Have you read Fury? If not…don’t continue. Rage is a sequel to Fury and you NEED to read that before you read Rage.ANYWAY, I’ll warn you. Steph is my girl. I want to hang out with her. Even from the beginning of Fury, I knew she was someone I’d want to hang out with. Phillip….while he made me angrier than I don’t know what, I still had a soft spot for the man. Cheyenne…eh. She drove me crazy, but I get it. We all have that friend. But, ok, really, enough of me babbling, let me get to the actual review.The book begins where Fury left off. Steph and Phillip are happy and in love and barfalicious and all that jazz. Of course, Michelle and Tammy couldn’t leave them be though. What fun would that be. Tragedy strikes. No one knows what happens….I mean, sure, we all have an idea, but Lord knows you can’t trust instinct when it comes to these books.Flash forward 10 MONTHS, TWENTY-FIVE DAYS AND FOUR HOURS AND THIRTEEN MINUTES LATERYes. You read that right. WHAT. THE. HECK?!?! I honest to God was staring at my kindle. HUH?!?!It’s time to face your demonsAnyway, proceed. Phillip and Steph are at odds (to say the least) at part 2 of this book. Pip is a complete and total jerk, but it’s more than obvious he’s doing this to protect his feelings. He still loves Steph, and no matter how hard she tries to deny her feelings, she loves him too.There’s drama (duh), there’s classic StephStop being so dramatic, Father What-A-Waste. I’m sure the Victoria’s Secret Angels would have consoled you Thornbirds-style if anything had happened to me.Speaking of Father What-A-Waste….I love Cedric. He’s Steph’s brother. Who is a priest. He’s her “person.” They may not have always been the closest but, he is the one she turns to when she needs someone and boy, does she ever need someone.I’ve been all over the world and heard the confession of thousands of people. My sister is still the single most jaded person I have ever encountered.Now, I’m not going into the ins and outs of this book and who did what and why and the “OMG” moments, but trust me when I say, this book will make you mad, it’ll frustrate you and there’s even going to be times where you go ‘awwwww.’ You may not love every character. You may love a character and want to make them your own. Regardless, this book is one of those books that I could relate to. I mean, obviously I’m not a super famous rockstar and I don’t take photos of famous people all over the world or jetset with my brother, BUT….the issues they were dealing with were real. THAT is what I want in a book. The leap that the authors made from Fury to Rage was absolutely astonishing. I loved Rage even more than I did Fury. No doubt in my mind.
