I have to say that, as with the first book in the Sons of Darkness Series, the plot is just as gritty and action-packed in Wrage. I enjoyed reading this book and was drawn into the story from the first page. I give Wrage a definite A! and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
"Wrage" is the second book in 'The Sons of Darkness Series". Joseph Spencer pens his plot filled with mystery and suspense and plenty of twists and turns that will keep you guessing. As with the first book in the series "Grim", the author balances out the real and the supernatural realms just right, and his characters were very well developed and believable which made this a book I had a really hard time putting down. Highly recommended for all psychological crime thriller fans.
