Romeo Redeemed by Stacey Jay

5.0

I had this book sitting on my shelf for a year before I finally picked it up. I was very apprehensive about it because I did not like Romeo at all in the first book but I absolutely fell in love with him in this one. It was interesting to see a different side of Romeo in this one and to see his struggle with forgiving himself for his past. His character was so complex and I loved reading from his POV.

Usually I don't like it when books switch POVs back and forth but it really does work in this one, I was equally interested in Ariel's POV as I was with Romeo. I really liked Ariel's character (though she was crazy at times), I liked learning more about her and seeing her struggle with her dark side.

I really enjoyed Romeo and Ariel's relationship. It wasn't easy and they definitely had some serious bumps in the road and even though they did fall in love quick, it didn't feel quick. They only had 3 days together but it felt like they were together much longer and their relationship developed a lot slower (compared to Juliet Immortal). I also loved that they brought out the best in each other. Ariel brought out the good in Romeo, the sincere part of him and he brought out a much stronger side of Ariel.

The ending was really interesting and there's some twists that I didn't expect. I liked how things turned out and overall I really enjoyed this one, even more than Juliet Immortal.
