Blackbird (Redemption Series)
by Molly McAdams
I live in a world few know exist. I’ve trained for this. I know
what to say, what to do, and how to act. I’ve perfected the lethal calm
required for this life.
Now it’s time to buy my first girl. But all it takes is one look at the brave
girl who starts singing mid-auction for that calm to slip.
Briar Chapman is going to be the death of me, and I don’t care. I’ll take every
day with her until that death comes, and I’ll welcome it when it does.
On the outside, Lucas Holt is what nightmares are made of. A man
cloaked in darkness, with sin-filled eyes and an enticing grin. A devil so
devastatingly beautiful and cruel that his very presence instills fear.
But beneath his terrifying, ever-calm exterior is an affectionate man haunted
by a past that refuses to stay buried. And Lucas looks at me as though he’s
finally found the only person who can make it all go away.
We’re a battle of the brightest day and the darkest night—and I want to lie in
the wake of our war.
I've always enjoyed reading Molly's
books. Emotional reads and all the feelings that come along with them? Yes,
please!! Blackbird definitely has all of the emotions you've come to expect from Molly, but it has SO MUCH MORE. It's darker, sexier, and will leave you wanting more! I've seen it said over and over again, but I'll reiterate;This is definitely Molly McAdams best
work.
Blackbird covers some tough subjects, as you can tell with just the
synopsis. Human trafficking, kidnapping, hostage situations, a whole world that
most of us only read about in fiction, or see on the Hollywood big screen. Parts of it were really tough to read, I'll admit! Blackbird will make you second
guess yourself and how you "think you'd react" in a frightening and
intense situation. Are things always as they seem? Not usually.
Oh, and the twist?
It will Blow. Your. Freaking. Mind!!!
What can I say about this book without giving
anything away? I felt the heartache and fear that Briar felt
as her world was turned upside down. I was utterly consumed by the secrets and seduction
of Lucas; a mysterious man with a heart of gold and a dark past he can't seem
to rise above, not for lack of trying. Blackbird completely blew me out of the water and I will never forget the feeling that came over me when it all fell into place. I
“I would burn the world to keep her safe."
Molly's writing shines in this novel, I need
more suspense from her because she is SO GOOD at writing it! My anxiety was crazy nuts through the roof. I would think I had it figured out and then boom...NOPE! I was in a glass
case of emotion throughout most of this novel, but the last 25% was…..
Crazy. Intense. Epic!
ALL
THE EMOTIONS.
ALL THE THINGS.
ALL THE FEELINGS.
Again, I just can’t
get over the twist!!! It will leave you with your mouth hanging wide open and then when
it's all said and done....a HUGE smile on your face.This book was
EVERYTHING. What's that saying...The devil is in the details? I am insanely
excited for the rest of the stories in the Redemption Series. Hang on to your
hats, folks, because Molly McAdams is just getting started.
“Because he is the darknessHe is the devil….…and I love him”
