Heart breaking story this character has been dealt a raw hand at a young age and violence was the way he coped, now past and present crashes into a life that isn't a life. It is raw and intense but even with the pain comes a light that could just be a turning point to living again.. Cancer sucks,.It doesn't matter what form it comes in or if it's cured or terminal at the end of the day it changes everyone around that person, their feelings and how they look at life. Some people can be strong and determined not to be beaten, try hard to make it easy on those they love. Some do their best to raise money for research, some get angry. There is no right way to deal but I hope that supporting anyone that goes through any form of C helps in some tiny little way to make a difference, even if it's by buying a book to raise money for the charity. Though short this book is worth buying and reading, it does connect to Ava's other MC books by characters but it is also in support of an author who was loved by her friends and family.
Edited to add. I love the new additions to this already emotional story, it's raw and gut wrenching at times, small glimmers of light in the form of the farm and Mauve give hope for Wrath's future. I am keeping fingers crossed for more of this couple and hopefully Hellion MC. Though originally released as a charity book for Lavinia it's now been updated and extended slightly, I for one had no problem reading it again, it still had the big impact it had the first time, I still had the lump in my throat from the emotions, I still absolutely love how brutal but full of love and pain it is.

Before I start anything off make sure you have tissues to hand when you read this! Gosh it pulls at your heart strings!

Wrath receives a phone call from the past that he wasn't expecting and has to head down memory lane. When he gets there he has a decision to make, a decision that no one should ever have to make. A life altering decision.

Wrath wasn't expecting this trip to make him reevaluate his life choices but that is exactly what it is doing. Does he want to carry on the path he is heading? He still has one foot out the door, he isn't all the way in yet.

This book seriously takes you on a bumpy ride on the emotion train. For a short book it certainly packs a punch! I wish it was longer and we could've seen more of Wrath. I adore Wrath, I love his character. There is just something about him. There's a sneaky peek at the end for the next book and I'm looking forward to reading and catching up with everyone!

Wrath lost his way when his mother died. He became a nomad and an enforcer for a brutal MC known as Carnal. He did his job well and when he received a call from his past, he knew that it wouldn't be good. When he was asked to do something, Wrath chose to ride away. This story touched my heart and had me empathizing for both Wrath and Smokey.

Wrath had a traumatic upbringing, which has him joining an MC an becoming their brutal enforcer. When the past comes back asking for help, Wrath must face his demons, as the past and present collide. This is a heartbreaking emotional roller coaster, which is raw, gritty, intense, and intriguing, with action, danger, suspense, twists, drama, challenges, and love, which leads to an amazing page turner.

This is my first book reading by Ava Manello. It is a short story but contains everything you can expect from an MC story. There is action, drama, danger and sadness and many moments where you can feel the sadness of the characters. We also get a glimpse into Wrath's life. This is a recommended read.

More of MC Goodness with this novella that manages to pack a punch within its short pages!
Wrath is stuck between the bad as Carnal MC enforcer and the good of his past with Hellion MC.. so when his past comes calling he can't help but turn up and see what needs done.
Emotions, secrets and drama galore all in one story.
Look forward to more from all these guys in time!

Wrath has a hard decision to make, but does he make the right one? This story is short but non the less packed with emotion, heartbreaking scenes and more, a great set up for what's to come.

Five stars

A great but wrenching read. It's the story telling I've come to expect from ava and it just doesn't disappoint

[Helen Simpson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A small book that pacts a punch from action and heartache with some hard-hitting topics the author included them all. Wrath is an enforcer who believes he shouldn't have a good life. I enjoyed how the author gives us some hope a the end for wrath. I can't wait to see what happens.

Wraith

Wraith has had a rough past and his story is sad. This story was very emotional, but a good read. He has things he needs to overcome and his MC family understands.
