Outrage (Faith McMann Trilogy, #2)

by T.R. Ragan

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

The happy life Faith McMann knew as a wife, mother, and teacher was destroyed when vicious criminals murdered her husband, kidnapped her children, and left her for dead. After paralyzing grief, fear, and despair, there was nothing left for her to feel…except fury. But striking a staggering blow against a brutal ring of human traffickers was just the beginning of her uphill battle.

Though her daughter remains missing and her son is lost in the wilderness, Faith’s relentless efforts have reunited some children with their families. They’ve also made her and the rest of her family the targets of a sadistic crime boss. But Faith has learned plenty about survival in the lawless underworld she’s storming. And she’s forged an unbreakable bond with two no-holds-barred allies in the war against evil. As they dodge assassins and take down predators, Faith travels deeper into the heart of darkness, determined to rescue her children at any cost.

Reviews

Okay I'm reviewing both Furious and Outrage together because I just don't have enough proper words to adequately review them both separately. No spoilers. These are intense books. Human trafficking, sex slavery, violence - these books don't shy away from the hard topics. They are not overly explicit but they do adequately relate these issues. Faith is an extremely strong woman. She is hardened by the loss of her children but she uses the anger she feels to fuel not only her determination to get her kids back, but to fight all injustices against children. The more she discovers about the sex and human trafficking industries, the more she commits herself to exposing these worlds to society at large.

I really like Faith's family. Her parents and siblings are extremely supportive of Faith and her campaign to find her children. They are all clearly very close and it's nice to see them working together in what are obviously difficult circumstances. Beast and Rage fit into the group well and bring their own unique brand of justice. The use of multiple POV's gives a deeper insight into the industries and the emotions and feelings everyone is facing.

The only thing I wish I had known before I started reading was that Wrath isn't out. I kept seeing it on Amazon and didn't realise it was up for preorder, not sale and I'm kind of dying waiting. Yeah #firstworldproblems but man - I really need to know how it ends, cliffhangers suck. At least I didn't start this series earlier - like when Furious first came out, or Outrage - I only have ten days, so I guess I'm better off than most.
