The Redemption of Callie and Kayden Sorensen Jessica 9780751552614 Books

Anytime I pick up a Jessica Sorensen novel I know that I need to have a few things handy: time (because I'm not going to want to stop reading), my phone (so I can text Courtney with my angsty angst fest), and alcohol (to help me cope with the emotions). The Redemption of Callie and Kayden was no different. I had all three of my requirements at my disposal and I used them. Haha! This! Yes. That is the required arsenal, though no EtOH on my part...(Sorry. Just worked a detox unit this week...that's alcohol.)

It's true that the horror of their stories was revealed in the first book and that was painful. This book deals with the aftermath. It was hard to read sometimes, not because of the writing but because I wanted to get to the resolution, I wanted my happy and it took a while to get there. I kept a keen eye on the %...because I was so wary of what lay ahead. I was nervous as hell...and to be honest...that is why it has taken me ages to read this next installment.

Kayden and Callie both worry, a lot, about how their decisions have negatively impacted the other. They are very much in their heads..withholding their fears and worries to protect the other. While this sort of drives me apes*** crazy, and I'd love for them to spill their guts early and often, I also understand their reticence. They love each other enough to want the best. They know that not having the other one will be crushing, but they are willing to walk away if it means the other one will live a healthier, happier life. Problem with that, though, is that they want and need each other so badly that not being with each other..it won't do. This killlllled. Why do we do this to ourselves. Please, I would like to know. But then flip that over and put yourself in their shoes. Their lives have been in the darkest pits of hell horrible for them...and I just can't understand their motivations simply because I don't share those experiences. The writing made my stomach hurt, my heart speed up...made me kind of sweat a little bit...waiting. Waiting for that one thing to happen that we all were worrying about. My heart broke when it did...and it is nice to have somewhat of an anti-hero in this series to be the one that needs saving. And if I didn't use that particular word correctly, Shel, I apologize.

Thankfully, between Luke and Seth, Kallie gathers her strength and begins to take the hard steps of opening herself up to Kayden. She tries to break through his barriers and show him how much she cares. With her persistence, he finally starts coming around and that's when things begin to fall into place for them. Luke and Seth were the biggest surprises of all. Okay, Seth...I take that back. He's been awesome from the beginning and is so self-assured...but Luke really surprised me and I suddenly realized...Hey. Luke. Violet + Luke. The next book. *mind blown* I'm slow. I apologize. I can't wait for the next books!

This novel is not action packed with major revelations but it is emotional and engaging. I'm very interested in Luke's story which is coming up on our list very soon. We can't help but binge of Jessica Sorensen. When we read one, we have to read three or four. Luckily her list is growing at the speed of light (she is a rock star writer!) and we have plenty to choose from!

Shelley: 4 Stars
Courtney: 4 Stars

The Redemption of Callie and Kayden Sorensen Jessica 9780751552614 Books Reviews

After being left with such a crazy cliffhanger in book one, we return to find out that Kayden is in the hospital, Callie is missing him something fierce, and both of them are at a loss as to how to fix their problems and move forward. Thank God for Seth & Luke, because otherwise I’m pretty sure Callie would have lost it.

Instead, it was so awesome to see the determination flit into Callie’s eyes. She’s transforming into someone with confidence, determination and strength. While she still has her demons, she’s focused on helping Kayden destroy his. Kayden’s not unwilling to face them, but he really doesn’t know how. And he doesn’t want to hurt Callie any more than he thinks that he already has.

AHHHH, young emotional angsty love. There’s plenty of drama as you’ve come to expect, and the writing is impeccable. I was once again sucked into this book and tossed aside all of the other ones I was supposed to be reading. What? There was nothing else that I wanted to do but read this series. Get ready to hold on for an emotionally gripping ride. It’s a true NA, where love story meets coming of age – and it’s really well done.

Unfortunately that ending AGAIN left me a unfulfilled. Thank god there’s a conclusion book for their story because I could not be left like that. GOD I’M SO NEEDY.
I really love these characters and the story line. They struggle through their problems and persevere and grow though the process. There was a lot I loved about this book, but it just needed to have so much more. There were many area in the story that were drug out and repetitive and then the important parts were just glossed over.

**Spoiler**

I was disappointed that there is no confrontation with Caleb, he just disappears. Then the same this happened with Kayden's family, they just disappear with no confrontation or closure. I am OK with the Luke stuff being left up in the air, since he is getting his own story, but I am assuming this is the last book that is going to be written in Callie and Kayden's POV. I am sure we will see more of them and learn more in the next book, but it wont be the same since it will be focused on Luke and Violet's stories.

I just don't understand why the author wasted so many great opportunists to make the story more intense and so much better.

I also did not appreciate how long we had to wait for this book to come out. It seems to be very common for authors to write multiple series simultaneously. I don't understand why they don't finish one series and then start the next one, so the readers are not left waiting so long between books. The story really looses something when they are so far apart. I was confusing this book with another one that I read a while ago and it took me a while to sort the two out and get back into the story and the characters.

**spoilers**

It was a good book, but it had the potential to be great, and I wish it would have lived up to that potential.
