Romeo Redeemed by Stacey Jay
4.0
After the dramatic conclusion of Juliet Immortal, Romeo’s fate as a corpse left me hungry for more. This book is all about his chance at redemption, not only to make up for the past atrocities he committed but also a second chance at love. While he uses an act to court Ariel, feelings he had long forgotten begin to awaken inside of him.
This was a fairly good sequel but was a bit soppy in the romance side. I’m usually not one for a romantic heavy book, so I prefer Juliet Immortal because it was filled with much more action and danger. Juliet isn’t forgotten and has her own story in this book which was the most redeeming quality of the book. She brought more excitement than Romeo and Ariel’s story.
Outside a lot of the romance was the continued struggle between Ambassador and Mercenary. Nurse is the one running things with Romeo but something sinister about her methods had me on edge. With the return of the Friar, there was the darkness seen in the first book that clashed with the romantic side of it.
I enjoyed this book for the chance for Romeo to come to terms with his real self and finding a way to redeem himself. I made it through a lot of the mushiness because of the tidbits of Juliet’s struggle and the Friar’s presence so I did enjoy the book. If you’ve read Juliet Immortal, the conclusion is a good read but in all honesty, I will always ship the two original lovers.
