Alex is determined to marry Kylie as soon as possible and start their future together. Having his father free to wreak havoc is not part of the plan. When James is found dead on Alex’s property, Alex is charged with murder—and the District Attorney is going after the death penalty.
Kylie is in for the fight of her life to get Alex acquitted. Faced with the possibility of Alex’s conviction, will Kylie go outside the law to save him?

My Rating:
4.5
Favorite Quotes:
Having money must suck – even your own family will throw you under the bus to get some of it.
I don’t love Alex because of his money … I love him in spite of it.
My Review:
Vindication provides a perfect ending to a series full of unpredictable twists and turns and more zigs than zags. The storyline was active, eventful, volcanically steamy, and tightly wound with suspense and intrigue. The finale was the best book of the three and definitely worth the journey to land on a deliciously satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed my time with this alluring couple.

Alex and Kylie have been through so much as a couple. Now it's time for them to finally have some peace or is it? I loved Alex and Kylie as a couple because everything that they have gone thru should have torn them apart. Instead it made them a stronger and better couple as the series progressed. They loved and supported each other during some very difficult times.I loved seeing her best friends, Paul and Ryan get their happy ending as well.
This was a very nice conclusion to a series and sad to see it come to an end. As always Parks writes a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and waiting to see how everything will unfold. We had some moments that I honestly didn't see coming. I've been a huge fan of Parks since her debut novel “Strangers” and it's great to see an author grow as a writer and one who has an ability to switch things up and still keep you wanting more!

I don't know how to put into words how amazingly addictive Vindication was.
Once again, Kylie and Alex go through all the emotion and Anne keeps you guessing until the last minute. She leaves you wondering who to trust but at the thick of it all, Alex and Kylie's love is paramount - they can overcome anything.
Its a great ending to a gripping series.

I absolutely loved the ending to this series. She stayed true to the characters we met in book one and two while taking us on another suspenseful journey. I really loved how she tied all parts together. The love the main characters have for each other is something most people dream and read about.
Thank you for giving us such an incredible journey

I am ecstatic I was able to consume this trilogy. Yes consume is what I did and man or man was it worth it. This author had me on pins and needles happy then sad, emotionally whipped as I turned each page and why?? Because she had such an intricate family story line going on here that you almost expected something to be revealed in each chapter and nope she didn't disappoint. Kylie against all odds retains her sanity while her world is constantly shifting and reshaping around her much too quickly for her to be completely okay with it all and Alex. . . Man he stays right there thru the shifts and changes he has determined who has his heart and who he will continue to support and love and that's all there is too it but it isn't.
You will be tempted to throw your kindle, you will have those oh crap moments, you will speak to the characters and they will probably not do what you say and then you will get to the end and say well I'll be. . .

Vindication by Anne L. Parks is book Three in the Of Demons & Stones Series. This continues the story of Kylie Tate and Alex Stone. This book is not a standalone book and does need to be read in order. The previous books are as follows: Malevolent and Revenge. This series has been revamped with new covers also. This book has Kyle and Alex enjoying their much deserved life and honeymoon but then something happens that pulls them apart. This book and series has been nothing but a page turning reads. Will be looking for more book from this author.

The ending was disappointing and I had hoped the psycho John, who is the ex of Kylie was finally caught and sent away for his crime. But, this definitely action pack and his Alex and Kylie Stone always worked to get back to one another. Their newly celebration of their marriage was shorten because Kylie was kidnapped by the one person Alex didn’t expect. Then Alex is accused of murder.. anyways I was able to hear this audiobook for my review

Amazing narration from Raquel Beattie, Orcus Auditory and Anneliese Rennie
This the third book of the trilogy . I didn’t feel like I had to listen to the first two books in order to enjoy Vindication.
A love story with ups & downs, there's mystery and deception.

Wow! What a fantastic ending to the Stone Trilogy! ... Ms. Parks sure knows how to build suspense with twists and turns! Not only was I glued to my seat, but sitting on the edge, while turning pages like crazy! "Vindication" has a unique plot and amazing attention to detail, not to mention the well defined characters! ... Get ready to be pulled into this book for an emotional roller-coaster ride with Alex and Kylie! ... This author knows how to give us contemporary romance and suspense at its best! Besides a love story with ups & downs, there's mystery and deception, too. I strongly recommend reading all 3 books in order, as I own the first 2 novels. This last book I voluntarily read without any outside influences and this is my own opinion. I honestly do recommend this must-read trilogy to all fans of fiction!

You think the HEA is about to begin and of course, Anne L Parks brilliantly adds another twisty spanner to the works! Anne manages to end this series extremely well and wraps up the intrigue and many plot twists very fittingly. Kylie's love for Alex and vice versa knows no bounds and I love how the shinning element throughout this dark series has been this developing relationship.
I certainly would recommend reading his series but you definitely have to read all three in order to keep up with the many twists and turns! A good slightly dark contemporary romance, worth a look!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reading Copy of this book

Kylie Tate gets the question of a lifetime. And she’s sharing her happiness with Alex Stone. They are a couple that seem perfect for each other.
This book starts off so happy and no offense to the author but as each chapter goes by I’m anticipating the proverbial shoe to drop. It’s terrible that I put that expectation on the author but that shows how conditioned we can become. There were some scenes that I wished that I could get into Alex’s head so I knew what he was thinking. But I loved how Kylie was letting us see her life through her eyes.
To give this author her due, when that shoe eventually did drop it wasn’t what I expected. I can honestly say it was a surprise and that just made me love this story more. It’s a story of great strength and watching that strength show up again and again in this author’s well-orchestrated scenes is what had me following Kylie and Alex’s story until the very end. And I was glad to finally see what Alex was thinking.
This was the first book of the trilogy that I read. I didn’t feel like I had to read the first two books in order to enjoy Vindication but it is like reading the ending of a book before reading the story. So if you get the chance, I would read Of Demons & Stones and Revenge first. This way you will get the full experience. The ending of this book also left me with a sense that Kylie and Alex’s “adventures” are just beginning. Can’t wait to see what this author is going to pull out of her hat next.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Vindication was the 3rd and final book in the Of Demons & Stones Series. Wow what an intense read! This whole series will keep you flipping pages to see what happens next.. But I was certainly not disappointed! There were a few times when things felt a little repetitive but in all I would give this book a 4 stars. This is not a stand-alone you need to read Of Demons & Stones and Revenge first before this book.
Alex and Kylie's journey has not be an easy one.. But just when things seem to be calming down .. There world will come crashing down once again.. Can they survive this nightmare like all the others and finally get there HEA?!
Get to one clicking because you do not want to miss this epic ending!

This is the third and final book in this series and is as good as the first two and the perfect ending! This book does not disappoint!
"One year ago today, you were running along, minding your own business when you stopped to help a poor guy with a broken down Maserati. You let him borrow your cell phone and then schooled him in basic mechanics and misogyny."
I loved this couple. They were so perfect for each other. Supporting characters are wonderful also. Just when you think Kylie and Alex will get their happily ever after, more tumultuous events occur!
Really, that's what life is....battling through dark for even a little bit of light.
This book proves to be quite a ride, with more trials and tribulations for this couple. I really enjoyed this entire series....each book was a 5 star read for me. If you enjoy contemporary romance tied up with legal suspense, I highly recommend!
Always. Forever.
