Nightshade

Redemption, Volume 3

De: Molly McAdams

Narrado por: Jason Clarke Erin Mallon

The heart-stopping final installment in New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams's Redemption series.

My life has never been my own. From the time I could walk, I was trained to be the mob's hardened assassin. To be a monster. I've been told what to do, when to kill, and who to love. The minute I strayed, I lost everything.

Then I met Jessica.

She swept into my life like a storm of heartache, seduction, and intrigue. She's everything I hate, but with one look, I can't stay away. With one touch, she ignites a craving unlike anything I've ever known.

But her secrets threaten to destroy everything closest to me. Including her…

Together we're poison. A destructive combination of darkness and chaos. And I want to savor every drop in my veins.

Drama, Suspense, Romance, this book had it all!

I absolutely loved this story line, which was a surprise for me. I listened the prior book, Firefly and did not see myself loving Keiran's story. But I was so wrong, his story was my favorite in the series. Manipulated his whole life by the mob, he never truly knew if he loved his former girlfriend Lily because it was his job or what was in his heart. And Jessica, her story was heartbreaking. Growing up with a mentally ill,drug addicted mother, left her with no choice but to put her body out there to make money. When these Kieran and Jessica collide, there is a chemistry there that can't be ignored, no matter what truly brought them together. Calming each others darkness, the story of these two finding each other was a wild ride and I loved listening to every minute! The narrators were fantastic as well, great duo.

Wow! Series Hangover.

There seems to be nothing better than two tormented souls finding redemption and safety in each other. I felt so sad for Kieran in Firefly. He was a man doing his best at what he felt was true. I expected him to fall off the deep end but somehow he persevered and discovered more to life than he ever felt he deserved. Jessica. In the darkest place he found her. And all her fears and bravado couldn’t keep her from loving the tormented man she knew only as a monster.

Sigh. Jason and Erin were unstoppable in this series. Perfection in narration.

👍🏻👍🏻TWO PULSING THUMBS UP!

Best of the Series

This book is so very good. It has it all thrill, suspense , romance, and steam. Even though I listened to it through Audible Escape, I would definitely use a credit to enjoy this nonstop thrill ride.
Narration was perfect!

Absolutely loved it!

Of all the books in this series, this one stressed me out the most- haha but in a good way! Full of drama and twists. Kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t stop listening! Highly suggest!

WHEN DARKNESS MEETS CHAOS IT’S THE PERFECT STORM

I thought I was going to have a major book hangover after finishing my last listen but wow.. this very addictive captivating story, and its colorful characters, quickly pulled me out of my book funk and satisfyingly submerged me into a compelling Mafia suspense/romance story.

Kieran is the Holloway mob’s assassin.. they call him Nightshade.. he’s darkness, stealth and no-one sees this cold killer coming because he silently blends into the shadows.. and his weapon of choice is a knife.. or, more precisely, knives. He, and a few close allies, have been slowly planning to overthrow their cruel manipulative evil boss and things finally come to a head in this final book in the Redemption series.. but it’s not without heartbreaking casualties. There are two sides to this handsome anti-hero.. his dark side of Nightshade and Kieran is his softer side.. but he has a broken heart after events in book 2. However, when he meets a strange ‘working girl’ called Jessica who also has a crazy side which he calls Chaos.. she’ll intrigue him, frustrate him, keep secrets, be the only person to sense him without actually seeing him and, despite their demons, she’ll throw an emotional curveball that’ll show him they were made for each other.

Jessica has had a terrible childhood and her mother’s drug use/abuse has created an overwhelming financial burden and left Jessica with few options over her life. Demons from her past, demons in her present and demons that want to manipulate her future have forced Jessica to create a carefree crazy upbeat facade.. but deep down she’s desperate for someone to really see her, to slay her demons and to save her from her nightmare life. Nightshade/Kieran might just be the right person to do it.. but between them and their HEA there’s a whole hell of a lot of obstacles in their way.

What an emotional and riveting slow-build to this love story that unfortunately ends a powerful and unforgettable three book series. It was well-written, angst-ridden, full of drama, had amazingly colorful characters, heat, heartache, passion, pain, suspense, bloodshed, some humor and challenging relationship issues as the hero and heroine had off-the-charts chemistry but zero trust in one another. I loved the unraveling of Jessica and Kieran’s lives and the development of their relationship, mutual dependency and love.. a love that would finally let the light into their darkly tainted lives.

Worth a credit? Definitely a big, bursting at the seams, YES. It’s non-stop action and the rollercoaster of highs and lows don’t stop til the bitter-sweet end. It could possibly be standalone but each book connects characters and develops the secondary plot further taking it to its final conclusion within this book. The dual POV narration is spot on.. conjuring and creating deliciously colorful mental images of the characters, their emotions, their quirks, the action-packed scenes and the suspenseful drama to life making it an unforgettable listen.
