"Jennifer L. Armentrout is a master of weaving rich contemporary realism with magic and mayhem. Her characters will grab hold of your heart and refuse to let go. Every page left me wanting more."—New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer

BOOK TWO IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING HARBINGER SERIES

Half-angel Trinity and her bonded gargoyle protector, Zayne, have been working with demons to stop the apocalypse while avoiding falling in love. The Harbinger is coming…but who or what is it? All of humankind may fall if Trinity and Zayne can’t win the race against time as sinister forces gather.

As tensions rise, they must stay close together and patrol the DC streets at night, seeking signs of the Harbinger, an entity that is killing Wardens and demons with no seeming rhyme or reason. But as deaths pile up and they uncover a plot endangering someone dear to Zayne, Trin realizes she is being led…herded…played for some unknown end. As anger builds and feelings spiral out of control, it becomes clear that rage may be the ruin of them all.

Ugh, the struggle.

Reading through the word ‘like’ in every single paragraph is extremely frustrated. There were times that I would have loved nothing more than to throw my phone in a lake of water so I wouldn’t finish this book.

Unfortunately, I’m persistent.

I cry at the drop of a hat, a sad infomercial, anything tragic happening to anyone and I had no remorse at all in this book. The heroine (if she can be called that) has no personality growth whatsoever. She is the epitome of a stupid teenager. She’s brash, angry and ignorant.

Don’t get me started on Zayne... he does everything for her, from fixing breakfast, to exploiting her sexual desires. She initiates not a dame thing. He’s perfect and she’s a needy, whack job that’s downright toxic.

The first book was predictable, but readable. And the story idea was really cool. Angels, demons, gargoyles, mix-breeds, I thought this was going somewhere. It was a huge disappointment. I knew twenty percent into this book that it was absolutely a waste of my time.

I don’t understand how this has so many good reviews but maybe I’m just biased. I do not recommend this book unless you truly enjoy helpless teenager girl that’s full of impulsiveness and angst.

2nd book syndrome

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020

Oof. I read Storm and Fury in march and while I didn't love it I thought it was alright. I really like this world that JLA created. The first 3 original books were great. I was never a fan of Zayne because he doesn't have a strong personality. It didn't change much in this. I think the issue is that he's so strict about his emotions that we as a reader don't see them. So when he suddenly claims that he wants and loves Trinity it's almost like being blindsided. Like we know there's attraction but not much showing how he loves her. I really think if we could get some chapters from his pov it would be a game changer. As for Trinity, she was a holy heck of a mess of emotions. None of which got sorted. There was a great opportunity for Trinity and Zayne to really talk and sort through everything but they just don't. Instead they avoid each other for days and I felt the awkward. This book was extremely easy to read and get into but 600 pgs was way too long. I had to push through at pg 500. There's not much action or plot. I enjoyed seeing Roth Cayman and Layla the most. Honestly if JLA wanted to write a 600 pg book about those 3 just hanging out im in. What bothered me the most though was the Harbinger plot. Once we find out who the big bad is I was just annoyed. It's a classic inside job brought forth from..jealousy? I dont even know. What role did his son play? Why were there Instagram jokes in a pivotal scene? Why didn't he kidnap Trinity right there and then? Why was Misha ok with his plan? Overall this spinoff just feels unneccessary and lazy. Stick to the original 3 books.

How am I supposed to wait for "Grace and Glory?!"

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020

I had to take a few days to write this review as my emotions were way too high. This book just rocked my world. My feelings were in a whirlwind (but the right kind!).

[image]

The characters have my heart, especially Peanut. He always has a way of bringing some light into a situation. From, "I thought it was totally bodacious of him." To, "I am not Casper, you insolent fool.” He has me chuckling at just the right moments. I have always liked Trinity, but I felt in the last book, her back and forth emotions frustrated me. However, it is also what makes her a great character in my mind. One part of me was screaming, "just make a decision," but the other half is thinking, "I would probably be doing the same thing." Zayne, Roth, Layla, and Cayman are still the same great characters from book one.

I enjoyed how I felt like I was solving the issue of "who is the Harbinger" with the characters. As a reader, I like to feel included, and I think the author does a lovely job with that. It was also not an easy guess, as some books can be. I did not see it coming when the Harbinger is revealed. In retrospect, there were little hints, which tied the plot lines together. It just made sense, which is also something I love when reading. "I should have seen this" feeling.

With this book, I laughed, I cried, I had mini heart attacks, I stayed up WAY too late, and I loved every second of it. This could be one of my favorite books I have read this year. I am not sure how I am going to make it until June 2021 as the book ends on, just the most perfect of cliffhangers.

Here is to anxiously awaiting, "Grace and Glory!"

5 Emotion filled, rollercoaster of a ride stars!

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020

Rage and Ruin is book 2 of The Harbinger series, and it cannot be read as a standalone. You must read Storm and Fury first.

Picking up where S & F leaves off, R & R focuses on the growing (and forbidden) attraction between Zayne and Trinity, the struggle to navigate their new normal of being bonded to one another, and the quest to find the Harbinger.

Zayne, as a character, has really grown and developed since he was first introduced in White Hot Kiss (The Dark Elements series). Though he claims Trin has a light and a spark inside her, his light shines even brighter. Even better? He is very much of the "Rules Were Made to Be Broken" camp. And I dig it. Roth is clearly rubbing off on him.

Zayne is also vulnerable. I wanted to wrap that Stony man in a hug and tell him how worthy he is of all the things.

Trin is still dealing with heartache from events that occurred in S & F. Full disclosure, there were times I really struggled with her character. There is a selfishness to her and a wealth of immaturity. But there is also the weight and burden of being what she is, her fears and uncertainty.

Trin's relationship with Roth is entertaining, and, much like he did for Layla, he offers her the chance to tap into her potential and shift her perspective, while also providing unsolicited (yet valuable) advice.

There is a lot of humor in this story mostly from the banter and push and pull between Zayne and Trin, but also because, well, Roth.

This book, it absolutely gutted me. The depth of emotion between Zayne and Trinity, their fears, and the twists and turns at the end? I don't even know what to do with myself. Have tissues because, to quote Zayne, there's a lot you don't know.

Absolutely Everything

I chose to rate this book 5 and I would have given it more if it would have let me. This is the perfect second book in the series for the Harbinger. Rage and Ruin drew me in and would not let me go until the very last page. Everything is so, so well written. I felt like I understood every characters decisions and thoughts. Jennifer L. Armentrout doesn't just create a beautiful, magical, world for us to enjoy. But it's meaningful and touches on some big issues in life. Through her characters you really do understand that not everyone is good or evil. It makes you think about real life and how people treat others. I have loved every second of this book. I have heart broken, lifted, joyful and in wonder of what the next book in the series will bring.

If you are thinking of starting this series. Stop thinking and just do it. You won't be disappointed. It's funny and witty. Serious and sad. Hilarious and uplifting. I haven't felt this way about a series of books in years.

Had to wait a while for part two of this thrilling series, but goodness was it worth it. Make cha has died, Zambezi is the real
Protector and Trinity’s eye sight continues to diminish. The forbid fruits are tasted and consequences become apparent but that is enough of a spoiler or red herring. This episode continues on a gripping theme, between semi good and drastic evil. There is humour and banter between the characters. There is so much drama it exploded from the pages. Relationship issues and trust thread their way between most of the characters, and with this the story builds into one heck of a climax. There is romance in the darkest of moments, but most of all there is a phenomenal story to read, digest and enjoy. I await part three with baited breath and hope it is not to far away.

Full of suspense!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2020

Rage & Ruin is the second book in the Harbinger series, and things are really starting to heat up! If you're looking for a supernatural series with a slow-burn forbidden romance, as well as being full of suspense and mystery - this is a series for you!

This book is full of suspense and mystery following the shocking twist at the end of the first book and tensions are really starting to rise rapidly between Wardens and Demons, as well as Zayne and Trinity! I really enjoyed the pacing of this book, nothing was too rushed which for the premise of this book is needed.

I am a big JLA fan and the characters she writes. JLA's characters are not your typical good vs evil characters, they have their own flaws and downfalls (as we all do!) and this makes them especially likeable.

Regarding Zayne and Trinity, I am really loving watching their relationship grow as they find out more about themselves as individuals, as well as bonded partners. What I especially love is how both Zayne and Trinity are breaking the mould of what, and who, a Warden should be. Trinity is constantly proving how strong she is as a woman, and Zayne is right there along side her both as her protector and supporter. As such, we really get to see Zayne develop in this book and come to terms with many things especially his relationship with Layla and Roth (I love how we get to see more of Layla and Roth in this series and not just as minor pop-ups!).

As the last book set the scene, Rage and Ruin really delivered with thrilling twists and turns as well as one hell of a cliff hanger! I am really looking forward to reading the fallout of these events in the next book!

Brilliantly written and great characters

This book is just amazing, I loved the Dark Elements series and Zayne was one of my favourite characters. So it’s great that he now has his own series with Trinity. JLA writes strong female characters so well and you immediately start rooting for Trinity and Zayne. For lovers of the DE series - there are so great scene with Layla and Roth. This book gave me twists and turns, shocks and tears and lots of smiles. I can’t wait for the next in the series.

Absolutely loved this! As per usual, Jennifer’s books never disappoint! This got me out of my lockdown slump, only took my a day to read. Was actually meant to be working from home but kept reading this between tasks!

I’m just sad that I read it so quickly and now have to wait so long for her next release :(

Have been reading Jennifer’s books for countless years now- would recommend to anyone to read this book and every other book she has written :)
