Wrath

A Novel

By: Victoria Christopher Murray

Narrated by: Adenrele Ojo, Landon Woodson

The award-winning author of The Personal Librarian delivers an unforgettable story of a marriage caught at the crossroads of passion and rage—the inspiration for four Lifetime original movies.

Chastity Jeffries and Xavier King come from very different backgrounds, though they have one thing in common: they’re both living with family secrets. Chastity is the only child of a prominent pastor and has been raised with privilege, but her father’s testimony as a philanderer and her mom’s role as dutiful wife have tainted her view of love. Xavier never knew his father, and his mother abandoned him. His grandmother raised him in a household built on cruelty and violence instead of love and acceptance, instilling in him a fear of abandonment and an enormous sense of insecurity.

Sparks fly when Chastity and Xavier meet, and their whirlwind romance feels almost too good to be true. Chastity is swept off her feet, but before long, cracks begin to show in Xavier’s perfect façade, and it is only a matter of time before that façade comes crumbling down. When Xavier’s wrath erupts at a level Chastity has never seen, who will it destroy forever?

I enjoyed it

This is my first read by this author and it was a good one. The only thing that irked me is that Chastity is supposed to be this top notch divorce attorney, and you would have me believe that she wasn't aware of exactly what would be needed to have someone legally married? C'mon son! (In my Ed Lover voice) LOL. Otherwise, I thought it was a good read and I enjoyed hearing both sides of the coin done believably so from each perspective.

Understanding Wrath

This book gave me an insight on what exactly wrath is. I was surprised it is something that grows from anger being held within.

Rage

This is a great book to listen to especially if you appreciate art and writing. The author did an excellent job of explaining and hearing the thoughts of each character. I wanted to occur in the epilogue or for Xavier. It just seems that his ending could’ve been different.

Is there a wrath 2? Good listen, would like to find out what happened to Xavier

really depressing

This is not a book if you're looking for a happily ever after. It's one of the most depressing endings I can imagine happening. But it held my attention. And it was written well.
