Review: Every book in this series seems to be better than the last, and that's saying something because the first one was amazing. Atoning conviction, while a crucial part of the series, breaks off into a dark and twisted beast of it's own. It has it's trigger warnings for a reason and, out of the 5 books, this one is the heaviest emotionally. Do not let this dissuade you from reading, unless you have issues with the triggers.
Phoenix's story picks up after the bombing, and we truly find out what is happening. I don't want to spoil any of the details but nothing is as it seems. The entire book is Phoenix's quest for understanding, while being subjected to physical, mental, and emotional abuse. While in captivity, he meets Callie, a woman who has a fire in her eyes and proves she's no damsel in distress. She's fighting her own battles, while trying to stay alive and whole, and not fall for the captive, "813". While both prisoners without the truth, they prove to each other that they're not who they seem to be and have to decide if they can truly trust the other to help them.
While their story is full of hurt, you will be left knowing there's another book in the works and they are alive. Phoenix's name just proves how much of an overcomer he truly is, with a fiery passion and protective heart. And Callie, she's a wild card I didn't see coming but I 100% wish I had her own my team. I whole-heartedly recommend reading this book with breaks so you can process everything but you'd probably be fine binging it because it's just that good.
