A Secret Rage

by Charlaine Harris

I was drawn to this novel because of the character as a successful New York City model, who is now studying to become a writer. This was my appeal to this book. Along the way I ran into a criminal part of the book, and this kept the book very interesting.

I love thrillers, and A Secret Rage did not disappoint. I love the character of Nickie Callahan who is smart, and can move mountains if she needs to. She’s a confident woman. I also liked the friendship she shared with her best friend. This is a thriller, but a friendship novel, too.

The rape scene in the movie is violent, but was a reality check since rape is a vicious crime, and there are a lot of women who have been assaulted in this way. Of course Nickie has to take matters into her own hands to stop the violent crimes taking over Knolls, Tennesse, as a serial killer is on the loose.

A Secret Rage is filled with plenty of tension and mystery, and I was captivated by every page, waiting to find out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend it to readers who are thinking about a change in careers, or like myself, are interested in other views on modeling and writing. This is definitely a book worth reading and Charlaine Harris’ name will definitely be added to my list of favorite authors. Read A Secret Rage and get taken into a very powerful book where crime has its own name.
