With "Redeeming 6," I continue to adore these characters so so much. Like, it's probably unhealthy. Joey and Aoife's story is heart wrenching in a different way than Shannon and Johnny's. Joey is on the edge of self destruction and he begins to drag Aoife right down with him. I think the characters and the dynamic of their strenuous yet persistent relationship is written so well and I ate up the crumbs of when they were actually happy (which was pretty scarce here). 

I was a little frustrated to have most of the book just contain the contents of Binding and Keeping 13 from Joey and Aoife's perspectives, but it did reveal a lot that we as readers didn't know anything about, specifically the bomb that is

Aoife's pregnancy?! I had gotten this spoiled for myself a little bit but honestly thought it was fan fiction or something because I really couldn't believe that these two characters could have yet another bomb dropped on them (and have it go well?) I think my problem was that there was no indication why Aoife wanted the baby so to me it didn't make that much sense as a plot point - especially because at times it took away from her development (like she didn't have any characteristics beyond being pregnant. Alas, I did eat up most of this book and the last couple chapters were amazing. I loved seeing them all finally happy because that's exactly what they deserve.

I love this universe and these characters so so much.
