he second in the Afterlife Incorporated series, Fury's Choice takes shortly after Fury's Bridge but Alec and Selene move into secondary roles and the book focuses on the a new couple as well as continuing to move the idea of the gods and goddesses "coming out of the closet" so to speak and re-integrating/re-connecting with modern humanity. Tisera (Tis) is the really scary Fury (and Furies are pretty scary as a general rule), but she's beginning to burn out from meting out punishment and vengeance for the worst of crimes and may be considering allowing herself to fade away. Concerned, Zed tries to keep her distracted by putting her serious, logical and legal mind to work in nailing down a new set of rules or contract for all the gods that will govern how and when they an interact with humanity. Between riding herd on all the different factions of gods, she continues with her main role as a Fury and comes across Kera, a jaded woman with a dark past and little use for gods, who is trying to set things right and seek her own kind of justice. 

I think I liked Fury's Choice even more than Fury's Bridge - Tis and Kera are more complex than Alec and Selene with some pretty heavy backstories that make their characters a bit darker and intriguing. There's a great chemistry between the two and I really did enjoy the push and pull of their relationship. The story itself moves along at a good pace and Willows writing is excellent. Like the first book, there's a ton of secondary characters and I enjoyed the heck out doing more digging into more info on the different gods, goddesses, demigods, etc. The last bit of the book is a bit of a tease of what's next - and I'm very much looking forward to the next in the series which will be featuring Meg, the third Fury sister.

Alex (They/Them)

Fury Tisera Graves needs a break. She wants a normal life, but she can’t see a way out of Afterlife. When the gods begin running marketing campaigns in an effort to woo followers, she steps in to keep them in line, although she really just wants to get away from it all. Playgirl philanthropist Kera Espinosa made a nearly fatal mistake, and now she’s trying to make up for it by doing good work around the world. She’s got no time for the gods, who don’t do nearly enough. And she’s still searching for the people who nearly destroyed her. When she finds them, she’s prepared to sacrifice it all to make them pay. When it comes time for both women to choose, will they find love or destruction?
