Publisher's summary

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.

Where is Cary Hite!!

The story was good. I don't expect anything less from K’wan but the delivery wasn't as good as I know it could be.

Niave

Jonas was very Niave
Alex hypocrite if she wanted him out the streets don’t accept anything from him until he is out. So many women say get out the game but accept the cars the homes and the life big hypocrites
Ace envious and greedy
Wrath is No Animal

K’wan is my favorite author

I love all of K’wan’s stories but did not like the ending of this story. I do give him credit because most of the authors today write with a sequel in mind without giving a complete story so you feel cheated but not K’wan.

The Devil Did It

Excellent read. Get ready set go. Once you start reading you can’t put it down. The devil comes in many different disguises, and requires payment in full.

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.
