Audio Book Review: Rage and Ruin By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Rage and Ruin
(The Harbinger #2)
By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrator: Lauren Fortgang
Length: 16 hours and 38 minutes

Dangerous secrets and forbidden desires lead to shocking consequences… Don’t miss book two of the fantastical Harbinger trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Half-angel Trinity and her bonded gargoyle protector, Zayne, have been working with demons to stop the apocalypse while avoiding falling in love. The Harbinger is coming…but who or what is it? All of humankind may fall if Trinity and Zayne can’t win the race against time as dark forces gather.

As tensions rise, they must stay close together and patrol the DC streets at night, seeking signs of the Harbinger, an entity that is killing Wardens and demons with no seeming rhyme or reason. Forbidden to be with each other, Zayne and Trinity fight their feelings and turn to unusual sources for help—the demon Roth and his cohorts. But as deaths pile up and they uncover a sinister plot involving the local high school and endangering someone dear to Zayne, Trin realizes she is being led…herded…played for some unknown end. As anger builds and feelings spiral out of control, it becomes clear that rage may be the ruin of them all.

My Review:

What a rollercoaster of emotions! This is the first book that's made me tear up this year. I need the next book in this series as soon as humanly possible! There were so many highs and lows and even more wrench-your-heart-out lows.

Trinity has a good head on her shoulders. She tries her best to be self-sufficient and strong but knows when to ask for help. I appreciate her wanting to resolve the conflict that came up between her and Zayne like rational human beings by using their words. She's very mature and I love that.

Zayne went from sweet to a slight douche bag and right back to sweet and understanding. My heart didn't know what to believe in this novel. It hurt to experience all their ups and downs when I just wanted to hug them and tell them they would be okay.

One of the best parts of this book turned out to be Roth! I love his witty banter with Trin. I really enjoy him as a character. This book really convinced me that I never had a problem with Roth. I just really disliked having to be in Layla's head all that time.

The biggest twist at the end had me tearing up. I was going to flat out refuse to believe that I had read that part in the first place. I was going to metaphorically burn these books out of my mind if the author had gone along with it. On that note, I'm SO SO SO glad she didn't! I want to know what happens next!

The Audio Book:

The narrator was amazing! All the characters were distinguishable from each other. There were no strange noises in the background to distract from the story.
