I was so glad when the authors approached me asking me too review this book. I can honestly say that it was 10X better than the first one!
There's a lot more action and it's very much fast paced.
The love triangle between Kai, Tristan and Emma still exists and becomes a lt more tense, deep and well intersting.
You find out a lot more about the night marchers in this follow-up, which keeps the story going.
I absolutely love Kaylee! She's such a loyal friend, she loves Emma more than anything and is...more

Firstly I would like to thank the authors for asking me to review this book before it was officially released. It’s an honour and privilege. Oh yeah, and I love this cover as much as I did the first.

Now for the really important part....

As anyone who follows me or my shared review page will know, I absolutely loved Night Marchers and quickly became a fan of these two very talented authors. It opened my eyes to a new world (which is no easy task) and for me, the story was unique. So did ‘Redempti...more

Amazing, breathtaking and a roll-coaster ride, are just some of the few words I have for this one! This was a for sure amazing second book to the series! I loved the first one but I think this one was even better. The journey Emma has to embark on to save the man in her life that she thinks she might love, but yet who gave his life for her. I love the journey Tristan, Kylee and Emma take to unravel all that has happened since Kai has been taken and find a way to bring him back. You will fall in...more

Review
Firstly I loved the first Nightmarchers, so I was really looking forward to Redemption, Nightmarchers Book 2, I was hoping it would live up to the first, and it did, I loved it. Well done ladies, you did it again.
The story continues on from where we left Emma in Nightmarchers, where she has had to leave Kai, as a Nightmarcher, he swapped places with his evil twin Kao to protect Emma, the woman he loves, I loved Kai and got quite emotional when he swapped places, Emma was not sure of her feelings towards Kai or Tristan for that matter, at the end of Nightmarchers, but I had my favourite and it was Kai.
Anyway onto Redemption, Emma has a lot to deal with throughout this book, Tristan wants to be more than just friends, which puts Emma in a bit of a predicament as she still does not know who she prefers out of Tristan and Kai, and whether or not she could save Kai, she believes that she will eventually come up with something to save him, Evil Kao really wants immortality and believes the mana from the old chiefs bones will be the way to get it, he will do anything in his power to find them, which could put Emma and her friends in danger, then there is Kayley Emma’s best friend who helps her out when she needs it the most but she does sometimes upset the applecart a-bit, being a teenage girl and not knowing the whole story, we have the Menehunes again in this book, although they are not in it much near the beginning, they are in it more towards the end of the book, but they are there for Emma and she is there for them, when they need it the most, So basically we have all the same characters, which is great as we do not have to worry about any back stories, we have many trials and tribulations, with many twists and turns that Emma has to go through to save Kai, She feels hugely responsible for his predicament as a Nightmarcher, she has to try and save Kai from his fate as a Nightmarcher, she then realises who she loves, which believe me I have been looking forward to for a while.
This book was as well written as the first, everything was the same it was just a continuous story which is just what I want for book 2, I got the ending I wanted so I am very happy, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has read the first.

I was really disappointed by the cover of this. The cover of Night Marchers is beautiful and this would be too if they hadn't unnessarily stretched it out. It looks really unproffesional. That aside, the book is pretty damn good.

We start a day or too where we left off, with Emma being driven at breakneck speed down the road by her worried father, who promptly drops her off at the airport and sends her to Kaylee, Emma's best friend. Naturally Emma concocts a plan to secretly come back almost imme...more

Emma faces the same battle in Redemption. She is torn between two people that has expressed their undying love for her. With the help of her friend's she tries to redeem Kai, after he sacrificed himself for her to the Night Marchers. How far will Emma be willing to go to save Kai, and will she be able to do so before it's too late?
As much as I absolutely adored Night Marchers, I have to say that Redemption was packing a whole lot of action. I was curling my toes in frustration and anger towards Kao and I was adamant to find out who Emma would end up falling in love with and I was 100% satisfied with who she chose.
I ended up talking about the book to my mother. Telling her about parts that I had just finished reading. Who Emma had chose. Who pissed me off. What made me giggle. She got a bit irritated because she had absolutely no idea what the hell I was talking about. :P
Again the character's are adorable. There are a few new character's and then less of some :( Which had me in puddles of tears. I was afraid to get my Ereader wet so I was equipped with a lot of kleenex :') The letter Eve reads at the end made me break down and sob like a four year old. But it was so beautifully done that I ended up smiling. Who wouldn't want a man like that in their life? Even if he did call you "Woman" :) Paul never fails to make me smile. I can picture him in my mind being all flirtsy (Not a word) and bashful :)
The ending was perfectly done. It was nice to see Emma not have anymore worries... for a while :) I also liked learning more about the legend of the Night Marchers. It was very interesting to find out that there was more to the wondering spirit warriors.
I was absolutely honoured to do this review for you ladies and I thank you for giving me the chance :)
I give this a 5*. And I would recommend to anyone that likes anything from action, drama and romance too. (less)

This book had much improvement from the first. The writing flowed very nicely and had some surprising twists thrown in there! I felt alot of different emotions...sad, happy, frustration, angry, ecstatic but it was well worth it! I like when a book pulls out alot of my emotions, it shows it to be a really good book.

SYNOPSIS:
He would endure a thousand deaths for her, but would she let him? Torn between two men that love her, Emma Townsend is forced to make choices no seventeen-year-old should ever be forced to make. With her friends at her side, Emma embarks on an adventure full of danger, deceit and betrayal as she tries to redeem Kai, the man who made the ultimate sacrifice for her.

How far will Emma be willing to go to save Kai, and will she be able to do so before it's too late?

My Review:

I enjoyed this book alot. I enjoyed the journey we got to embark on along with Emma and Kaylee. Their friendship was one of a kind. I laughed alot at Kaylee's witty sense of humor. They both remind me so much of my best friends and it made me smile. They had the perfect friendship and showed that no matter what you go through in life, you will never do it alone. There is always someone going along for the ride such as life, you just gotta have faith. I loved the love between Tristan and Emma. I was a Tristan fan since the beginning and it never altered. He was such a sweet guy and loved Emma so much. I liked Kai too. I just wished everyone could have had a happy ending. I really feel that love triangles are hard to incorporate for the author. It's gotta be hard to decide who the heroine should be with. But I enjoyed it either way. This was a great sequel regardless and I look forward to the next books that may be written in the future.(less)

Redemption is the 2nd book in the Night Marchers series and is a YA book that takes the beautiful island of Hawaii and explores some of the darker paranormal history about it.

As with the first book the story continues to be told through the eyes of the teenage Emma and her struggles with dealing with the paranormal as well as trying to balance all the normal things a teenager has to deal with.

I felt this book took a much more serious turn than the first, which considering how the first one ended...more

I received a copy of this book from the authors for a honest review. Emma is back after being sent back home to live. She and her best friend sneak back to Hawaii. Tristan is in on helping them sneak around. The reason she is back is simple. She wants to save Kai the man she loves from the Night Marchers just as he once saved her. She finds help in an unusual person Kao. Kai's brother and the reason Kai now needs help. She doesn't fully trust him because he seems to have a different plan in min...more

This book was as good as the first one. I could not put it down! I was amazed at the end of what Emma's decision was. This book was full of action right from the get go.

The way the authors incorporated the love triangle was wonderful, some authors can not write it in a book quite right, but these 2 did a wonderful job. Redemption was a great sequel to the first book Night Marchers.

Kaylee in the story reminded me a lot like my best friend. Always there for you know matter what. And I actually l...more

First of all I want to thank the authors for providing me with a free copy of "Redemption" and for writing these two wonderful books. After reading "Night Marchers" and falling in love with the book I knew I had to read "Redemption." I loved it from beginning to end. "Redemption" takes you on another roller coaster ride and leaves you wanting more. It will seem like an eternity to have to wait for the next book. I recommend "Night Marchers" and "Redemption" and if you are as sensitive as Emma (m...more

This book really rated 2.5 because of the character development but book one (grading as a series ) helped it to a 3 star.

After completing the second book in this series I can honestly say that while the story line was interesting the main character, Emma, really irritated me. Always seeming confused, guilty but most of all weak, she really pushed me over the edge in this book. I pushed though though because u wanted I know how it would end.

Redemption started right where Night Marchers left off. I was hooked pretty quickly into the story since I really liked Emma from book 1. I think the writing matured and flowed much better this time. I really enjoyed this entertaining read.

This was definitely a love triangle that could break your heart with built-love and insta-love. In stories with love triangles I think the guy the girl isn't leaning toward is the under-dog. I'll root for the under-dog to get a...more

Wow in this second book alot happens. She is forced to go back to Texas by her dad for her safety. Her amazing BFI helps her jet back to Hawaii unknown to try to find a way to save one of the Hotties that loves her. Lots of love and action is wrapped up in both of these books. Truely it would be a bad thing for you to miss out on this unigue paranormal romance. I loved every moment of both books and so.... can not wait for the third one :)

As with the first book in the series...an entertaining read. However, the same reason applies as to four stars instead of five. Numerous grammatical errors and an obvious reliance on spellcheck rather than actual editing.

The story that evolved was one I absolutely loved, and the writing was incredible. The characters are so wonderfully written that you can't help but fall in love with them.

I definitely recommend this YA series as a must read, you won't be disappointed. :)

Quotes from Redemption

“Emma, if I had to march an eternity in slavery it would be worth it knowing that you are safe. They can bind my wrists and shackle my feet, but they can't take away my memories, my heart. If I had to see you grow old from a distance with someone else, it would have been worth it. I have had more than one lifetime to learn that our love can only come around once.” — 6 people liked it
