Everything Under the Sun by Jessica Redmerski

Thais Fenwick was eleven-years-old when civilization fell, devastated by a virus that killed off the majority of the world’s population. For seven years, Thais and her family lived in a community of survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders, she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about.

Atticus Hunt is a troubled soldier in Lexington City who has spent the past seven years trying to conform to the vicious nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. He knows that in order to survive, he must abandon his morals and his conscience and become like those he is surrounded by. But when he meets Thais, morals and conscience win out over conformity, and he risks his rank and his life to help her. They escape the city and set out together on a long and perilous journey to find safety in Shreveport, Louisiana. 

Behind the Hands That Kill (In the Company of Killers #6) by J.A. Redmerski [Review]

Even professional killers need vacations, but for Victor Faust, his vacation in Venezuela is about more than relaxation and time alone with Izabel Seyfried. It is a chance for him to come clean to Izabel: to tell her the truth about why he sent her to Italy with his brother, the truth behind his interest in Nora Kessler, and about his knowledge of Izabel’s child with her former captor. But before Victor can spill his soul, reality proves that for some killers, vacations are just pipe-dreams.

Attacked and kidnapped, Izabel finds herself stuffed in a suitcase, while Victor later wakes up imprisoned in a cage. In any other situation, Victor would find a way out and save himself and the woman he loves—but not this time. When the identities of their kidnappers are revealed, Victor loses all hope, and begins the mental process of accepting his and Izabel’s last moments together. And Izabel’s final moments of life.

The Black Wolf (In the Company of Killers #5) J.A. Redmerski [Review]

Since devastating secrets were uncovered by Nora Kessler, Niklas Fleischer and Victor Faust have been divided as business partners and brothers. But ultimately Niklas is persuaded to lead a mission to Italy, and he sees it as an opportunity to set in motion forgiveness—or retribution—for his brother’s betrayal.

The mission: play the role of a wealthy German investor and kidnap a beautiful, notorious madam named Francesca Moretti. No stranger to these types of roles, Niklas is the best man for the job, but this time the risks will be much greater as he will not be doing it alone. Izabel Seyfried, still fresh out of a life of imprisonment and sex slavery, could be negatively affected by the things she will see in Moretti’s mansion, and Niklas must keep her in line so she does not blow their cover and get them killed.

The Moment of Letting Go by J.A. Redmerski [Review+ Giveaway]

You can follow the rules or you can follow your heart…

THE MOMENT OF LETTING GO

Sienna Murphy never does anything without a plan. And so far her plans have been working. Right after college, she got a prestigious job and gained the stability she’d always craved—until work takes her to the sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.

Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he’s convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can’t deny the deep connection he feels. But there’s a reason Luke doesn’t do long-term. He can’t promise Sienna forever, when the enormity of his past has shown him just how fragile the future can be.

Reviving Izabel (In the Company of Killers #2) by J.A. Redmerski [Audio Review]

Determined to live a dark life in the company of the assassin who freed her from bondage, Sarai sets out on her own to settle a score with an evil sadist. Unskilled and untrained in the art of killing, the events that unfold leave her hanging precariously on the edge of death when nothing goes as planned.

Sarai’s reckless choices send her on a path she knows she can never turn back from and so she presents Victor with an ultimatum: help her become more like him and give her a fighting chance, or she’ll do it alone no matter the consequences. Knowing that Sarai cannot become what she wants to be overnight, Victor begins to train her and inevitably their complicated relationship heats up.

As Arthur Hamburg’s right-hand man, Willem Stephens, closes in on his crusade to destroy Sarai, she is left with the crushing realization that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. But Sarai, taking on the new and improved role of Izabel Seyfried, still has a set of deadly skills of her own that will prove to be all she needs to secure her place beside Victor.

Killing Sari (In the Company of Killers #1) by J.A. Redmerski [Audio Review + Author Guest Post]

 Sarai was only fourteen when her mother uprooted her to live in Mexico with a notorious drug lord. Over time she forgot what it was like to live a normal life, but she never let go of her hope to escape the compound where she has been held for the past nine years.

Victor is a cold-blooded assassin who, like Sarai, has known only death and violence since he was a young boy. When Victor arrives at the compound to collect details and payment for a hit, Sarai sees him as her only opportunity for escape. But things don’t go as planned and instead of finding transport back to Tucson, she finds herself free from one dangerous man and caught in the clutches of another.

Seeds of Iniquity (In the Company of Killers, #4) by J.A. Redmerski

Seeds of Iniquity by J.A. Redmerski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5+++++++++ I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH STARS

Okay, first off, I was scared by the reviews. I love J.A. Redmerski, she’s the type of author I will read ANTYHING by so when I read the mixed reviews. I was apprehensive at first. I just didn’t want to be disappointment.

I WAS AMAZED, SHOCKED, IN AWED, LOVED

This was a fantastic read and if you need something to slap you on the head and make you go crazy with good angst then SEEDS of INIQUITY is for you.

I was surprised on how short this one was, but in all honesty it was perfect, just the right amount of Izabel and Victor. Seeds of Iniquity had a little bit of mixture of all the characters in Victor’s new Order, but this is mostly Victor and Izabel’s story.

I would tell you to read this without knowing anything, but if you must know, the story starts out with Nora. Nora kidnapped people who are related to the people in the Order. She’s held captive by Victor’s people and now Victor has to find out where the captives are.

Nora only wants one thing. She wants to learn everyone’s secrets. She will talk to each person in the order, once she is done learning each one’s darkest secrets, she will tell them where she held the captives.

It’s a simple plot and it makes such a great read. As each person goes in to talk to Nora, everyone will go out a little different. You will learn everyone’s secrets. I was on the edge of my seat THE ENTIRE TIME. I felt like I couldn’t take any more intense emotions, but I kept on reading because I couldn’t put it down.

If you love this series as much as me, you will get everything you are looking for. You will get more glimpses to each character and the buildup for the next book.

If you have not started this series or this book, then stop what you are doing and read this NOW

Seeds of Iniquity (In the Company of Killers, #4) by J.A. Redmerski

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: SEEDS OF INIQUITY is NOT a prequel about Fredrik Gustavsson as previously stated. It is a brand new present day book.

Victor Faust’s new Order is growing. Business is good as there is no rest for the wicked in an underground world of hardcore criminals and contract killing. Relationships among the operatives have changed little over the past year—but things are about to change now, and all six high-ranking members of the new Order will be blindsided by an unlikely enemy.

 

Loved ones whose only ties to Victor’s organization are their relationships with its members, are abducted. The price to get them back safely—the six must confess their deepest, darkest secret to this mysterious young woman named Nora, who is as deadly as she is beautiful, and who seems to know more about each of them than they know about each other. And although no one has any clue about who Nora really is, it becomes clear that she also isn’t who she appears to be.

 

So much more is at stake than secrets and the lives of innocent loved ones; with each member that Nora forces to confess, the truth about their dark pasts and their present objectives will cast suspicion, pit some against each other, and may tear others apart.

 

Before the game is over everyone will know who this woman is and why she is here, but the damage she will leave in her wake could be the beginning of the new Order’s destruction.

Whose dark secret will be the darkest of all? And can Victor’s Order survive any of them?

 

Excerpt

 

Something inside of me snaps, and my eyes spring open wildly in my face. I scream out something I can’t even decipher and finally get my fingers between the chain and my throat. I pull it away with everything in me, spurred on by rage and vengeance and the will to live, until I overpower her and set my neck free, slamming her legs down against the floor.

She starts to crawl away on her hands and knees in the direction of my overturned chair. I leap to my feet, pulling Pearl from my boot before I’m fully upright, and I’m standing over her with the blade against her throat and the back of her hair in my fist, pulling her neck back as far as it’ll go without snapping.

“I’ll cut off more than your finger, bitch!”

She freezes; her hips and pelvis and legs pressed against the floor; the whites of her eyes visible to me as I stand over her from behind.

“Where is Dina?!” I yank on her scalp, pulling her neck back even farther; if she even flinches the wrong way the blade will break the skin and she knows it. “Fuck these games of yours! Tell me where you took her!”

“Come closer and I’ll tell you,” she says with difficulty, her voice strained.

Without even thinking about it I do, but I keep the blade against her throat as I sit down on her back.
“Try anything and I’ll kill you,” I growl, my lips next to her ear.

She doesn’t try to fight back, but I’m not feeling defeat from her. It’s something else. That confidence about her that I’ve grown to despise. Even though I’m the one sitting on top of her, the one with the knife pressed to her throat, I can’t help feel like she’s still the one in control.
“Where is she?” I whisper harshly against the side of her face.

“If you want Dina Gregory to live,” she says, still in a whisper too low for the audio to pick up, “then you and I need to have a talk about the specifics of the relationship you had with Javier Ruiz.”
It feels like an eternity that I sit on top of her, straddling her back, lost in some kind of stunned submission. I can’t find words. Or my heartbeat. And my mind is running away from me.
Then my knife hand begins to tremble and my breathing becomes unsteady.

I slide the knife away from her throat, push her head down forcibly against the tile with the other hand, shoving myself angrily to my feet and off of her. I don’t look at her when she gets up, struggling into a stand with her ankles bound. And I look only at the floor when she shuffles right past me, picking up her black heels along the way, and goes back over to her seat on the other side of the table.

I keep my back to her, unable to move; my eyes beginning to burn from the angry tears pushing their way to the surface. My knife is gripped within my hand firmly, resting down at my side. I feel like using it on myself.

“Shall we begin?” Nora says as calmly as ever, waiting for me at the table.

The Swan & the Jackal (In the company of killers, #3) by J.A. Redmerski

The Swan & the Jackal by J.A. Redmerski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 (This book is seriously FUCKED up) Stars

Disclaimer - > The Swan and the Jackal is NOT a romance book.

When I started The Swan and the Jackal I was upset by the disclaimer. I heard it was a dark read, but I had no idea what it was about. I love the series. I gave the previous books all five stars, so I was REALLY excited about this one.

You will either Love or Hate this book

The Swan and the Jackal is not for everyone. Whatever you thought about the series, don’t throw it out the window, but know it does not mirror the previous two books. The only thing I can tell you is that yes, The Swan and the Jackal is dark and many many many many times you will be thinking a certain thing to only have JA Redmerski, rape you in the ass and slap you in the face.

I couldn’t get enough of it. I’ve never thought in a million years I would love these type of dark reads, but somehow it just consumed me.

Tortured Hero? Check

Messed up / Damsel in distress Heroine? Check

Impossible love triangle Check

Death, killings, blood and gore Check

Summary

From the previous books, we know Fredrik tortured his ex-wife and she was the only person he couldn’t break. He loves her completely, but she betrayed him. He wants nothing more than to find her again. There are some underlying issues (well major issues), but from what we gather, he wants to either torture or kill Seraphina.

Six years later, Cassia is almost killed my Seraphina, but Cassia escapes. Fredrik believes Cassia is the closest thing to Seraphina, but Cassia is so traumatized by Seraphina, Cassia doesn’t remember anything. Thus begins a CRAZY relationship between Cassia, Fredrik and Seraphina.

Review

The heart of the book goes to Fredrik. What I love about this series so much is the intensity and emotions each character represents. The love Fredrik has for Seraphina just guts you. As crazy as it seems, I want that love. It’s the CRAZY love I adore reading.

Fredrik doesn’t go too much into detail of his past with Seraphina (because there will be a book on that) but what we do know is that his relationship with his ex-wife was VERY intense and very dependent. Fredrik was very dependent on Seraphina and it was to the point where she destroyed him.

The relationship between Fredrik and Cassia is very delicate and much messed up. Fredrik tries to controls his emotions towards Cassia. He knows he needs Cassia, but Cassia’s innocence gets in Fredrik way. In a way Cassia’s devotion to Fredrik mirrors Fredrik’s devotion to Seraphina. Cassia is very dependent on Fredrik, almost to the point where it’s consuming.

I simply loved it

I was very happy to know this wasn’t a love story. I know you are probably scratching your head because my review is about three people who are involved with each other. Yes, all three characters are in some way involved with each other, but each are with an issue, loving a person you shouldn’t.

I believe Redmerski wrote a beautiful story about emotions, feelings and what a person is willing to do in the eyes of love. I understand the mixed reviews, this book isn’t for everyone.

The reason why I love dark reads so much is because sometimes loving someone isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes loving someone means, pain, confusion, blood and a lot of heart ache.

Reviving Izabel (In the Company of Killers, #2)

“If you touch me,” I say to the suit-clad guard standing outside Hamburg’s private room, “I’ll put your nuts in a meat-grinder.”

The guard’s nostrils flare and he glances at Willem Stephens.

“You requested a meeting with Mr. Hamburg,” Willem says from behind. “It’s only proper that you be searched for weapons before we allow you inside.”

Damn it! 

Calm. Just keep calm. Do what Izabel would do.

I breathe in a heavy breath and sneer at both of them menacingly. Then I throw my little black purse at the guard; he catches it as it hits his chest.

“I think it’s safe to say I couldn’t hide a weapon wearing a dress like this unless I put it up my cunt,” I snap, looking back at Willem Stephens. “My gun is in the purse. But don’t even think of touching—”

“Let her in,” a familiar voice says from the door.

It’s Arthur Hamburg, still as porky and grotesque as he was before, wearing an oversized suit ready to bust at the buttons if he exhales too deeply.

I smirk at the guard who glares back at me with murder in his eyes. I know that look, I’m all too intimate with it just the same. He takes the gun from my purse and hands the purse back to me.

“Mr. Hamburg,” Willem Stephens says, “I should remain with you.”

Hamburg shakes his double-chinned head. “No, you mind the restaurant. These people aren’t here to kill me or else they wouldn’t be so obvious. I’ll be fine.”

“At least leave Marion outside the door,” Willem suggests, glancing at the guard.

“Yes,” Hamburg agrees. “You stay here, let no one interrupt our…,” he looks at me once coldly, “…meeting, unless I ask for an interruption. If at any time you no longer hear my voice for a full minute, come inside the room. As a precaution, of course.”

He smirks at me.

“Of course,” I mimic and smirk right back at him.

Arthur Hamburg steps to the side and gestures me in with an opened hand, palm-up.

“I thought this was over, Miss Seyfried.”

Hamburg shuts the door.

Edging to a 3.5 stars

This will be a difficult review to write.  I loved The Edge of Never, it was a six star read for me and a top on my list of favorites.  I have been waiting F.O.R.E.V.E.R for The Edge of Always and as much as it pains me to say this, I was left disappointed.

I need to first put this out there.  There are a lot of five star reviews for The Edge of Always and I can understand that.  It’s just a matter of taste and personal preference.  The sequel did not affect me like the five star reviewers and I guess when it comes down to it, if an author is going to write a sequel on a couple you absolutely love, what can the author write about that will hold your interest?

I love Andrew and Cam.  I love Andrew period and yes one of the reasons is because he has the same name as my husband.  So when we leave off from The Edge of Never, it was a HEA right?  The two couple is moving forward (this is not a spoiler).

So, there needs to be tension right for book two?  I think this is where I had a hard time in enjoying the book. I couldn’t agree with the tension.  I am the type of reader that likes couples to go against the world, where they use their love for each other to work out struggling issues.  The issues come from a third party and or external force.  I do not like it when the tension is between the Heroine and Hero.  It’s because I already went through that. I went through the couple’s struggles in the first book and I simply do not want to go over that again.

So, yes, Cam and Andrew go through issues and as a result of these issues, it creates tension in the relationship.  I honestly believe a lot of things could have been resolved with a conversation or just pure logical reasoning.  Cam was silly, she frustrated me and I wanted to slap her.  If I want to slap anyone in a book, it’s the downfall for me.

Now, there’s other things that go on and at one point (we all know what I am talking about, if you have read it) I was kind of like, oh yeah this is perking my interest! I want this kind of drama, and then just as I was getting into it, the thing fizzes out.

And then towards the second half the story drags.  I hate to do this because I love Redmerski so much (yes I have a girl crush on her), but I **gasp** skimmed! I know I hide my face in shame. I just didn’t care about this or that, that or this. So what? Big deal? Let’s get something going on.

I don’t know where the story was suppose to take me.  I wanted to feel for Andrew and Cam, but what I got was a young couple going through problems, but reacting kind of ridiculous and then boring.

I say this though, you may not react the same way as me.  If you are true Andrew and Cam fan, please read this book.  If there is another book in the series, I will read it.  I will read anything by Redmerski because to me, she is one of the top writers.  I have faith in her and I just think she may have been snatched by aliens when she wrote this book.

Sorry, I went there. But I really do love Andrew, Cam and Redmerski.  I hope I’m not hated by many after this review.

An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review

“Get up, birthday girl,” Andrew announces from somewhere near the foot of the bed. I hear him slap the tabletop by the window with the palm of his hand repeatedly.

I roll over onto my side, putting my back toward the bright sun and then burrow underneath the sheets. A gust of cold air hits me when Andrew snatches the sheets off me.

“Oh come on!” I moan, drawing my knees toward my chest and pulling the pillow over my head. “I should be able to sleep in on my birthday.”

Suddenly my body is being dragged off the bed and my arms come up wildly, trying to hold on to the edge of the mattress. Andrew’s hand is wrapped firmly around my ankle. I kick and flail, trying to get away, but he drags me across the bed so fast and without much effort that I just give up. My butt hits the floor and the sheets tumble down and around me.

“You are such an ass!” I laugh.

“But you love me. Now get up.”

With my hair all tangled around my head, I look up at him and pout. He smiles at me and reaches out his hand. I take it, and he pulls me into a stand.

“Happy birthday, babe,” he says and pecks me on the lips.
