Knight's Absolution (Knights of Hell #5‪)‬

This book didn’t disappoint! Sherilee did an amazing job bringing to life the story of Gunner and his mate Luna. The readers finally get to understand better the darkness and struggles that Gunner has been enduring. Luna as a heroine will blow you away! Loved seeing the other Knights’ stories intertwined within this book. Cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

4.25 stars-- KNIGHT’S ABSOLUTION is the fifth instalment in Sherilee Gray’s contemporary, adult KNIGHTS OF HELL erotic, dystopian, paranormal/fantasy romance series focusing on a group of demon hunters known as the Knights of Hell, warriors whose birth was ordained by the mating of angels and demons. This is dhampir Luna, and half-demon/half-angel Knight of Hell Gunner. KNIGHT’S ABSOLUTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: KNIGHT’S ABSOLUTION contains scenes of graphic violence that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.

Told from third person perspective KNIGHT’S ABSOLUTION follows the building relationship between dhampir Luna, and half-demon/half-angel Knight of Hell Gunner. Since the day Chaos’s mate Grace was rescued and returned by a mysterious stranger Gunner couldn’t stop thinking about the female he believed to be his mate but something or someone was holding her hostage in Hell, and it was Luna’s pain and suffering that Gunner felt every time he went to sleep. Rescuing Luna meant Gunner’s chance at his own happily ever after but Luna’s life had been filled with torture and pain, and Gunner would have to be patient with his new found mate. What ensues is the building relationship between Gunner and Luna, and the potential fall-out as Luna’s captor comes back for his prize.

Luna has never known anything but torture and pain since the day ‘Sir’ killed her mother, and took her and her brother Ronan hostage for their power, and his control. Believing dhampir’s were emotionless and without a heart, Luna had no idea t the overwhelming feelings and emotions that were about to take over her life with the man with whom she would fall in love. Gunner is a Knight of Hell, and along with his brothers, their nightly battle with Hell’s demons now meant protecting the woman that called to his heart but Gunner would quickly learn that Luna is not without some power of her own, and our heroine is determined to take down the man that destroyed her life.

Meanwhile, we learn a little more about the fate of former Knight of Hell Tobias, and his mate Scarlett, as well as Rocco’s missing mate Kyler. ‘Sir’ has been busy amassing a collection of prisoners, prisoners he tortures for his power and pleasure.

The relationship between Gunner and Luna is one of fated mates. Luna is naïve to many things yet well versed in others but her relationship with Gunner brings on new feelings and emotions, of which she struggles to understand and accept. Gunner knows immediately that Luna is his mate but our heroine needs time to heal and accept that she is now protected by the Knights, as one of their own. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic, language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Chaya and Brent (Demons Temptation #3), Chaya’s sister Mia Westbrook and her demon hunting mate Zenon (Knight’s Salvation #2), Eve and Lazarus (Knight’s Redemption #1), Chaos and Grace (Knight’s Dominion #4), Kryos, Rocco, Silas, Tobias, James, as well as Lucifer, Diemos , Luna’s brother Ronan, and their captor ‘Sir’.

KNIGHT’S ABSOLUTION is a fast paced, dark and dramatic story line. The premise is emotional and powerful; the characters are impassioned and determined; the romance is fated and sensual. Another wonderful addition to Gray’s KNIGHTS OF HELL.
