It was fun and I enjoyed the different stories, but everything just felt a bit rushed or vague or glossed over at times so I never really connected with the characters, but I did enjoy all the crazy adventures they found themselves in.

Fun and Epic and Sassy

This box set was incredible. Angels, the Fallen, Gargoyles, the Seven Sins, Demonesses and wild adventures aplenty.

It's in reading these kinds of books that the part of my brain affected by my conservative religious upbringing sort of has a happy dance in my mind. Maybe the bad guys really aren't evil, they're just a balance for good. Two sides of the same coin really. Yin and yang. It makes sense to me.

Anyway, this box set contains three separate stories:

1. The Redeemable - a dying woman meets the embodiment of the seven deadly sins and it gets spicy
2. The Unrepentant - a woman vows revenge against people who attack her twin and has a team of hot dudes to help her
3. The Fallen - an empathic woman suffers with PTSD after a torturous kidnapping, only to be surrounded by fallen angels who look at her like a snack

Maybe I've made it out to just be a spicy read and it is spicy, but the longer tale is well written and full of strong women who know what they want and will do whatever it takes to protect their friends and family from evil.

It's just so good. I loved it.

The Redeemable has a darker edge to it than I have come to expect from Grace McGinty, and it is sheer brilliance. How to explain it? A lot of dark romance is dark because of forces that are external to the main characters. That force is usually portrayed by the villain of the story. But here? There is no bad guy to conquer. The danger and fear and loss all stem directly from the very nature of the female main character. So, how do you fight it?

The answer is: you don't. You hold on tight and hope against hope that things will work out. As the reader, you're crossing every finger and toe and holding your breath for the next page, because we all know that a happily-ever-after is never guaranteed.

The realities of good vs bad being so incredibly subjective are well highlighted in the depths of the characters. The traditionally "bad" guys do an awful lot of good, and vice versa. I enjoyed the multiple layers to the story.

And the sex. OH.MY.GODS! the sex. It came quickly and often - just like Cady

So good

I love how the entire family is in the box set. Their stories are so heartbreaking but so good. And then to end it with Luc? Perfect.
