A review by mxlilly
Rage and Ruin by Jennifer L. Armentrout

adventurous tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I just love when book 2 outshines book 1.  I went into this knowing I'd likely enjoy it but without high hopes and boy was I surprised.

The depth kicked in, the action amped up, the romance hopped up into overdrive.  It was tense, it was emotional, it had me hooked.

That ending!  I mean, we all kinda figured the harbinger would be exactly what it was right?  But the delivery was impeccable!!!  It alone was worth 5 stars, but I hate the both in love thinking the other person isn't trope so it got knocked down to 4.5.

I'd write more but book 3 is screaming to be red so now I'm diving into it hoping it'll live up to book 2.
