After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Moriah Venable

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin #2)After Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Wrath is the second novel in the Deadliest Sin series by Gwyn McNamee. This is my eleventh novel by this author.

Continuing where Wrath left off, it’s been a few years but are things really quiet?

Here we are introduced to the character Aleksander who wants revenge. I know he is the bad guy but I really did love reading from perspective even possibly finding a love of his own.

I don’t want to give too much away but I highly recommend reading this.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“They just woke a sleeping dragon. The years I’ve spent in the background have come to an end. It’s time to take my rightful place at the head of the family.”

This man, Aleksander, is just plain evil. Until he meets Brynn. But even her love is not enough for the dragon to change. She does bring out his caring side but this story is entitled After Wrath for a reason. There are no rainbows and unicorns in this story. Aleksander is on a mission. His mission is to avenge Saban’s death. Family comes first, no matter which Mafia family you are a part of.

I have said in my past review for McNamee, unforeseen twists. Twists that make you scream at your reading device. Twists that make you cry with sadness and with hope. McNamee is a master twist writer.

This book, well really this series, is not for the faint of heart. It is for readers that like dark, twisted, unimaginable stories. Way to go, McNamee! Looking forward to the ending?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by explaining a little about Alek. He’s dark, dangerous, violent, bloody, destructive, and…I love it! The man has serious issues and takes way too much enjoyment out of what he does and it seriously turns me on! Crazy right??? Gwyn has the uncanny ability to make you completely fall in love with her characters, no matter how gritty, dirty, and bad they are! She has quickly become one of my absolute favorite authors. Even in a quick read such as this one, the story line is so detailed, raw, and emotional that you see and feel every word she writes.

This is book two in the Deadliest Sin series and they must be read in order. Book one left me in shock. Book two, After Wrath, picks up with Aleksander seeking revenge on those who he feels have wronged him. Seeking to unleash the wrath of the Dragon and no one will stand in the way of him reaching his goal. The ending was completely unexpected and left me full of anticipation with how this can all possibly play out! The only thing I know for certain is that it will most certainly not disappoint! This series is gritty, violent, powerfully emotional, thought provoking, and sexy! I can’t wait to delve into Book 3 and see what journey the author takes us on! As is everything else I have read by this author, this is a 5-star must read series!

“It’s not about wanting.
It’s about needing.
Need for revenge.
Need for violence.
Need to let wrath consume me.”

After Wrath is the second riveting book in The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. This is part of a series and is not meant to be read as a standalone. You won’t get the full impact of the story, or series, if you don’t read the books in sequence.
Each book is told from a different perspective, which really helps build the tension, suspense, and impact. I love the way Ms. McNamee wove this story/series- she left me guessing as to which direction she was taking the story, and series- and I was anxiously reading along to discover what would happen. There were quite a few shocks, twists, and surprising developments- which is quite a feat considering how short each book is.
As I said in my review for the first book- this might be a short story, but it packs quite a punch. It is dark, erotic, raw, bloody, brutal, and action-packed. I loved the complexity of the storyline, and of the characters. Being able to weave such clever twists, and create such complexities in such a short space is really a testament to Gwyn McNamee’s writing prowess!!
This is a hunt for revenge. Our character is consumed by his rage, his wrath is palpable! We are pulled into his vortex of rage and death-dealing mission, where we get a front row seat to all the action; from Pittsburgh, to Cuba, and Argentina- he leaves a bloody trail of violence in his wake. But will his obsession be his undoing?
The epilogue of this book made me sit up and take notice- the first time I read this book I was beside myself- I could not wait for the next book to be released to find out if what I thought was actually what was going on- because you never really know with Gwyn McNamee behind the wheel. And even though I have read this book several times now, the epilogue still makes my heart pound!
I’ve said this before, and I will say it again- Gwyn McNamee is one of my favourite authors, who can take any genre and deliver something that will completely enthrall me, every time. She’s such a brilliant storyteller, capturing my attention within moments of starting any of her stories and then taking me on a ride that will stay with me long after I’ve closed the book. This story is no different- and I especially loved how she worked and moulded the darkness of the theme. I think she wears darkness beautifully and this book/series is definitely one of my favourites of hers- ever!
One of the best things about this series, for anyone who hasn’t read it yet, is that all the books are available to read right now- so no waiting between books!!! #WINNING
Bravo!

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is the second book in the series, and you need to start with book one, Wrath, before reading this one.These books are short but pack a punch and I read them in one sitting. The story is written from the male perspective and I loved being inside his head. It is one dark read but it is so good and Gwyn does it well.

Alek has vowed vengeance against his brother and those that had a hand in it. He knows that everything that happened was because no man can resist a woman and he knows he will never ever let that happen to him. Revenge has never felt so good and the anticipation of the torture to come lights a fire in the mans psyche.

I look forward to seeing what else Gwyn has in store for us, no matter what it is I know I will enjoy it.

The story continues from Wrath, with each and every character dazzling. The complexity adds this delicious edge that not many authors can pull off. Always impressive. Always left wondering what could be better than this. 5 stars.

After Wrath is the second book in the Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. I did really think Ms. McNamee could get any darker than the first book in this series, but I was wrong. The second book is dark. You need to read this series in order to get the full storyline. This book had me enthralled from beginning to end and I couldn’t put it down until the last page. I don’t want to give anything of the plot line away so all I’m going to say about this book is Beware of the Dragon! If you love dark and dirty this is the series for you.

Gwyn McNamee never ceases to amaze me, no matter what the genre of her stories I can’t help but be completely consumed with her writing! After Wrath is the second book in Gwyn’s Deadliest Sin series, a series I couldn’t recommend enough. The stories are action-packed, dark, shocking and steamy. Even though the length of the stories are short the storyline is so well rounded and full of detail.

I can’t wait to continue this series and I would absolutely recommend this series and author to anyone!

After Wrath ( The Deadliest Sin Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee. This is the 2nd book in the Deadliest Sins books and you really should read Book 1 before this one. Its a super short read but let me tell you when you start you won’t want to put it down til you are done. Its the story of Aleksander aka Alek told from his perspective which is a little different from what I’m used to but I enjoyed it. Alek is trying to get revenge for his brother Saban and reclaim his territory. There is also the story line with Brynn aka Kitty. Alek is so dark, intense and brooding but around Brynn he’s soft and can actually be sweet even if he doesn’t want to like her. The chemistry between them is intense and burns thru the pages! This book is a must read and you will get sucked in just like I did!

After Wrath is the second book in the The Deadliest Sin series by Gwyn McNamee If you did not read Wrath you should read that book first to get all the back information on After Wrath. Now I will take a deep breath and say that I LOVED Wrath, BUT I LOVE After Wrath a little more. Gwyn McNamee does an amazing job of linking the two stories together. There is so much raw emotion that my emotions just were all over the place. I will warn you that you may not stop reading this book until the end. This is a dark story and with Wrath being one of the seven deadly sins I expected this story would be dark. Here is my favorite quote found in the summary:
“The Dragon will rise.
Death will reign.
Because wrath is the deadliest sin.”

So after what happened at the end of Wrath (book 1) I wasn’t so sure I was going to like the second book in the series but I absolutely loved it! Again it was dark, gritty and a little gruesome (although not quite as much as book 1 as things are left more to the readers imagination) and I loved the characters. It took me a little while, well a few pages anyway, to get to like Alek I wasn’t quiet expecting him to win me over like he did but the way he was with Kitty (Brynn) was really sweet, he may have not wanted to like her but it was obvious in the things that he did that she meant something to him. The chemistry between them was hot and there were certainly some steamy moments also!
I am extremely excited for the next book in the series ‘Surviving Wrath’! I cannot wait to see what happens next!!

5 ++++++++ Stars

************************************************

The first words out of my mouth when I finished this are hidden up in that line of stars for many reasons…the first being Amazon doesn’t like swearing in their reviews and the 2nd is three of the words I used can not be added because they just can’t… This was a short quick read but had the impact of a full length novel, that’s just part of what this author does so perfectly!

This author hates me, I’ve decided that must be why she ended this book and the next one is not readily available yet…I can close my eyes and picture her finishing this part, setting the date for the next and then sitting back saying…Yes..that will do with an evil evil laugh while doing so!

So as I’ve said many times regarding anything I read by this author, this was truly amazing..I’m getting used to the darker side and feel like it might be totally mastered by this author as well as anything else she writes.

DO NOT read this one without reading Wrath, trust me on this, it wont work…As hard as I tried to despise Alek he found a way to draw me in and with his future plans floating out there waiting to find their way into book 3 I just can’t figure out how this author is going to handle all of this and that’s why she’s the writer and I’m the reader.

I cant write anymore without saying too much so I’m going to end this here with the hope that anyone that reads this review will run out and immediately one click both of the books in this series…They are amazing and I just don’t know if I will make it to August…Sigh….

Dark. Intense. A beautifully written suspense that absolutely must be read in series order. McNamee is a masterful storyteller hat has a gift with the words put to paper. She weaves a story so complete that you are immediately transported to walk along side the characters and relate immediately to their wants and needs. McNamee is proving to be a must read author and this latest release is no exception.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Each time I pick up a Gwyn McNamee book I swear that there is no way this new one could possibly top the last of hers I just read. Yet, every time I am completely proven wrong. There is no exception to the rule with After Wrath. This is the second book in the Deadliest Sin Series, and I would highly recommend that you start with book one, Wrath, before diving into this one. I suppose if you really didn’t want to you could read it as a stand alone, but I can’t imagine these books being anything but worth every single moment of your time. I love that these are short and sweet, well not sweet but you know what I mean. I was able to fully enjoy this book in one sitting during a rainy evening and it was over just in time for me to get a wee bit of sleep. Of course it be over was devastating, especially considering it will be August before we get to see what will come next in this series. Perfect amount of time to do a re-read however!

Alek, oh my goodness Alek. The man I pictured while reading his story was the perfect ideal, the bad boy type that you bring home to mom just to bug her, yet delicious to and sweet when it comes down to romance with Brynn. We don’t see a lot of details from her considering this is written strictly from Alek’s point of view, but I actually like the way things turned out in that regards. Same heads up as last time, this book is a dark read, one that may have you going uh eww a few moments but honestly so worth every one. I like seeding Ms. McNamee write so dark, it is very suiting for her and quite possibly my favorite books that she writes. I look forward to seeing what else she has in store for us, whether it be with this series or any other goodies she may have up her sleeve! Thanks for this fantabulous read Ms. McNamee!

After Wrath was exciting, emotional, and full of action. I feel it was just as good as book one and a great addition to this series. I do recommend reading book one before reading this second installment. There is a lot that provides back story to this novel in book one. Aleksander is the main character of this novel and he steps in to revenge his brother Seban and reclaim his brother’s territory. He seeks those who got away in book one. I loved the development of his character in this short novel and also the affect Kitty had on him. I really enjoyed this easy to read novel and highly recommend it. I cant wait to see what more this author has in store.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee was a dark, twisted read, that weirdly had me hooked.

Taking place in the aftermath of the first book, we’re once again taken on a war path of crime, rage and powerful dark love. I was captivating right away, just like the first book, the dark tones, the lust, the powerful characters are something to behold, and something that will hook you in seconds. I’ve never been one to read mob type books, but this fast, exciting read, was different. As they are around 100 pages, the story moves fast, there’s no fluff, no distractions to take away from the plot, but it doesn’t skip on the detail or character growth. These books pck a powerful punch, and managed to get under your skin and ignite the feels.

Overall this book is a must read, and I highly suggest reading the first book, as you won’t get the full effect of this one without it. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not be able to book this book or this series, down.

Happy Reading

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have a huge crush on this author and one click her books w/out question (I have purchased this one in paperback because THAT COVER!!!!.) Where The Hawke Family Series was a little dark and The Slip Series was light rom-com, The Deadliest Sin Series is WICKED and feels like it’s going to be a “chapter book” for adults.

AFTER WRATH is dark and sinister and oh so good. I’m not sure where this side of the author comes from. Who knew??? The story is well developed and easy to follow the plot as it unfolds. I don’t want to say anything else because I don’t want to give anything away. I will share my favorite (or one of them anyway) quotes from the book: “Get In. Get Off. Get Out. Get Gone.”

Book 1 absolutely must be read before reading this one.

It is currently May and the next story of the series does not come out until August. I feel like Veruca Salt in WILLY WONKA screaming “I WANT IT NOW”.

I absolutely 100% recommend this story.

This is a continuation from book 1, so these MUST be read in order.

While this story follows someone else, it’s his side of the aftermath from book 1, and how he is using all his resources to find someone. Even though he’s to be the bad guy, i found myself drawn to him, he’s a bad boy what do you expect lol.
And the ending had me cursing and saying I totally knew it. What a must read series and it now needs to be August so we can get the next one as I NEED it now!

The characters bring the story to life as well as leaving me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. He has lost something and now he wants revenge.

I must admit that I was really anticipating this book! I read the first and was on bated breath waiting to see how the story would continue to unfold. I most certainly wasn’t let down. I really find the author’s writing style to be quite refreshing.

The relationship between Brynn and Alek is unique. The whole possessiveness from Alek is bordering on psycho but you can really sense the protectiveness. The whole bad boy vibe just drips off of him and the I am the big man comes across. I also found it quite interesting how the author ties the second book to the first and was on tender hooks to see how Lorenc and Rea were and really routing for them to stay safe. I really can’t wait to read more from this author and series in the future.

After Wrath by Gwyn McNamee is the second book in the Deadliest Sins series. This series absolutely has to be read in order as it follows the same characters and is a continuation of the story.
I didn’t think after book 2 that this series could get any better but the author certainly brought her A game. This was incredible.
Alek is the exact opposite of a hero but that does not stop you from being drawn into him all the same. He is dark, angry and unafraid to exert his strength and power.
Again this is a short story but it really didn’t feel that way. It was as detailed and well written as a full length novel. And even if it had been full length it would have still be over too soon. If you are looking for something that isn’t your typical romance, that is a little bit more dark than your usual books then this is the series for you. Another 5* read from someone who is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine.
