Redemption's Edge is a brilliant conclusion to Alyssa Day's Vampire Motorcycle Club trilogy. The entire trilogy is action packed and yet still overflows with an interesting backstory, family and love.

While Redemption's Edge can be read as a standalone story, readers will get much more out of it if they read Bane's Choice and Hunter's Hope first. Being able to come into the story with the buildup that Day has created between between Edge and Meara (as well as the ever-present "bad guys" they've all been battling) over the course of the trilogy will make the inevitable conclusion of the story sing that much louder. I will admit that more than once I was catching myself yelling at the characters to "JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER" but that's a trop that I don't think will ever go away - miscommunication/no communication leads to such great endings (at least in books).

Not only does Day give her readers some super steamy romance, but she's kind enough to toss in a significant amount of action as well with one heck of a battle at the end. Yes, this trilogy could have spanned maybe one more book had it ended when I thought it ended, but turn the page and you find an epilogue that gives you just enough information more to feel satisfied with where everyone ended up aside from one ... I need more of his story, Alyssa ... you know who I mean.... maybe a novella?

Yes, there are cliches; yes, there are tropes; yes there are moments of open-door romance that will make you seriously blush, but would you want any less from the brilliant mind behind the Warriors of Poseidon? What I'd like now is to see these lovely vampires, witches and weres find themselves in the same reality as the warriors because that would make this reader's dreams complete. I also wouldn't mind a certain head vampire meeting a certain Tiger Shifter ... IYKYK.

So, I will admit that I thought this was a standalone and I read book three first. So my review might be a little biased because I have not read the first two books (which I HIGHLY recommend doing before reading this one lol). To me the book felt like it was all over the place and the world building was pretty interesting. Although, I will say that despite the fact that I read book three first, I didn’t feel too lost in the storyline. I mean the characters relationships and some of the stuff was obvious that I missed it in the first two books but despite that fact, I did enjoy this book a lot. The idea and premise behind the vampires abilities felt pretty unique to me and I enjoyed reading about Meara and Edge realizing they love each other and all the small jokes about Edge’s name were hilarious. Overall, I would recommend reading the first two books first and then enjoying this lovely conclusion to this trilogy because this book was pretty good!

Vampires, Angels, Demons, Werewolves, Witches, etc., This book had so many interesting elements and characteristics that made it a great read. The FMC was developed well, and made me reminiscent of the classic paranormal fantasy books read in my younger teenage years. If you know, you know. This was obviously for a more mature audience, and the cultivation of that with the paranormal world meshed together so well.

The whole plot was well developed and executed, giving the reader enough context about the world and characters, even if they hadn’t read the previous books in the series. (I didn’t know it was the third in a series. I blame myself but that’s beside the point) The reader could quickly understand the concept of the world and was able to make the distinction between the different characters and elements within the story.

Ultimately it was a very enjoyable read and an experience I would recommend participating in. Thanks to Alyssa Day for writing such a wonderful book.

Told in 3rd person POV, this was just not a read I was able to get into. The story itself might have had legs but between the POV and the authors writing style, I was not able to get into this book.

Conclusion of the Vampire Motorcycle Club series.
Meara Master Vampire and Edge scientist turned Vampire must find a way to control their emotions. Edge has a ticking time bomb in his brain and Meara has seen the devastation that can occur when she lets her full emotions loose.
Can love change this stalemate. The war with the enemy the Chamber is coming to a head and the stakes are all or nothing for the whole family of vampires, wolves, and witches.
This is an exciting conclusion, but l would recommend reading the series in order you will enjoy it to the fullest.
Thank you NetGalley and (publisher) for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

This book delivers a heart-pounding finale to the Vampire Motorcycle Club series, perfectly blending romance, action, and supernatural intrigue. The novel centers around Meara Delacourt, a centuries-old vampire with a deceptive socialite exterior, and Edge, a vampire with a scientific mind whose love could spell their doom. Their tumultuous relationship, marked by intense attraction and dangerous secrets, is the story's heart. Set against an impending war with a dark coven, the narrative thrives on its rich character dynamics, seamlessly blending humor, love, and adrenaline-fueled battles. The strong sense of family among the characters adds depth, making this book not just a tale of forbidden love but also a testament to resilience and unity in the face of darkness.

I was so disappointed in this book. It took me forever to finish it because I just couldn't get into it. Both main character's were in their heads so much about why they couldn't be together, but they were together. I only finished it to find out what happened with the Chamber and other characters. I'm willing to try more by the author, I just couldn't get into this one.

Alyssa's storytelling always takes me in quite the adventure. Book #3 in the Vampire Motorcycle Club trilogy and be ready to have your mine blown.

In this Alyssa Day book, the main couple of vampires that are dealing with a villainous group as well as their feelings for each other. The vampiric couple are attracted to each other, but their pasts are keeping them from pursuing a romantic relationship. They thought that they can just have sexual relations with each other, but deeper feelings appear. Now they must tackle what their relationship should be as they faced against the villains that want to control the city of Savannah.

This is the conclusive book for the VAMPIRE MOTORCYCLE CLUB series. This was a nice end to this paranormal romantic series that should be read in order as there is a series premise in all the books that had a satisfying ending in this story. I liked the main couple, but I really enjoyed reading about the secondary characters, especially the couples from the previous books in the series. It would have been nice to have a bit more details in certain areas of the story, but this book is still an enjoyable read. Overall, an entertaining series from an author that I look forward to reading more works in the future.

I've loved this series from the start and I've been waiting for more! Redemption's Edge really brings it with action and romance. I was invested in Meara and Edge from the very first pages, and I couldn't wait to keep reading to see what happens to them.

What I've liked about this series from the beginning is that it doesn't take itself too seriously! Like having a volleyball game between the wolves and the vamps, and angels and all the supes. There's a bit a lightness and humor to what could be a dark story. And I just really like all these characters, starting with Bane and Ryan's story. It just works for me, and I can just escape right into the story.

The yearning between Edge and Meara is off the charts as they go to defeat the infamous Lord Neville and the Chamber. Even though it could kill them both, they are still so into each other. It's just lovely.

Redemption's Edge is a terrific ending to this wonderful supernatural romance series.

This is book 3 on the Vampire Motorcycle Club and it can be read as a standalone, I did as I haven't read any of the previous books. I didn't realize it was part of a series, but I enjoyed it so I will be going back to read those. Meara Delacourt loves being underestimated, especially when it comes to her enemies. Few know that the wealthy socialite and philanthropist is a 300-year-old master vampire—or the horror that rains down when her emotions spiral out of control. The consequences are nothing short of devastating. Which is why she can’t risk an attraction to the irritating, arrogant, and unbelievably hot Edge…even if she wanted to. And oh, she does. Scientist-turned-vamp Edge knows exactly what it’s like to fear emotions. He keeps a tight rein on his, knowing that—thanks to being the subject of a cruel experiment—falling in love is an instant trigger for his death. Fortunately, he can control himself…he has no choice. But the golden, sexy-as-hell Meara is one temptation he can’t find a cure for. Now they’re forced to fight the pull of their attraction, knowing that every moment of surrender brings them closer to the edge of disaster. But as the Chamber—a sinister organization of ancient warlocks—decides to seize control of Savannah, they’ll have no choice but to fight together, knowing it could spell doom for them all. Especially when the Chamber reveals the one secret that could end it all.

Like I said above, I hadn't read any of the other books but I really liked this one. Meara and Edge have this chemistry together that you can't help but want to see more of. But they also have been through so much in their lives, and it makes them question what they could have. I loved how their story played out and how the other characters are truly their family. It's a little slow in some parts but for the most part, the story flows and goes pretty decently paced. And I am definitely going back and reading the rest because I really need all of their stories now as well! I don't want to say a lot and spoil it for anyone, but if you like vampire stories-you will definitely like this one!

A satisfying conclusion to the series. We learn more about Meara and Edge and why they each fight their attraction so hard. But surprise, surprise the harder they fight it, the harder they fall.

Meara Delacourt loves being underestimated, especially by her enemies. The wealthy socialite and philanthropist is a 300-year-old vampire, who can unleash terror when her emotions spiral out of control. Which is why she can't risk falling for the arrogant, unbelievably hot scientist Edge.

Edge knows what it's like to fear emotions. A cruel experiment means he must keep a tight rein on his emotions. If he falls in love it can trigger his death instantly. But the temptation of Meara is proving to be too much for the scientist-turned-vampire.

Each is fighting the pull of their attraction because surrendering to it could be disastrous. But with the Chamber closing in on them, they must fight together, even though it spell doom for them all.

Thank you so much to the author and Entangled for this ARC to review.

The paranormal MC club romance I didn't know I was missing.
Redemptions Edge was a great standalone in a paranormal series. There are werewolves, sorcerers, vampires, half angels, and much more that draw you in and keep you hooked. There is found family and forbidden love (like you fall in love you DIE type forbidden love). The backstories of the characters were well thought out and revealed at the right times to keep the story moving but not giving you too much to keep you reading. I found myself drawn to Edge and Meara as they were both very strong independent characters drawn to one another but having to navigate some supernatural obstacles. The side characters were great and I will definitely be going back to read the previous books in the series to spend a little more time in this world.

I have loved every entry in this series and have been eagerly awaiting Meara and Edge's story and it was completely amazing. The balance of intense emotion and intense action is utterly perfect, so as you read you can expect your heart to get a workout right along with your pulse rate. Plenty of drama and excitement are skillfully paired with lots of steam and wonderfully sharp glimmers of humor to create a story seizes hold and does not let go and trust me you won't want it to. An incredible read and a not to be missed series.

This was a great read filled with tons and tons of suspense and drama, friendships, love, betrayals, love happiness revenge, and a ton of emotion.

Meara and Edge have been dancing around what they feel for one another for some time but, being together for each dangerous for both for totally different reasons and it becomes harder for them to stay away from one another. We loved that they were willing to explore things as they would make a wonderful couple. Meara needs to be wanted and loved other than her family. We loved Meara she was a fierce warrior and a protector of those she loved. She has so much to give her heart is huge and were are rooting for her to find love and happiness as her brothers have.

Edge is a character that constantly makes us smile. Meara sets the man off all kinds of kilter and it was hilarious to see. She makes him nervous, craves her closeness he feels things for her he should not but, for a man who was supposed to not be able to show or feel emotions was changing in small ways right before our eyes.

This paranormal romance was packed with suspense and drama from beginning to end. Loved the friendships and closeness of Meara's family with their witty banter with one another and the fierce love they had for each other and their partners or wives. Loved that this band of ancient vampires had become allies with other species of the paranormal race as they all had one common goal to defeat their enemies.

Overall this was a great conclusion to this ongoing series. The story drew you right in from the very beginning and kept you engaged to the bitter end. This series was fantastic with its memorable characters. You will love the surprises that pop up throughout it. Perhaps we will see a spin-off from this series and we are looking forward to it.

Redemption’s Edge by Alyssa Day
Vampire Motorcycle Club series #3. Conclusion. Paranormal romance. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Book #1: Bane’s Choice
Book #2: Hunter’s Hope

Meara Delacourt is a powerful 300 year old vampire, underestimated by her enemies. She keeps careful control of her emotions because she knows losing it can mean the death of thousands.
Edge was a scientist with an orderly mind before he was turned into a vampire. He still doesn’t let emotion in when science can answer the question. He was used in a cruel experiment by the Chamber, the result of which means his head will literally explode if he lets love into his life. Good thing he can control his feelings.
Their club of friends are close and all have agreed they must eliminate the threat they all face in the Chamber. It’s a sinister organization of ancient warlocks that have set their plans on control of Savannah. Dane, Edge and Meara help to lead the fight against their potential elimination.

Large cast as all characters from prior books are here to fight the Chamber.
Edge has a dark and heartbroken history so won’t let Meara into his heart. He can’t do it again though his lust for her is unending.
There is a lot of angst in the story, but there is also lots of love. The prior couples provide a good example of what love can do for them but Edge and Meara are stubborn. There is a lot of steamy chemistry between these two as they can’t keep their minds off the other.
The whole goal is an ultimate battle to get rid of the Chamber and Neville, so even during the volleyball games and other entertainment, there is a darkness over the story.
There is a lot of world building both in the beginning of the story and throughout the story.
I enjoyed the tension, the romance, and the fight for good, as well as having all the full cast of the series involved, but I think the story was a lot longer than it needed to be.
A great wrap up conclusion.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley.

I was so excited to get this epic conclusion to the Vampire Motorcycle club trilogy. It is a story about love, loss, and the ability to move past it all to build a future for yourself where you're thriving and not just surviving. The world-building was fantastic and had a list of interesting characters that includes vampires, part angel, werewolves, demons, and a woman that can see ghosts. I have see glimpses of these two characters throughout the series and learning about their backstories and history was interesting. Meara and Edge had a relationship that was filled with angst and spicy tension! Their challenges were steep and the plot was action-packed and moved quickly, The story kept my attention and had me wanting to know what happened next. The book had a good mix of humor and gutwrenching moments for these characters.

Meara is a 300 year-old vampire who was turned by her father. Edge is a vampire scientist who can't feel emotion, but he feels an undeniable attraction and pull to Meara. The tension is palpable and the banter was great! The two have to fight their way into solving what is going on between them while figuring out what The Chamber is up to. The found family element is always my favorite part of Alyssa Day's writing. She really knows how to make the characters seem cohesive and have a love for each other that can't be broken. I loved this series. I am sad that it is over. I would love to see some side characters their own stories!

I’m sad to see the series coming to an end, but I’m glad the questions of the previous two books were answered in this book. Edge has been searching for the people who tortured him and his brother. He has had feelings for Meara ever since he was turned, but they can’t be together. Meara almost burned down the whole city a long time ago when she lost her temper. So her being with Edge, and if she were to lose him, she doesn’t know what kind of destruction she could cause. They fight their feelings for each other, will they give in?
