me. At eighteen, I am a gargoyle who has been demoted because I broke the rules. Now I have a new mission, a new mark to protect. But I don't expect Emma Chase. I don't expect to question my own race. I don't expect to care for my own mark. And I am not prepared for what I find at The Acropolis.
Review: I can not freaking believe what happened in this book. IT WAS SO GOOD!! So I tend to stay away from books that switch point of views. This novel switches from Connor to Emma and does so brilliantly. I really couldn’t ask for more. R.K. Ryals has created a mind blowing new world that I want to be a part of!!
Connor is the perfect bad boy with an inner softness. We get to see how he became who he is today through the novel. Emma is shy and thought she was dying. She’s okay with dying it’s living that scares her the most. Her fears were intriguing! I liked watching her come out of her shell and scramble to grasp who she is.
The plot is pretty intense. I highly enjoyed that aspect. There was lots of fighting and action. The love scenes were actually minimal (even though there are those intense kiss scenes swoons), but the emotional intensity that the author conveys had me at the edge of my seat.
To be quite frank here guys. This is the first book besides a textbook I have finished since coming to college in August. I am thrilled that this was the one I read. I need more ASAP. You can count me in to be reading Acropolis #2. I’ll probably even be stalking the author and her other works. It was just that good.
About The Author:
I am a Native Mississippian who started writing in elementary school. I was a reserved child who threw away almost everything I wrote. Later, when I was older, I discovered the crumpled pieces of my work in a box in my mother's hope chest. When I asked her why she saved the work, she replied,
"What you considered trash, I considered genius."
It has been my motto ever since. My mother passed in 2005. She is missed.
I am the scatterbrained (no lie) mother of three, and I live in Mississippi with my husband and three divalicious daughters and a female shitszu (also a diva)named Tinkerbell. My poor husband!
Redemption is a three book series following young, brash Dayton Blainey. The first two books are now available on Amazon.com for kindle and in print.
