They call me Rage.
My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up.
I fly under the radar because no one ever suspects I’m capable of the kind of brutal violence I commit each and every day.
You see, I’m a girl. I’m nineteen.
And I'm a killer.
This life is all I know. It’s all I want to know. It keeps the s**t buried that I need kept buried. It allows me to live without thinking too much.
Without dwelling on the past.
Until him.
It all changes when an ordinary boy becomes my next target.
And my first love.
I have to choose.
The only life I’ve ever known has to die, or he does.
Either way, I’ll be the one pulling the trigger...
Q&A Review By Micah, Angie, and Liezel
What was your favorite quote?
Micah: “In some ways, she was naive. Innocent even. In other ways, she was the devil himself.
I feel like this summed up both characters really nicely. Nolan was accepting Rage for who she was and Rage…well, this was her incarnate. She was naive in a lot of ways and also, really devoid of all empathy for strangers. I say, strangers because she was capable of empathy once she got close to a person…it just took a lot to break through those barriers.
Angie: “I’d never seen anything like the girl in my arms. Beautiful. Strong. Fierce and Fiery. A force greater than any storm and twice as destructive. In some ways, she was naive. Innocent even. In other ways, she was the devil himself. I’d never wanted anyone more.”
Was the story predictable?
Micah: In some ways, yes. In others, no. I think the romance of the story went pretty much how one would expect…a normal timeline. It wasn’t loved at first sight, more like lust for both of them. So, as far as the love story, I felt like yes, that was predictable. Although, at first, I wasn’t even sure there was going to BE a love story.
However, other elements of the story were not predictable. The jobs Rage got and her reactions to what happens in her life were never guaranteed. I did enjoy that. It never left you feeling balanced.
Angie: I don’t think it was. At first when Rage met Nolan I thought it would be but it wasn’t. TM through some twist in there I wasn’t expecting and I loved that.
What did you like, dislike about the story?
Micah: I LOVED Rage’s character. And Nolan. I thought they were both really new insights into this genre and it was refreshing. I loved reading a character that is devoid of so many emotions and Nolan really being intrigued by that.
What did I dislike? Hmm…not much, really. I did feel like the big “dark” event that happened at the end seemed out-of-place in the story. It happened with not much story left and it felt sort of..unresolved? I don’t know. I didn’t think it was really a dark romance, but it was added to make the story “darker”.
Angie: I loved almost the whole story. There was one part near the end that I didn’t like and wasn’t sure why it was added but that still doesn’t sway how much I love All the Rage. It was just a minor inconvenience, that’s all.
What did you think about Rage? Nolan? Did you think they paired well?
Micah: I loved both of their characters and I think they were a good match. I think Nolan recognizing that strong women sometimes need to lose control in the bedroom was interesting. And whew, this story had some heat. Rage is seriously bad-ass and is one of my favorite heroine’s that I’ve read.
Angie: I loved Rage. She has her problems sure. They are a million times worse than most normal people but who am I kidding. Who’s really normal? No one is. I loved her issues and I even love that she has an outlet for them instead of being a serial killer. I never not liked her and maybe that says something about the darkness in me. I loved Nolan too. He had an air of mystery around him but he was also a man who knew what he wanted. This drew me to him like a moth to a flame! He’s a strong, sexy man who I wouldn’t mind if he made me his.
Did I think they paired well?I said this to Liezel and Micah. I think they were kindred spirits and they were drawn to each other. They knew there was something that was the same but didn’t exactly know what.
Would you recommend this book?
Micah: Yes! I give it 5 stars. T.M. Frazier never disappoints!
Angie: Yes! I’ve already told everyone about it! Gifted a few copies! Everyone needs to read All the Rage even if you haven’t read any other book by T.M. Frazier, you need to read this!
Liezel: This was another one of those T.M. Frazier’s books that I couldn’t put down. If dark romances is your thing then I definitely recommend that you pick this one up.
