ABSOLUTION, by Jennifer Laurens, is the third and final book of the Heavenly Series. I am such a fan of this series and author. I was both pleased and sad to see the end of this series. I raced through this novel to get to the final conclusion and I have to say it was definitely bittersweet.

The change in Zoe from Heavenly through Absolution is magnanimous. In this book, she is still fighting against Albert who is stepping up his game in the pursuit of her soul. He uses her family to try and break her will. She is definitely stronger and I was rooting for her to not give up hope.

Zoe's relationship with Weston is more strained than ever since she told him about Matthias and also the jealous Britt is even more murderous than before. I really love this couple together. I would have never expected them to be together because of what happened in Heavenly but I am very happy with the outcome.

Laurens wrapped up this series perfectly. It had a bittersweet ending but I couldn't imagine it happening any other way. Fans of this series will definitely love this book. ( )

This was the final chapter of the Jennifer Laurens series Heavenly. I was very excited to finish out the series and see wehre the author was going to take the characters on the final part of their journey. I enjoyed this book but not quite as mush as Penitence. I found that she tied up the loose ends nicely and gave closure for all the characters but I felt it lacked a little of the suprise that the other two books had. It was nice to read and complete but a little expected is all. I would recommend this series to fans of the fallen angels books. It was well written, the characters were well rounded and able to accept easily in most cases. A great entertaining series that deserves more attention than it has gotten. Definitely worth the read.

I really love the Heavenly series by Jennifer, and this book did not let me down. Absolution had everything that I hoped for and more! It is such a story of hope, repentance, forgiveness, and true love. It not only demonstrates a familial love, working through troubles and coming out stronger, but what love in friendship should be like, as well as romantic love.
Zoe has really matured and blossomed and she deals with everything that bombards her in such a loving and awesome way. I really have grown to love her character and admire her actions. She is not perfect, but she is perfectly written. I love her bravery, and her mouth even though it gets her in trouble occasionally.
Abria is ever present and she continues to teach love, acceptance and tolerance. I adore her character, her innocence, and her complete trust. I also appreciate how she is given a bit of hope in this book while still being realistic to the disease.
Weston is ever handsome and gentlemanly in this book... while he is himself. There are a few scenes that I was not happy with, but I understand why they are written and his actions... if that makes any sense. I really appreciate his love and loyalty to Zoe, even with her conflicted heart.
Matthias is as wonderful as ever in Absolution as well. His character has always been so pure, loving, and he has this non-judgmental way of telling it like it as and how it should be. His faith and steadfast convictions in those he loves really just makes me want to cry, and yearn for that to be directed my way.
Laurens really has written a masterpiece, and I would recommend getting your hands on this book and the series as quickly as you can! ( )
