You can’t outrun your past, a mistake I learned the hard way.

Stripped of my innocence in the middle of the Californian desert, I waited for death.

Then he appeared.

My vengeful angel.

He’s everything I’m not.

He’s everything I want.

He’s everything I can never have.

I will not let my past define me.

Abandoned by my mother as a child, I would be dead if it weren’t for Jagger. He took me into the Heaven’s Rejects and saved my life.

Now I want to save hers.

The superficial cuts and bruises on her delicate skin, don’t compare to the pain lurking in her heart.

The pain I want to save her from.

Somehow, I will find a way to get through to her.

Come hell or high water, she will be mine.

Absolution is the third installment in Heaven’s Rejects MC and my first time reading Avelyn Paige.  This suspenseful story between Ricca and Ratchet will have you holding your breath to find out what will happen next in their journey.

With being new to this series, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into.  However, Absolution was well written and Paige made the characters flowed.  Behind every MC, the brotherhood is strong.  They stand beside one another.  And when the brother calls, the MC comes.   Their was something that attracted  Ratchet to Ricca.  With bringing her back from almost death, a special bond was formed between the two.   But with her quick disappearance, Ratchet will stop at nothing to find her.  He was taken back for her leaving.  Once he finds out why, he will stop at nothing to be by her side.

Absolution is a suspenseful read full of twists and turns.  With an MC book, it’s definitely not for the faint at heart.  With not knowing the other characters, I was lost.  I concentrated on Ratchet and Ricca and their chapter in life.

*ARC Review*

“You’re
okay. They’re dead and can’t hurt you anymore,” I mumble and repeat in some
stupid fucking mantra to keep the memories at bay. Every morning starts like
this. Sure, maybe I did need go back to my victim group counseling sessions,
but I knew the Kumbaya mentality they used couldn’t help me. The demons in my head
were of my own creation, and they were never just going to go away by telling
others who thought they were like me about them. I couldn’t forgive the men for
the things that they did to my body and even with their deaths, my mind would
never be able to see the world the same way. They took the last shred of my innocence
out in that desert, and it was something that I was never going to be able to
get back, even if I had ruby red slippers, clicked my heels, and said it three
times.
