Cami and Drake’s honeymoon is cut short as they
escape attacks by the Council Enforcers and head to South Africa for the
meeting of the Centaur Council, which has ordered a death sentence on Cami and
all members of the Lost Herd. The Council Chairman is her grandmother, her most
dangerous foe. Surrounded by family and friends, Drake and Cami face the
Council, Cami’s power-hungry uncles, an ambitious twin, taking the battle all
the way to Zeus to attempt to win the freedom of the Tak herd.
My take...
I had learned so much about our kind. I liked the
idea that when this life is over, we all meet again in the pastures. There are
so many things I want Mom to know. More than anything I want her to know I
found happiness right here on earth-true happiness.
***
There is one thing I have come to realize when
reading this series…not one ounce of these books is predicable. Nothing. As you
are reading along twists and turns jump out at you that you never saw coming.
And besides Cami and Drake's relationship, that is what I love most about each
of the books. I love not knowing what is about to happen. Because even when I
try to guess, I am completely blown away by what Straight does next. This lady
has serious talent when it comes to anticipation and suspense.
***
If all these blessings I had been given were
suddenly taken away, I could go to the pasture knowing without a doubt that my
life had been full. I would know that I would be missed, that my Centaur family
truly loved me. In return, I was prepared to go to the end of the earth to save
each one of them.

All those questions you’ve had from the start of
the series finally get answered. CENTAUR REDEMPTION was packed full of answers
and incredible imagination. If I had to choose a favorite out of all four, I might
possibly say this one. I felt so many emotions throughout this series, but this
one topped them all. It was such an amazing book to read and experience.
The Greek Gods will play a major role in this
final installment to the series. Sacrifices will be made that will rip your
heart into tiny, inconsolable pieces. As I was finishing the last pages of the
book I had tears pouring from my eyes. They were a mixture of sad tears and
happy ones. It truly was a magnificent ending for such a magnificent read. My
heart will forever love this series and the emotions it has brought forth. I
look forward to reuniting with them when ever Straight decides to revisit them.
(Yes, she mentions at the end we haven’t seen the last of everyone!)

“I owe you my life, because without you, I
wouldn’t want mine. I owe you my love for eternity, because before I met you, I
wasn’t convinced love existed.”

If you are a fan of Shelly Crane's SIGNIFICANCE
series, I really think you will enjoy this one. Maybe it is the writing or
familiarity of the characters that reminds me of those books. Either way, I
think you will fall for this series like I have. It is a must read that will
have you flying through all the books just to find out Cami and Drake's fate. 5
Absolutely Must Read Stars!
