"RAGE" by Linda Burson (Reviewed by Jennifer Dickerson)



Plagued by horrible nightmares, Marcy is a force to be reckoned with. She is fueled by anger and tension: taking it out on those closet to her and even  strangers. I immediately felt connected to this character, seeing myself in her easily agitated behavior.  The fact that Marcy can’t see the severity of her actions, made this reader re-think my own anger-fueled words and actions from the past. There is a major development in the plot, within the first 5 chapters, that exposes Marcy’s rage as a weapon, instead of a life-ruining handicap. We soon meet a mysterious man, Liam, who brings Marcy  into a whole new world, turning the world she once knew even deeper into Chaos.
There is a beautiful and passionate romance between Marcy and Brad that kept me on my toes. The arguing between them showed just how much they try care for each other. You can feel the tension and love and lust. Marcy’s employees and friends play a huge part in her life, and are the perfect supporting characters for her. Each person is written in a very believable fashion, to the point that this reader was pulled very deep into the story. All in all, without giving too much away, I give this book a great big thumbs up, and suggest Rage to anyone looking for a romantic, mysterious, and mind-thrilling adventure.
