Tain is one of the youngest and most tortured of the Immortals. Kidnapped and imprisoned with a sadistic demon, he finds himself free of the pain he has endured for many centuries to a world greatly changed. Scars deep inside have him shunning his brothers to a degree until he finds himself drawn to a half demon/half human woman who calls to all that was once lost within. A violent backlash has happened after the war between vampires and demons a year ago and demon women are missing. Tain asks Samantha for help and as these two race against the clock to stop an ancient evil hell bent on conquering the world, both find a love that will either deliver the greatest of ecstasy or destroy them both.
Jennifer Ashley has done it again with her next chapter in the Immortals Series. THE REDEEMING is a story of Tain, an immortal warrior who was kidnapped by a vengeful demon and then tortured for over seven hundred centuries. Pain lies deep in his soul and psyche yet one woman calls to him like no other. After being rescued by his brothers, their wives and Samantha, the woman who fills something inside him that is lost, Tain tries to get reacquainted with a world that differs greatly from his memories. Strong yet vulnerable, Tain is a character that had this reviewer dropping her jaw and rooting for him to find the love he craved yet shunned at the same time. He has been forefront in all the past Immortal books and it was a delight to read how he found himself again though greatly changed. He is drawn to Samantha yet doesn’t believe the idea that he could ever love a woman, especially a half-demon one at that. She is a cop who finds that she never stopped loving him, even with all his problems. This character is kind yet tough, gentle yet kick ass; Samantha delivers a much needed kick in Tain’s ass when he keeps pushing her away yet is drawn to her with a desire that is scorching hot. Ms. Ashley delivers two of the most multidimensional characters to date in the series and she definitely keeps the sexual tension running on high!
THE REDEEMING is the 5th book in the series and though you can read it stand alone, I recommend that you read the others in the series first to understand what Tain went through as well as who the other characters that are mentioned throughout the book are. If you enjoy a gripping story with captivating characters, some of the hottest sex scenes this reader ever read and a series that will keep you guessing, then grab the IMMORTALS: THE REDEEMING. This reader is definitely eager for the next installment of the Immortals saga and to find out what is next for t hem all. Run quick to grab this entire series so far and get ready for a day full of fun, magic and mysteries as the IMMORTALS deliver their brand of judgment on a world full of beings you only read about.
