Redemption (Children of the Gods
#3)
Nobody promised freedom would be peaceful…
AVAILABLE TODAY!
Lead Council member, Christoph, is dead by Elyse’s hand, and
Descendants have begun to emerge, exposing their secret to the world. Some see
this as the prophecy come to fruition, but the prophecy caries a heavy
consequence. It was never meant to be as peaceful as most had hoped.
Humans and Descendants struggle to live together in a world that isn’t ready for such a change. America is divided. Those who glorify the supernatural race believe Descendants truly are the gods they claim relation to. Others see them as a threat.
When Elyse gives birth to the next generation oracle, she sees one final vision—war. The destruction of the country’s major cities, and the end of America as we know it.
After her daughter is born, Elyse finds herself without the ability she needs to predict the future. Desperate to save the world from such conflict, she puts her faith in the hope that Descendants are the key to survival. After all, they have the power to supply a broken society with the means to survive.
Only from the ashes can a new world be born.

About The Author
JESSICA THERRIEN spent most of her
life in the small town of Chilcoot, California, high up in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. In this town of nearly 100 residents, with no streetlights or
grocery stores, there was little to do but find ways to be creative. Her
mother, the local English teacher, inspired her to do all things artistic, and
ultimately instilled in her a love for language. Jessica currently lives in
Southern California with her husband and their two children.

My Review:
I have read a lot of series where I love the first book, but after that, the series doesn't hold my attention. The Children of the Gods series is absolutely the exact opposite of that. I've loved following Elyse and her friends as they'e grown and fought, loved and lost. This last book brought the series to a wonderful close, after some seriously heartrending moments and totally craziness (in a good way!). I was glued to the pages, knuckles white over what was going on (often to some of my favorite places on the planet...San Francisco *sniff*--I promise that is the most minor spoiler I'll give!), but having to know what happened next. In terms of what would happen in the world should the events leading up to Redemption happened (as in, a bunch of people came out and revealed that they had some seriously amazing gifts and potentially could be dangerous), I didn't see any of the fallout as over the top. Frightening? Totally. Heartbreaking? No doubt. Realistic? Freakish so. Basically, if you enjoy an interesting spin on the Greek Gods in modern day, definitely check these books out!
Very pretty covers! It's always great when a series keeps your attention, as yeah, it often happens the other way...
