Review of The Road to Redemption (Finding Grace Book 1) by D.M. Davis


THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION

When Theo and Lauren meet, there's a connection (physically and emotionally) that rocks them both. Unfortunately, she walks away before he can get more than her first name. But neither can get the other off their minds in the days following. Thank God the universe decided to let them run into each other more than once until Theo finally gets her full contact details. And that's when he decides to keep her. And keep her he will, even if he has to do it patiently, subtly, so as to not frighten her. You see, she had been brutally assaulted months earlier, and she's still feeling the after affects.


I'm of two minds about The Road to Redemption. On one hand, the story line is interesting, what with the hints of paranormal/mystical running through it. And Theo is swoony af - sweet, sexy, persistent, and patient. However, on the other hand, the story drags a lot, especially when Lauren's insecurities threaten to derail not just her relationship with Theo, but the entire plot. I felt there was too much time spent yapping about her insecurities and negative attitude, and not enough time advancing the story quicker. So I'll just settle on 3.5 stars because I absolutely loved Theo, but thought that Lauren was annoying and mopey. Don't get me wrong - I feel badly for her, but it didn't make me like her any more. But because I do like Theo, and the story itself is interesting, I'll stick to 3.5 stars, and will be looking forward to the second installment in this series.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
