Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Angela Hayes

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3)Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Surviving Wrath is the third and final heart-pounding instalment in The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. So, before I go any further with my review, I am going to make a confession. I HATE writing reviews for Gwyn McNamee’s books- why you might ask? Because her stories are so #@%$*!^ good that I really have trouble coming up with the words to do them the justice they deserve, that’s why!
ARGGGGH this book flung me around on an emotional rollercoaster ride- right from the beginning. The story starts off with a bang, and we jump right into the action. I wanted to hit the pause button, but I was too afraid that I’d miss something. So the high-octane adrenaline fueled action pulled me in and then held me captive while everything unfolded.
We’ve been on quite a journey since starting out on book #1. So much has happened, the books really feel much longer than the novellas they are- and I mean that in a good way. While the books may be short in length, they are in no way lacking in content!
This book 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 of each individual book as well as the overall storyline…
After the climactic ending to the previous book, I really though I knew where the story was headed- but I definitely should have known better! Gwyn McNamee always twists things in a direction I don’t fully expect. There are some things that happened in this book with certain characters which had my heart in my mouth- and left me cursing out Ms. McNamee. And, if she is reading this, she will know exactly what I’m referring to! I had expectations, and then Ms. McNamee snuck up behind me and smacked me over the back the head and said think again B*@%h!…..And I have to admit now, in hindsight, and after numerous readings- it was the best direction to take the story!
So, how far would you be willing to go to protect, or avenge, a loved one? Would you let wrath lead you? Would you fall into its bloody embrace? This story explores this concept- and we see what happens when a monster and a dragon go head to head (and no, this isn’t a paranormal story)- just read it and you’ll know what I mean!
There is sooooo much more I would like to say, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. So, if you like compelling, dark, and intense reads- with complex characters and multi-layered storylines- then this is definitely the story/series for you! What are you waiting for? Dive in!
Brilliant!

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Angela Hayes

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

 

 

 

“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

 

Wrath is the first book in The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. This is about the fourth time I’ve read this book and I love it just as much as I did the first time it blew me away. This might be a short story, but it packs quite a punch. It is dark, erotic, raw, bloody, brutal, and action-packed. It is such a short read, and because quite a lot happens in such a short amount of time- reading this book was like being shot out of a cannon; flinging me into a heart pounding ride while I hung on for dear life, with all my senses on high alert…. And I loved every single second!!!
Wrath is the deadliest sin, and this story/series explores how wrath can consume a person- and what they are capable of while in its grip. The story is full of passion, destruction, violence, insanity, festering hate, suspense, and revenge.

Because the story is so short, it would be easy to spoil it for you by going into any detail- so I’m not going to explore any of the storyline here- I recommend diving in and letting Gwyn McNamee and the story blow you away.

Just Brilliant!

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee

5 ++++++ Stars

I just read this book in about 3 hours, I could not put it down once I started. I was so so so angry after Squall Line (angry in a good way LOL) and I could not wait to dive in to this one and I loved it just as much as Squall Line…There was sort of a cliffhanger but not one like the other so Im not swearing after this one.

There was a twist in this one that floored me, I had no idea and I think I kinda like it but I’m not sure, so we will see what the next book brings.

I have fallen in love with all of these people and can’t wait for what I hope is all of their stories. This series is a bit different than I’m used to from this author and Im really really loving it and hope she continues it for a while. I love how she is carrying these stories over into the next book, keeping everyone major players throughout.

I loved it as I do anything that this author writes and can not wait for the next in this series.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3)Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Perfect title to explain this three-book series. Surviving Wrath. Or just simply surviving. Everyone needs to survive. Well, not everyone. There are certain people in this story that deserve to die. And thankfully McNamee sees fit to make it happen in this book. But then again it wouldn’t be a McNamee book if there wasn’t a twist or two to keep you guessing!

Konstandin and Rea, formerly known as Griffin and Jade to throw off the mafia, are trying desperately to survive the wrath that started in book one.

“So, what I have learned over the last two years is that wrath is a deadly sin. It will take your life. It will take you mind. It will take your heart, but sometimes…The only way to survive wrath is to give into it.”

Such a great story that touches on the dark side of life. But where there is darkness there is always light.

My favorite part of this book was the actual ending. Simple. Done. No questions asked.

Completely recommend this story but you must start with book one.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3)Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee is a fast paced short novella but don’t let that fool you, there is so much going on that you are glued to it, just trying to hang on for the ride. The last book ended in a cliff hanger, so I was excited to get my hands on this one as I enjoy Gwyn’s stories.

Rea is still in hiding but this night is not like any night before, this night will see her in the hands of a predator, this night will end with her heart breaking with all she has gone through in the last couple of years.

This is the last book to this series and I am sad to see it end. I so look forward to what Gwyn brings us next.

O-M-G!!! What a phenomenal read! I was completely captivated by this book from the very first page! This author truly does know how to capture my attention and keep it until the very last word. I thought I loved book 1 in the series but Ms McNamee took this story to a completely different level – I think it is definitely in my top 5 reads of 2019, if not my favourite!
I probably shouldn’t have liked Cutter, I mean he wasn’t the nicest of characters but I couldn’t help myself, there was just something that drew me to him straight away. Valentina was a great female lead, I kind of expected her to be a little naive but she wasn’t at all – she could definitely stand her ground!
I almost wish I had never read this story just so I can go back and start it all over again! Fantastic characters, great storyline and a twist that I absolutely did NOT expect! I absolutely loved this book and I cannot recommend it enough!!!

5-Stars

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee was an action packed novel. It had steamy romance and brutal fight scenes. It cannot be read as a standalone.

We are once again following Rea as she continues to hide from those searching for her to have revenge. She has a huge surprise and thinks take a crazy turn with the storyline. Wrath makes its presence known once again with this final book. I loved how much the characters changed from book one. I found it very easy to read and I could not put this book down until I was finished with it. It was an excellent conclusion to this series and I highly recommend both this book and the series. Excellent read!

As always, with any book she writes, Gwyn McNamee knocked it out of the park with this one.

It was over before I wanted it to be. I have more questions or need to knows, actually but this summed up the series in a way I guess it called for.

I was sad and happy through the whole thing, even the ending.

I cant wait to read more from this author as she has me hooked for life.

McNamee certainly knows how to draw her readers in and send them on quite the thrill ride full of suspense and amazing chemistry. This second installment of the Inland Seas series continues the amazing journey begun in book one. Our two MC in this installment are just as magnetic and wonderfully flawed as you come to expect with McNamee. A master storyteller, this book doesn’t disappoint and kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. I loved every word and can not recommend it highly enough! Run and get your own copy ASAP!

The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee is a series to get if you love romantic suspense books. Ms. McNamee does a wonderful job with her descriptive writing. She is able to paint a picture you can see in your mind’s eye. Surviving Wrath is the last book in the series. Ms. McNamee held my interest from the first page of book one, Wrath to the last page in Surviving Wrath. Her characters are fully developed and personable. There is a roller coaster ride of emotions and with some twists and turns in the plot. There are sometimes when I am engrossed in a book that I start taking to my kindle. One lesson I learned from this series is that Wrath will find you wherever you are because it is one of the deadliest sins.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee was fast pace, intriguing read, that packs a mean punch.

This book was everything you wanted in concluding a series. As I said it was fast pace, but moved in a steady way as to keep the reader engaged. There wasn’t a dull moment, as the detail kept your mind there, and the suspense kept you on the edge of your seat. This book at times will get you in the feels, with its well written characters, plot, and storytelling. The author did a wonderful job at making this book feel like a full leant novel. It’s always amazed me when Authors can do that. This book is part of a series, so make sure you read the other books before this one. As it has a building continuous plot, and you won’t get the full impact if you skip them, like this book they aren’t long reads.

Overall this book is more then worth your time an energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

The story Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that once I started, I didn’t want to stop reading until the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Cutter and Valentina. Valentina is a strong, intelligent, and independent woman. She finds herself being saved by Cutter. He doesn’t hide his anger or suspicion of her. She is finding herself drawn to him. Cutter is a man that is deadly and dangerous. He is good at planning missions and carrying them out. What he doesn’t expect is how his plans and objectives are compromised by thoughts of her. What does the future hold for Valentina and Cutter? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of suspense that will have you wondering what is going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the interactions between the other characters that are in the book. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you glued to the pages until the very end. I highly recommend reading it.

What an absolute fantastic ending. I was so excited to read this book and I was not disappointed. The author has done such a wonderful job of keeping the reader hooked and drawing the story to an ending. The book was just such an addicting read.

The twist that the author brings into the story was quite unexpected but so good. I like how the book was not predictable. I like how the author balances the action and drama with a slight romance undertone. The characters are also so drawing. They just jump right off of the pages and I felt as though I was in the thick of the action with them. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

5 ++++++++ Stars

Trying to figure out why if I’m so angry after finishing this book I am still giving it 5 stars…
Well because it brought out emotions that have made it hard to write this review although I finished the book almost a week ago.

I read after the story was done and totally understand what this author was trying to accomplish with this whole series and she did it beautifully, that doesn’t change the fact that I had hopes of some things ending differently. Early in this book I even had an idea of something that might turn into another series after this series was done, taking place in Canada and I think I was just hoping I was right.

With all of the above being said…This series was out of this world amazing. When a group of 3 books can have this sort of affect on me I know beyond a shadow of a doubt this author is in a class of her own, I actually already knew that but this whole series has proven it.

Not going to add anything pertaining to the storyline because it would be nothing but spoilers for anyone that hasn’t read the first two and YOU HAVE to read the first two. They are all short reads packed full of content you need going into this last part.

This author sits firmly in my top favorites and there won’t ever be a book I wont read by her.

I also already want to read all 3 of these again back to back!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee is the third book in the Deadliest Sin series. This is a series that does need to be read in order as each one follows the same story and is a continuation throughout.
From the moment I started reading this series I knew that I would be in for a ride. After reading the first two books I knew that this one would be the most exciting of them all. And the author definitely takes you on such a ride. It is fast paced and intense right from the start. The book has so many twists and turns the whole way through. I honestly wasn’t sure which way this was ever going to go as this author really isn’t scared to turn things on their head.
The characters were so exciting to read about, I simply couldn’t get enough of them. I would have loved if this book were longer as I really didn’t want it to end. If you haven’t read this series then I cannot recommend enough that you put it to the top of your to read pile.

Every time I think I have found my favourite book from this author along she comes with her next release and does it again! I think the majority of my top 50 books belong to this author. Every single one is amazing and the third and final book in The Deadliest Sin series is of course no exception. I have loved this series, which does need to be read in order, and Surviving Wrath was just the perfect conclusion to it. Although I am, as always when a series by Ms McNamee finished, sad that it’s over that just means there will be something new out soon!
After the cliff-hanger of book 2 we were straight back into the action with the beginning of this book. I loved seeing things from Rea’s side although the story was quite short and 100% left me wanting more. The author managed to save some shock and surprises for this story too which was fantastic – she definitely saved the best until last with this one!
As mentioned before the series must be read in order but I more than 100% recommend it – it’s a phenomenal read and I can’t wait to see what this amazingly talents author comes out with next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gwyn McNamee is one of those authors that is next to impossible to accurate to review… I say this because I have increasingly run out of words to describe how great her novels are. The Deadliest Sin Series has been one that I have loved right out the gate and it has been a hellacious ride to this fabulous finale, Surviving Wrath. I am sad to see this series ends, but hopeful because that means that there will soon be a new story to come from McNamee that will sweep me away just as fabulously. This definitely is one you will want to read in order however so if you haven’t first scooped up Wrath, book one, and After Wrath, book two, then you will want to do so immediately and start there. IF I had one thing to say about this book is it was short and so fast paced I feel as if I barely got enough to satiate my palette of Rea’s side of things. But I see the full vision and why she cut things off the way she did. It simply makes me dream of a bonus novella… hint hint lol. Really it is difficult to say anything negative about this book. Rea is the star of this one and as far as details you won’t find them here in my review, for those you will need to devour this read for yourself. I know you won’t be disappointed that you did! Buckle up! You’re in for one heck of a ride!

Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee (The Hawke Family Book 6) – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

Steele Resolve (Hawke Family #6)Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve is the sixth and final instalment of the Hawke Family series. Returning to New Orleans and the world of the Hawke’s always has me excited, but there was something extra intriguing about this story. Following the Hawke’s enemy, Luca Abello, was something I was both intrigued and nervous about. After everything his family has done to the Hawke’s, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to connect with him or his life. How wrong could I be?!

Our connection to the Hawke’s isn’t just through Luca. The other part of the book is written from Byron’s point of view, a long-standing employee and friend of the Hawke family. I immediately liked Byron and connected with his character. He’s open, honest and loyal and an all-round good person. This left me wondering even more about how someone so kind-hearted was going to find a connection with Luca. Well, it turns out Luca isn’t as bad as I thought. In fact, I ended up rather liking him, too! Luca has spent most of his life lying and putting up a false-front, so seeing him be so raw and real with Byron was so much fun to read. They really had an instant connection, and while this isn’t everyone’s favourite thing to read, I really felt like the chemistry they had was real and believable.

As with every Hawke Family instalment, this book had its drama and danger. The ‘oh my god’ moment in this book really took me by surprising; I actually had to stop and re-read to make sure I had read things correctly. It was such a shock and so unsuspecting, I loved it! But by far, my most favourite part of this book was the epilogue. No spoilers here but it was so so beautiful. It is, 100%, a very satisfying ending. For a series I love so much, this was a great addition and such a wonderful way to end things; what a bittersweet read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve is the closing chapter of Gwyn McNamee Hawke Family series. It is absolutely not meant to be read as a standalone! All the stories in the series are intertwined and you need to read them in order to fully understand where the writer is taking you! It is a novella but it packs a punch and gives us a grand finale that the series deserves!
Love is the battlefield for Byron Harris and Luca “Steele” Abello that comes with real threats and dire consequences … they are walking along the path that I do not wish even onto my enemies though if it all goes well, their life would be one of the fairy tales … Luca is the son of Hawke family enemy, his father almost destroyed the family and brought untold pain and misery … Byron is the adopted member of the family that he cannot imagine to be disloyal to … what should they do? Let each other go? Steal the moments? What a drama does the writer give us when she brings it all together … the past and the present and the future … and the epilogue … my goodness!
I know that the writer will give us many more stories and I will be on a lookout!

Steele Resolve what a book! I must say this wasn’t the usual genre of book I read but due to it being a Hawke Family book, I couldn’t miss the chance of reading Gwyn McNamee’s work again! It was bittersweet reading this book as it’s the last but I’m excited to see what other amazing things this author brings. This book should only really be read as part of a series, for the full story to make sense, and to fully understand every story surrounding the Hawke family.

With that being said, Steele Resolve was written amazingly with some incredible characters. Luca & Byron have undeniable strong chemistry but is it meant to be? They face some major ups and downs that keep you hooked throughout. This book is full on content and you are captivated right until the very end.
I still love that these books are written in dual POV’s as it really gives you a better insight into each character their real thoughts and feelings, and makes you love and connect with them even more.
I can’t believe this series is over, I will be hoping for Gwyn McNamee to revisit some of our favourite characters and give us some more of their story, but until then, Thank-you for this amazing series you have brought us.
I highly recommend everyone read this series and enjoy it as much as I did!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve is the sixth novel in the Hawke Family series my Gwyn McNamee. This is my ninth novel by this author.

Words can’t describe how I feel after reading this. This author is one of my favorites and I have to read whatever she writes when I see she has something new coming out.

This was just as emotional and roller coaster ride as the previous novels and I loved this one to pieces. It had me sad, cry, happy and at times I wasn’t sure what to feel.

I read that this was the last installment in the Hawke family series. I am not ready to say goodbye to these characters. In fact, I may just reread the series including the novels I did not get a chance to read.

I don’t read a lot of M/M romances but I am going to start putting this on my list especially anything as engaging as this with Romeo and Juliet vibe (which is my favorite play).

I look forward to authors next novel even if the book is not this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve (The Hawke Family Book 6) by Gwyn McNamee. This book was amazing. I stayed up until 2 am reading it. I didn’t want to put it down. Its the story of Mob Boss Luca Steele Abello, a master manipulator, liar and user. So when Byron Harris has a one night stand with him not knowing who he actually was, he’s devastated. Byron knows that Luca’s dad is the person that tried to destroy Byron’s family or the only people who have ever treated him like family. Luca seems to be trying to make amends for his father’s doings but Byron doesn’t trust him but he can’t resist him. Will Luca really change and become a more honest business man or is he just up to his old tricks. Byron knows his relationship with him could be deadly for both of them but he can’t stop from going to him. Will Byron and Luca survive or will everything fall apart when the Hawke’s find out and will they shut Byron out. This is an amazing book and once you start reading you won’t want to stop!
