Wrath

De: K'wan

Narrado por: B. Lipton Bennett

In the history of New York City's underworld, there have been a host of criminal figures whose exploits have gone on to inspire. Their stories are told on street corners and in back alleys. One of them is Jonas Rafferty, known among friends and enemies alike as Wrath.

Jonas, the only boy in a family of four children, came into the world under less than favorable conditions, and he has always been a fighter. From the neighborhood bullies to the stepfather who uses him and his siblings as punching bags, his life has always been one battle after another. At night, he would lay awake and dream of rising above his circumstances, and when he crosses paths with rogue homicide detective Louis "Lou" Ceavers, he's offered a bargain that will change the course of his life.

Detective Ceavers becomes like a guardian angel and surrogate father to Jonas, teaching him the game and guiding him in his quest for power. In a short time, Jonas goes from errand boy and street muscle to one of the most dangerous young men in the city, dubbed Wrath because of his violent exploits.

His dreams are finally becoming reality, and Wrath feels like he's on his way to having everything he's ever dreamed of, until Alex, his childhood crush, comes home on break from college and gives him a glimpse of the one thing he's always craved more than money and power: love. Wrath begins to question himself and his decisions as he's drawn further away from the world he's created and deeper into the stable life he believes he could have with Alex. When Alex becomes pregnant, Wrath decides that being there for her and his unborn child are more important to him than power or money, but when he seeks to end his arrangement with the detective, he's taught the final lesson in his education: no bargain comes without a price.

the book was great butttttt the ending sucked...

I think the book is self was great I think the ending really sucked but I'm a big fan of Kwan and I love all his stories and his books I couldn't put the book down so I found it very intriguing I just did not like the ending I felt like the ending was a cop out there had better be a part 2

I can’t believe the ending of this book

I would like the book and I’m not really sure of the story it was not as great as him the other books written by Quan but one thing about this book is that I love the way the ending was this young man made a deal with the devil and he didn’t even know it I think this book could have had a better plot oh it was not one a Quan’s best work but I can deal with it I mean you can read it if you want but I don’t recommend this book to anyone at this time

Ummmm Wow........

Ummmm wow........ I rarely leave written reviews but after listening to this book I felt compelled to share my thoughts. I must say I really enjoyed the storyline, I could definitely feel each character’s struggle. Although their brother did his street hustling, their lifestyle wasn’t extra and over the top like most stories where labels are constantly being dropped and their lives are so outrageously better than the wealthiest people in the world. The story flowed very well and the narrator did an amazing job in my opinion telling the story nor did he try to sound as he was struggling to find the perfect female voices. Last but certainly not least, I was absolutely floored by the ending. I was not expecting that AT ALL (small spoiler) when Wrath shot the man and he got up and told him to pronounce his name, I was like noooo what in the fiery pit of hell is going on here. I would definitely recommend this book, ignore the negative reviews, if you know how K’wans mind works then you’re already familiar with his writing style and the grim way he gets down sometimes!

Wow!

Lots of twists , turns and moments of awe! Love the sibling bond and loyalty. I didn't see a lot of the events coming. A really good read.

Good Read.

I rather enjoyed the story. I thought it was well written. I didn't care for the end when the detective came back to life,like Lucifer really.

interesting

the ending surprised me. The Lucifer name definitely caught me off guard. Very clever. Story was good.

Interesting

I enjoyed the story. The end was surprising . Jonas was a beast. It was spellbinding.

Captivating

I loved the story. It was gripping, and thought provoking. K'Wan always delivers.. Wrath' s inner struggles, and the way he and his family evolved were relateable.
I would recommend this book to

Unexpected Twist

The twist in this book was so unexpected. Once it was revealed I thought it was so clever the way the story twisted and turned.

Can’t stop listening

The ending is everything. I love a good cliff hanger, and I got one with this one right here.
