Find Wrath (Seven Deadly Sins #4) Imagined By Victoria Christopher Murray Accessible In Publication

received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.


Wrath releases on January,

Wrath is a book about a male, Xavier, who believes that marriage will solve all of his problems.
Xavier is deeply broken he has extreme anger issues, and is the ultimate manipulator, He also has serious mommy issues which affected how he treated women, From a child, Xavier was seen as a burden, He was abused and unloved and that carried on into his adulthood, When Xavier meets Chastity he fell so hard but it didnt take long for his true colors to show.
The author did a good job with the storyline because although I wasnt a big fan of Xavier at all, I couldnt stop reading.
Surely karma was coming for him!! I am giving four because it started really slow, I also wasnt too big on Chastity she was kind of weak in a sense, For her to have been so, “book smart” she lacked all common sense when it came to her relationship.
This book involves: child abuse and domestic violence, I tell you what! I couldnt drink enough wine to get me through this book, If you enjoyed Lust . Wrath will make your head spin!!! Just call the exorcist because somebody needs one! Whewww

Lawd, if you don't deal with your issues.
Your issues will show up an swallow you hole, There was so much too this novel, Fastpaced, suspenseful page Turner. This book reiterated why I dont have to know what a Victoria Christopher Murray book is about before I purchase it.
She hit this one out the park as she always does, I absolutely loved this book from the first page to the end, It kept me guessing the outcome of this story and the end did not disappoint, I gave this oneand highly recommend, Everything that is good, or at least appears to be, is not good for you, In Wrath, by Victoria Christopher Murray, Chastity Jeffries discovers this the hard way, Chastity meets Xavier King, a handsome and seemingly nice young man, However, what she does not know is that behind that façade, there is something not quite right, As the daughter of a prominent pastor, Chastity has learned many lessons, some good, some not so good, about men and relationships.
Xavier has learned some lessons, too, When these two come together, sparks flyin more ways than one, Both characters are welldrawn, and the story is not an unusual one, There is no blame here, only the telling of the story, Heartbreak, suspense, and intrigue can all be found in the book, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.
I truly did not want this book to end, I have read books by the author since the beginning of her career, and there is not one book that I have not enjoyed.
This was one of the best books she has ever written, There were several times I was so shocked, I almost threw my kindle across the room, I was recovering from an illness while reading, and it was so exciting, I ended up reading it in several hours.
It captivated my attention from the very first word, There were also several "what in the world" and "did I just really read that " moments several times throughout the story.
Charity's father happened to be my favorite secondary character, Several times I looked at him like 'did you really just say that", And I was not expecting it to end like that either, This was such an entertaining and very well written story,

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review, Theres so much to say but for now Ill just say that its the best one in the series!! When I am reading a book and my emotions run so high that I want to reach through the pages and shake a character.
. . that's a good book! I always enjoy this author and will read more from her, This story was relatable in that we all make choices sometimes that in our better judgment we wouldn't, We get in situations that we thought we never would so it is sometimes easy to judge others for doing things we say we would never do.


I think this storyline was a good one, It held my interest from beginning to end, Wrath is Victoria Christopher Murray's latest installment in her Seven Deadly Sins series and I must admit, this is my favorite thus far.
In this story we are introduced to Xavier King and Chasity Jeffries, Initially their story appears to be kismet, but like the old saying goes, everything that glitters isn't gold,


Chastity Jeffries is nothing short of royalty, the daughter of Kareem “KJ” Jeffries, a NBA player turned mega pastor.
Pastor Jeffries is a great dad, but hasnt always been a great husband, His infidelities have ruined all of Chastitys childhood memories, so much so that she moves to Atlanta just to get away.
When Chastity returns to New York shes determined to not let her past dictate her future, but in the end she realizes shes more like her mother than shes willing to admit.
“Chastity, I have prayed for this, You lived through so much of the bad, I want only the best for you now, ”


Xavier Kings childhood was filled with hate, Abandoned by his mother, never knowing his father and hated by his grandmother, Xavier has no clue what love looks like.
But even with no precedent on how to love or how to be a man, Xavier is determined to defeat all odds.
“You know, grief is a deep emotion that leaves its remnants for years, sometimes decades, There are few whove gone through something as tragic as what youve experienced, especially being so young, who have walked away unscathed by that kind of trauma.
“ Xavier left Sumner, Mississippi and never looked back, hes become a man anyone would be proud of, From the outside looking in Xavier is the perfect man, a man any woman would be proud to have on her arm.
Xavier has one chink in his armor, his anger issues,


Chastity and Xavier meet and their connection is almost instantaneous, Reading this story was almost like watching a train wreck, you know that its coming, but you cant pull your eyes away from the impending doom.
“And because wrath is the extreme of anger, the Lord is warning that anyone who goes to that extreme is a person who will do it again and again and again.
” Chastitys religious background makes her more forgiving and understanding than she should be, “But this is what I knowXavier King deserves happiness, After all hes been through, this is the first time hes allowed himself to fall in love, ”


This story touches on domestic violence, which may be a trigger for some readers even though the scenes weren't overly graphic or gruesome IMO.
Overall I enjoyed this story, it was well written and held my attention, I loved the religious aspect that Victoria usually adds to her stories, Initially I didnt care for Kareem Jefferies, but by then end of the story he turned out to be my favorite character.
I didnt like the fact that there were so many flash backs written in, but it didnt take away from the story.
The moral of the story was eloquently conveyed and the message was definitely received, “If you find yourself with a wrathful person, this is what the scripture is saying: You cannot save a wrathful man from the consequences of his intemperance.
You may do it once, you may do it twice, But if that man is unchanged, all of your efforts will be useless, and the help you have given will only make him believe that she can continue to indulge his wrath with impunity.

Chastity and Xavier are two young successful attorneys who meet and quickly fall dangerously in love, They both share painful pasts with her father being a publicly exposed adulterer and his mother abandoning him as a child.


Chastity was smitten with Xavier because was handsome, successful and so charming, It made it easy for her to overlook red flags and warnings from loved ones, because she could “manage” him.


Every now and again I come across a book that makes me feel like Im reading my own story.
This book gave me chills and took me to a dark place in my past where I was on the opposite end of someones wrath.


I begin to ponder:
Why have I ignored red flags
Why did I ignore my family telling me to get out!
Why did I feel like I could fix him
Why did I feel like it wouldnt happen again
How could I indirectly put my loved ones in my turmoil

Ive already started the conversations with my teenage daughter to never overlook red flags and to immediately get out of any situation where you are in fear.
Abuse never stops at “the first time”,

Wrath is an Urban/Christian novel, one of the books in the “Deadly Sins” series and I absolutely loved it.
I hadnt read the previous books, but didnt feel like I missed anything, As with all the books in this series,VCM did an outstanding job, This was a quick and powerful read, She penned a work that revealed the volatility of Chastity and Xaviers relationship, Two attorneys, who moved too quickly, found their lives upended by the impact that extreme anger can have on a relationship.
These two individuals came from very different backgrounds: one the offspring of a prominent philandering Pastor and a loving mother and the other a child who knew of only pain and despair.


Adults often times have been quoted as saying “dont do as I do, do as I say. ” The sad reality is that children are not miniature adults, They hear what adults say and definitely see what they do, Each are as equally impactful on their lives,

Ask yourself, “is it ever an acceptable time to give up on someone” “Is grace, as questioned in the book, giving people the room to be human as well as the space to make human mistakes” “Does mercy triumph over judgment” These questions, along with others, will challenge you while reading this work.
.really. The beginning moved slower than what I expected, Once the story picked up, it had me! Wrath is about Xavier King and Chastity Jefferies seeking love, Xavier can't accept his flaws are that harmful that everyone walks away, making his insecurities become magnified, Chastity is able to let go and begin healing from the scars left by the oh so public scandal in her parents marriage, but put her into one of her own.

Absolutely loved all of these characters!! Let me start by saying, Ill be needing a Sisley and Kareem prequel.
. . because there seems to be plenty to tell in that redemption story, The main characters back story played a vital role in the dynamics of Chastity and Xaviers relationship and I appreciated how the supporting characters we used to further enhance your understanding of their perspective and subsequent decision making.
I love how VCM did a spin on peoples use of scripture to support what they may innately want to do.
. . the notion that theres a scripture for everything good and bad was clearly shown, The ending took me by surprise, . . but it was delightful stray from the expected, Additional favorite points:

Bryce knowing and calling Xavier on his BS too often in stories like this, you find friends that border on being accomplices.
I appreciated that it was a clear depiction of how men MUST hold one another accountable and encourage each other to do better.


The underlying theme that its not how people see you, but how you see yourself, Xaviers self loathing did him more harm than anything, . . his negative thoughts were often the furthest thing from truth others saw/thought,

Overall another hit for Victoria Christopher Murray, . . think this may be my favorite so far in the seven deadly sins series, Pulls you in from the start

This couple moved way too fast, Unfortunately the woman Xavier loved the most, his mother, had abandoned him, His grandmother was abusive to him and all of that anger from the abuse built up in him, All he wanted was to get married so that another woman wouldnt leave him, but his anger made him a ticking time bomb.
I am disappointed though, I wish the other three books were coming out this year,. Xavier King is a man who has endured a lot over the years which has caused him to become a broken man.
Chastity is the typical girl who guards her heart and has focused on her career until she meets Xavier King.
The author has done a great job with penning this novel, This book is full of drama with twists that keep you wanting more, I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by her, .
