About this book
Caught in a high-stakes celestial game, Anna finds her loyalty and heart pulled in impossible directions. As the second installment in The Redemption series, this gripping paranormal romance leans heavily into the allure of fallen angels, where the line between salvation and damnation blurs with every turn of the page. Levi, a master manipulator, weaponizes Anna’s fierce protectiveness, forcing her into a task that even the Prince of Darkness failed to achieve.
The tension only escalates as Anna navigates her volatile dynamic with Lucifer. His erratic behavior—oscillating between seductive vulnerability and cold, calculated destruction—keeps her off balance and yearning for clarity. Meanwhile, her bond with Malcolm deepens, providing a grounding force of hope and emotional intimacy. As hidden truths about Malcolm’s past surface, they offer a bittersweet respite from the encroaching shadows that threaten to dismantle her newfound happiness.
For readers craving a series defined by addictive cliffhangers and complex supernatural intrigue, this journey is essential. While the narrative is fueled by the raw intensity of forbidden desires, it is the stakes of eternal souls and the strength of chosen family that truly drive the story forward. Prepare to be swept away by this dark, atmospheric romance.

Very seldom do I write a review. This is really about the entire collection. I have been hooked since book one. They are cliffhangers for sure! Looking forward to Aidens' story, not to mention book 3 in The Redemption Series. I wish I had read them slower. The mix of characters is refreshing. Hopefully we will get even more back story from the Angels and the ancestors of Anna. My only complaint is all crying, early in the books. They held me while I cried so hard I soaked their shirts. Really?...

An avid reader, I have to say that SJ West's writing (in general) is some of the best and most creative I've ever read! She's managed to lure readers of both sexes and of a wide array of ages into following this series (Cursed: Watcher's through Anna: Redemption). Other than actually getting to read this book, talking to my friends and family about our love of the series and what we think could be next is so awesome! If there was one thing about this book that stood out the most, it's how easy...

Again, a great continuation of a very interesting series, but, as I mentioned in other reviews. The author tends to fill up pages with very repetitive sexual encounters between the main characters.....to the point that you want to say....\"really?....can we just get on with the story line?\" She is a very creative writer and should not have to resort to this to fill her pages. But, even with this negative aspect, I enjoyed reading her entire series and will read more as she continues with these...

Watch out for Anna, she may well be the strongest of Lilly's descendants. This story just keeps giving us more surprising twists and turns. The best way to read this book is after the Watcher Trilogy and the Watcher Chronicles. There is so much history between these characters that have evolved over a thousand years. I try never to be a spoiler where great books are concerned, so I guess you'll have to take my word that this series should not be missed. This series is literally the best I have...

I give the entire 2 series as a whole 5 star because; these stories are something I never would have thought of. They take you into the minds of fallen angles and the fight between good and evil. There are twists and turns that are from great imagination but also truth. I'm not a spoil alert person so I don't want to b say to much. If your into intrigue, suspense, romance, mystery, action pack fight scenes, imaginative mind blowing drama... I recommend both the Trilogy and Chronicle of these...
