Freedom Rings (The Circle Book 3) by Brenda Hardwick – Review by Santana Hicks

Freedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book delves into racism but with a touch of magic. Shawn, the owner of DNAgen Biolabs, hates people of color. So much so that he made a drug to prevent future colored babies from being born. Being half black himself he is full of self hatred. That tied with ambition, selfishness and power, he quickly goes off the deep end.

Madeline ends up pregnant with Shawn’s baby and it puts a wedge in everything. Shawn tries to convince Madeline to take the drug while also still helping him to kill the circle.

The circle is a group of shops led by a magical group of people. Each shop has their own particular power. Soraya is in charge of managing the people. After the death of previous shop owners orchestrated by Shawn, Soraya is on clean up duty. She has to find apprentices for the empty shops while trying to protect the living.

Can they band together and stop Shawn before more die? What about the drug? Read to find out! You will not be disappointed.

Although the book is technically the 3rd book in the series, it was fine to read without reading the previous books. The book went into enough details to explain what is going on and who is who.
