Full of Fury is the story of Gigi,
Xavier’s vindictive ex-wife. According to the author, this is not the sequel,
but rather a behind-the-scenes look of the first book from another’s
perspective (Gigi.) Interesting!
“The cage
is my safe place. The metal bars contain me. My anger. My hatred.” (6) Did we
happen to mention that Gigi is an exotic dancer in her ex-husband’s Las Vegas
club?
Her words
are full of hate and venom toward Xavier. Hell hath no fury, right? But there
is an undertone of regret and longing behind those vicious words. Perhaps she
still loves Xavier and secretly wanted the family they never had?
Gigi is
definitely the wild child, too wild for sweet, innocent Lila, whom she tries to
corrupt and sabotage, especially with her blooming relationship with Xavier. Although
Gigi can be horrible, the reader still manages to sympathize for her once you
realize the reasoning behind her behavior, once you hear her side of the story.
This story
was good, but I felt like I was re-reading the same story because of the recap
of Full of Fire. I guess I would’ve
preferred more of a sequel. Also, I kind of found Gigi’s obsession with Lila
and Xavier to be exhausting, and I wonder if her story was even worth being
told, even in a short novella.
All in
all, this was an okay read.
My rating: 3 stars
