Review:
Redeeming 6 is the fourth book in Chloe Walsh’ Boys of Tommen Series. There are a lot of rough topics discussed and suggested meaning the author recommends this for an audience of 18+ despite it being marketed as YA. I have put Upper YA for that reason. Please read the authors warnings before going into this book / series. And as always, spoilers for Redeeming 6 would be hidden, but there may be spoilers for the previous books in the series.
I am simply not okay after reading Redeeming 6. I already knew I loved Joey and Aoife (though it doesn’t matter how many times I need to write her name I always write Efa… Thanks Sean!) but Redeeming 6 absolutely ruined me to the point where at least Joey was propelled into top spot for my Boys of Tommen MC rankings.
I was scared about Redeeming 6 because Saving 6 takes us up to Binding 13’s start, which meant this one was going to follow both Binding & Keeping 13… I was both prepared and absolutely not prepared because I truly thought it couldn’t be as bad reading about these events the second time round. I was wrong. I stayed up till 3am finishing this, sobbing as quietly as I could while my partner slept ON A WORK NIGHT. It was the wrong decision but I don’t regret it at all.
Keeping 13 got a 4.5 Star rating whereas no doubt about it Redeeming 6 gets the 5. I can explain why pretty easily and it comes down to the aftermath. Everything that happened after THE event of Keeping 13 (if you know you know). In Keeping 13 it felt long and like it was being drawn out, but in Redeeming 6 the emotions kept hitting me, I remained as invested and as hooked by the story as I had been throughout the whole read. It was just the better finished book.
I don’t really know how to talk about this book without spoilers, so I’m going to wrap it up pretty quickly. But I just need to speak about how rough things are in this book because I know I included a warning and I know the author included one… but I have to really emphasise that there is a lot of awful topics in Redeeming 6. Joey is having a really hard time with his issues and Aoife is on an uphil battle whilst wearing weights the entire book… It is really difficult to read about these two going through this… So you absolutely need to be aware of that going in.
I feel like I could stop reading Boys of Tommen now, finally take a break from the heartache and trauma because Redeeming 6 feels like it ends the Lynch’s story in a wrapped up way. Am I going to stop though? Hell no. Because Lizzie in Redeeming 6?! No, I quite simply have to get to her book, I am not okay. And Gibsie? He continues to be the best of them all, I fear. And because of this, I am terrified for his story with Claire… But I am absolutely going to read on, you can count on that.
“Finders keepers, Joey love. You’re mine now.”
