*** This novel contains a detailed synopsis of book 1 in the series and can be read as a standalone. Anissa Toma fled war-torn Syria after narrowly escaping the massacre of her Christian family by Islamists. Fortunate enough to rebuild her shattered life in New York City, the young refugee gained admission to an elite college, where she excelled. Her beauty, brains, and purity soon captured the interest of two powerful men: Michael, an activist working to establish Antioch, the first Mideast Christian state, and Julien, her professor and one of the city's wealthiest bachelors. As Anissa's saga continues, the refugee-turned-rising-star must navigate between Michael and Julien, while trying to help her surviving relatives and other vulnerable Christians in Syria. As she gets closer to both men in a complex and evolving love triangle, can she unlock Julien's traumatic childhood to open up his heart? Or will Julien find greater solace from his nightmares and other demons in the sessions with his intriguing therapist? What will Michael do for Antioch and for Anissa, and what will Julien's role be? How far will each person go to help Anissa's remaining family and other persecuted Christians at risk in Syria? Find out in this stunning sequel to "The Syrian Virgin." WARNING: This book is about a young woman's difficult journey: her escape from Syria's Civil War, her transition to a new a country, and the relationships that she forms along the way, including her romantic interests in two very different men. The story is set against the backdrop of the Syrian Civil War and makes reference to violent acts, sometimes in detail. There is some occasional profanity and a few scenes that depict sexual intimacy. Accordingly, the recommended minimum age for readers is 16. The novel might be compared to books like "The Diary of Anne Frank" or "The Kite Runner."… (mais)
24766606 I was asked by the author Zack Love to Beta Read this book in exchange for an honest opinion. This is Mismousey’s very honest opinion of his MASTER PIECE OF CREATIVITY!! OMG- I DO MEAN THAT THIS IS A PURE WORK GENIUS AND VERY DETAILED AND SO WELL DESCRIBED . Anissa’s Redemption takes up right where his first book leaves off. However, it can be read as a stand alone.
Mr Love has such a creative way with his writing skills – he can take something that would come out of todays head lines of the paper and turn it into something extraordinary !! Anissa Redemption The story in this book is truly a remarkable one. One that is filled with tragedy and love for her family. What Anissa went through to get from Syrian to America. What she witness that last night her parents were alive – an what the terrorists put her through that night.
We have our same 3 loveable characters that we had in our first book- Julien, Anissa and Michael. In Anissa Redemption we add a few more favorite characters to our group. Maria ( who is Anissa’s big sister) then we have Juliens shrink, and several little minor characters.
Anissa is torn between Julien and Michael although she is seeing Julien. Michael it seems had taken back up with his former girlfriend. Now as far as Anissa was concerned she considered Julien her professor and did not want to over step the boundaries.
As for Julian he has a horrible secrete that he is hiding and has been since he was a young child. He hasn’t even told his shrink its that bad. As for Anissa she also is hiding something. A secrete that only her shrink knows. will she be able to finally tell someone?? And what about Julian- will be able to come clean with his??
What happens to Maria and the rest of the family overseas?? Are they able to reach safety?? This story has so many twist and turns in it. You never know which way to turn. It keeps you on the edge of your seat reading it. Or rather it keeps you on the edge of the page reading it!. I would not doubt that Mr Love’s book Anissa’s Redemption makes the top 10 Amazon Best Seller List this Year. That is how amaZing- terrific- fantastic- eagerly awaited this book is !!!!
I recommend this book for readers over the age of 16 due to the graphic scenes in it. Mis mousey also gives it a rating of rating of 50 out 5 stars!! NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?? RUN AND GET YOUR COPY TODAY!! THIS IS THE NEXT BEST SELLER BY ZACK LOVE AND YOU HAVE TO READ IT !! ( )
Just when I thought that Zack Love had written his most impressive novel to date when he wrote "The Syrian Virgin", he pleasantly surprises me with “Anissa’s Redemption!” I had such a book hangover afterward that it took awhile for me to come out of my literary fog.
Many times when a book I really love ends with a cliffhanger, I find myself hanging onto those last few words and images in hopes that the sequel will be written soon after so that I won’t forget all of its excitement and the feelings the writer has evoked. I worry, too, that with all the anticipation and expectation leading up to the sequel, in the end, it will fall short and leave me disappointed with the series.
This was DEFINITELY not the case with Zack Love’s sequel to “The Syrian Virgin” called “Anissa’s Redemption.” In fact, it was so much better than I ever imagined it would be and it did NOT disappoint!
In “Anissa’s Redemption”, I loved how (seemingly) effortless it was for Zack to pick up where he ended in “The Syrian Virgin” and how from the very beginning, the plot and all his characters continued to evolve and develop throughout. Zack’s intelligent writing and extensive research also continued to paint an accurate and compelling portrayal of the religious struggles caused by Syrian Civil War. But what I loved most about “Anissa’s Redemption was his brilliant ability to peel away more and more of Anissa, Michael and Julien’s "layers" to reveal their true selves and their darkest secrets before the readers’ eyes and not only make them appear more human, but more endearing as well.
In writing "Anissa’s Redemption", Zack created an exciting and quite an emotional roller coaster ride and with every twist and turn of events, he takes his readers through many surprising developments and defining moments!
Definitely a must read! ( )
