The story of this book sounds interesting and I feel that a lot of readers could relate or learn a thing or two from the characters. I’d love to see what happens to the two boys and what life has in store for them.
Thank you for this review.

The two young men were music lovers and were biased towards the Blues genre.
Sadly, the music industry can be a hotbed for drug pushers and drug users. I'm interested to know what kind of redemption Beni found and if his love of music played a part in finding it. Thanks for your review!

This book, which warns us about the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction, takes us through the lives and struggles of two men, Beni and Marquise.

I'm glad I read this review! I absolutely love when artists incorporate song lyrics into their stories, it makes it feel more personal. Also, addiction is such an important issue, so I'm really glad there are books like these out there to help destigmatize the topic

I like that a hundred books on the subject have redemption and addiction. I am intrigued by the detail of Beni’s tattoos featuring Jesus and Grim Reaper.

This is a fictional story that revolves around a non-fictional event witnessed by the writer. The book focuses on the theme of addiction and redemption. It is an intrigue and realistic novel with an attractive cover.
The review is awesome.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

I am interested in reading this book. I love how the author incorporated music into the book. I also want to know the mystery behind Beni’s two opposing tattoos on his back. Thank you for the review

Addiction is not a topic that can not be constantly talked about. The post-covid situation isn't helpful as more people are resorting to one form of addiction or the other to get by. Thankfully, this book will join a plethora of other books out there to help addicts gain redemption.

Fighting addiction is not easy, it's requires lots of time and process but I love the positivity in the title of the book: Redemption Bound. Your review has piqued my interest, I might read this book.

Latest Review: The Two Olive Martini by Lance T Weil

Post by Precious_Nzeakor »

The increasing struggles of drug abuse and alcohol misuse continue to plague the future of promising individuals and families. The importance of highlighting these struggles to the general reading public cannot be over-emphasized because this growing awareness will help curb these menaces. Redemption Bound seems to be one of such awareness programs. It is also a plus that the storyline is based on real-life happens and so it doesn't take away the originality or authenticity from the discussion at hand. Great review and an even greater book.

Drugs and alcohol have ruined countless lives and homes. We should be wary about Patricias out to ensnare us, too. I hope many will find redemption with this story.

I reviewed a book recently on addiction and it was an eye opener. I believe prevention and awareness will go a long way in preventing this terrible disease.

Many thanks for the interesting review.

I don't typically read books about addiction, so I'll be skipping this one. However, congratulations to the author on his achievement and for being awarded BOTD.
