Early Charlaine Harris

Doesn’t quite have the polish of Sookie Stackhouse novels, but is entertaining. A little too awkward in blending southern charm and manners with crime.

Powerful story

Narration was perfect.
There were moments so vividly told that I didn’t think I could continue the story. Few writers make me gasp.

Early Charlaine Harris Novel Set in the South

What made the experience of listening to A Secret Rage the most enjoyable?

The narrative was well-done: expressive & engaging

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction

Any additional comments?

Thought the plot was "draggy" compared to other books by this author. I've especially enjoyed reading the Lily Bard books. In comparison, this book was less intriguing.

Trademark Charlaine Harris

There is something about the way Charlaine Harris develops the character, and Johanna Parker's delivery, that quickly endears the character to the reader. No wonder, then, that when the drama and the tragedy unfold, you cannot help but empathize with the heroine. It pierced my soul.

My only complaint is that this was never made into a series. Oh, and the references to Jane Austen were a welcome touch!

Another good book by Charlaine Harris

I know alot of people are critical of some of her works - no one can hit it out of the park everytime. But in every instance, I have loved her books. She is a very versatile writer.
Love Lily B and Sookie for sure.

Well written and entertaining

I love the style of Charmaine Harris’s writing. She’s clear and doesn’t overdosed scenes. I also like her characters. I’ve enjoyed all of her books.

Double standards

I liked that the author showed how the women needed to become empowered by taking their power back from the assailant in order to get over their rapes & beatings. The author did an excellent job of showing how this was something that the men were quite uncomfortable with.

Love Charlaine!

I enjoyed the book and do not think Charlaine Harris could write a book that I did not enjoy. However, it is not as strong a story as Sookie Series or Harper Connelly Series.
