***FULL SPOILER FREE REVIEW*** 
 Holy. Fucking. Hell. 
 I think that #AllHailtheProphet should be changed to #AllHailTillieCole. 
 Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant!! 
 Deep Redemption encapsulates everything that I've come to adore about Tillie Cole's books. She pulls out all the FEELS, especially the violent ones, and doesn't pull any punches with her writing and goes unapologetically for the balls. No sugar coating happens here and if that's what you are looking for in a book then you'll need to move on, though you'll be missing out on some great storytelling. 
 While I was surprised that Rider/Cain was to be our "Hero" in the fourth book, I wasn't as violently opposed to it as some because there was always that something about him that told me there was so much more to him than he let out, no matter which name he used. Instead I found it to be an interesting choice, but as I've come to learn Ms. Cole always has a plan and Rider/Cain's road to redemption was one that brought out all the feels from empathy to tears to wanting to stab something. But love him or hate him, I personally fall in the middle since he always intrigued me, your heart will hurt as he is ripped apart at the seams and then begins to put himself back together as he finds a clarity that can only be found after a journey through hell. 
 Now there is his "lady". Speculation over who this woman will be has been running rampant and all I can say is that she is fucking AMAZING! As with the other women in this series who found the strength to rise like phoenixes from the ashes to fight so they could live and love, so does she. Her strength and compassion are blinding and while I love all the woman we've come to know so far, she is my favorite. 
 So much happens in this book it's crazy and yet it all makes perfect sense in how it all plays out. Secrets are exposed and relationships are strengthened as well as broken. Which is why I do have to insist that you not read Deep Redemption unless you've read all the books in the series so far. There are so many things that have happened so far that come to a head in this one that the impact on your emotions won't be what it should be. So, no, this is not a standalone in anyway. But I loved catching up with all of the Hangmen and the women (who all kick ass), and Viking just killed me. The way things were left at the end were as it should be considering all that has happened and the glimpses of what the future holds and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book to see what the future holds for the Hangmen and the ones they call their own!
