A Night of Redemption by Kristen Banet

A Night of Redemption (Redemption Saga #5) by Kristen Banet

I enjoyed the first few books of this series but then felt like it started to drag out without really adding much substance. 

I liked how each character had a very different personality throughout all 5 books of the series. The main character, Sawyer is a strong woman who is fiercely protective of loved ones and there’s a lot of great action with magic and fighting that was entertaining. 

However, this book specifically was very difficult to finish as characters would have the exact same 5 page conversation with multiple other characters. There had to be another way to show that each character had to be updated without making us read the same thing 2-3 times each. Another thing that was constantly repeated was the characters emotions and mindsets. They may first talk to another about their thoughts, then think about it again on their own, then think about it again later. If that repetition was removed from the book it would most likely be only 1/4 of the length that’s how many things were repeated. This really took away a lot from the plot and the series itself as I felt the book was pretty unnecessary. A few extra chapters in the 4th book could have wrapped up the story just as well I think

Synopsis: Sawyer Matthews is a retired and presumed-dead assassin. Ripped from her life of shadows and secrets, she’s decided to gamble it all and accept a new chapter in her life—one that may lead to a brighter future. But her support is reeling. The men she loves are dealing with a pain she only knows too well. They’re going to need to pull themselves together, look to the future, and finish this last task. She needs them and they need her as they work together on this trying and painful case as one question looms over them, casting a shadow over their days.
