"It was a tragedy about a family that was able to remain relatively unscathed or struggling with violence and corruption for generations. The Stranger was the only one among them in the shadows, and he was the one who was able to bring them down."

"Redemption" is a Southern Gothic Neo-Western story that follows two families in rural America in the 1980s and 1990s, the Milsaps and the Campbells Both families have a dark history, but the Milsaps are from the North and have remained relatively unscathed. The Campbells, however, are from the South and have been struggling with violence and corruption for generations. And then there was an unnamed ruthless killer striking the area. (The story was influenced and inspired by the elements and events of "No Country for Old Men" and "The Devil All the Time")

Four misfits team up to expose a dirty politician. What could possibly go wrong? + + + In Sam's world, there are only two sides: the North and the South. With Northerners having more opportunities, the South is left to suffer the aftereffects of something that occurred two decades ago, something they were blamed for, but not necessarily proven guilty of. Nineteen-year-old Samuel Williams, a Southerner, has been out of prison for a year, and his only goal now is to make a life for himself. He wants nothing to do with his past. That is, until he's dragged back into it. Literally. In order to pay off his gut-wrenching debt to a gang leader, Sam is forced to make a difficult decision: return to his life as a thief or risk getting killed by his loaner. With nowhere else to turn, he's left to do what he swore he'd never do again, as he plans a heist on the very man who set him up the night of his arrest: Andrew Leavens. Sam knows he can't pull off the heist alone. Fortunately for him, there are those willing to help, including an ex-assassin, a bounty hunter, and a skilled hacker. But as light sheds on some startling secrets of Andrew's, Sam realizes he might have to do more than just pocket the politician's wealth. NOTE: This book is listed as mystery/thriller because "dystopian" wasn't listed in the genre options. Although this book does have mystery and suspense in it, I think it's more dystopian than anything else. Also, I didn't mark "mature content," but there is mild language (very mild) and some violence. I didn't think it was graphic enough to mark "mature content" though.

BEFORE YOU READ- DISCLAIMER! The main character is blunt, hates life and is very vulgar and hateful towards everyone and everything . However there is a reason for this. She is strong-headed and short-tempered, ill-mannered and disrespectful (though some may say in a loveable way). If this isn't for you, then I wouldn't suggest reading this book. It's about character development and personal growth. - Kody Lawrence is not normal. On the contrary, she's everything but. When the hot-headed, short-tempered, rude new girl arrives in the small town of Raven Hollow, Maine, most people are put off by her unexpected and -considering her horrible attitude and pessimism- unwanted appearance. However, despite her constant locked jaw, clenched fists and cold glare, Lilah Johansson, Kody's appointed 'buddy', can't help but want to be her new friend in spite of their not-so-impressive first impression. But Lilah is not to be sold separately, and with the friendly redhead comes four boys with charming smiles and welcoming arms that hide their own secrets and covered-up lies. Amongst the group of five, Dakota Black is the one who stands out with his calculating eyes and kind heart, and while Kody has no intention to stick around longer than a few months, he might just be the one to change that. With a duffel bag of money, a box-filled with different identities, a pocket full of problems and a closet stacked to the brim with secrets, Kody's quiet and peaceful Senior year takes a couple of unexpected turns. The only question is: Are they for better or for worse? ___ (Small disclaimer: The first few chapters aren't the greatest, but I took some time off from writing this book and came back to it when I'd gotten a bit better with writing, so if you can get past the rocky start, hopefully you won't regret it). ___ Re-published: 7.4.18 (7th of April) Finished: 9.3.20 (9th of March) Currently editing and correcting mistakes / plot holes. (Editing chapters at random)
