Fury Unleashed

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review. “I never had a good thing before…” “…Until now.” First Impressions Fury Unleashed is a story that completely blew me away and my expectations of this book went out the window on this one. I have heard so many great things about this one here and I have had this book on my kindle for quite a while now and yes I was first drawn to this book due to the cover and I am in love with it. This cover is a work of art especially with it being a self-published work so bravo to this author. But the story inside is just as powerful as the cover evokes. I read this in less than two hours!! A 400 pages book….well let me tell you, that means I truly loved it. This is a kick-ass romance that won my heart and is the type of enemies to lovers type of setup that worked for me completely and you all probably know by now how picky I am about that trope and it doesn’t always work for me, but my heart was won over within the first two chapters. I do term this a mythological fantasy though, not a UF or a PNR at all, and those that read this will know what I mean by that. But I was impressed with this book as a whole and can’t wait to delve more into this author’s writing. He might believe he was all darkness, but she saw the good in him, the honor. Summary The story sets off with our hero, who is an assassin and a fallen angel and has been in both the worlds of heaven and hell and survived and created his own talents to survive. But then the archangel Gabriel who he once called friend, calls upon him to kill a demon bounty hunter, and then he will have his wings again. But Maccus isn’t going to take Gabriel’s word for it, he goes out to investigate this mysterious woman that he is to kill. Our badass bounty hunter, Morrigan, has no choice in what she does. She sealed a deal with Lucifer to save her sister and is contracted with him to do his demands. But he offers her a deal, kill Maccus, and she will be free from him. But when Maccus comes to her aid, Maccus and Morrigan realize that their meeting is no coincidence nor is they both being contracted to kill each other by the heads of the individual parties of heaven and hell. Both Maccus and Morrigan have explosive chemistry and instantly act upon their desire for each other, but despite the passion, there is something deeper surfacing between them and they are determined to get to the bottom of the subplots against them. But will Morrigan and Maccus find a way out of this challenging conflict or will they have no choice but abandon the love they have for each other…. What I Loved Fury Unleashed is a story that bowled me over in all of the best of ways. I was so swept away by this romance and it worked for me in so many ways. First off the characters were so tangible and breathed new life in this reader. I was so invested behind both Maccus and Morrigan just on an individual level. Maccus you can tell has been through the extremes with losing his wings and having to develop certain abilities as he was forced into hell and had to learn to survive. And then we have Morrigan, who traded herself in the contract for the life of her sister. While she can be badass, she has these sweet vulnerabilities that made her seem so relatable. The relationship between Morrigan and Maccus is explosive from the beginning, but I also respected that they were more curious about each other and were intelligent enough to realize that there was much more going on than just a contract for them to kill each other. They just didn’t take these higher beings at their word. And when it came down to it, they were willing to show the depth of their love for each other and what commitment is displayed in this story. I just ate it all up and just wanted more. This romance was such an intricately layered story that offers depths and surprises along the way that you won’t be disappointed with. What I Struggled With Hardly anything….there were a LOT of sex scenes though. So might not work for everyone. Overall View Fury Unleashed was a story of sacrifice, inner depths of transformation of character, and an explorative journey into the realm of love and desire that will capture the reader’s attention in an unforgettable way!

Fallen Angel Assassin? Check. Hells best bounty hunter? Check. Physical attraction off the chart? Check. Pitted against each other by each side? Check Check! Maccus is the best at what he does. With a loose collection of like-minded fallen angels he created the Brotherhood. Now his former friend, the Archangel Gabriel (yes that one!) has ordered him off a demon of Hell. Um maybe not so much a Demon herself, Morrigan just works for the head honcho of Hell, thank you very much! Morrigan made the ultimate sacrifice to save her sister. But she has years to go on the deal she made with the devil. And we know how good he is at stacking those in his favour! But if she kills Maccus, he'll burn said deal and she'll be free and clear to claim back her life. Easy, right? Morrigan is not a demon or evil. She just got suckered into a very tight corner and she does her best to retain as much of her former life as she can. Maccus is almost 100% Neanderthal LOL. He is beyond Alpha and you really do expect him to just carry Morrigan back to his cave sometimes! But he has a code of honour and once he and Morrigan realise they are being pitted against each other, they make a very blood thirsty but motivated team. Whilst the passion between them runs hot, the best thing for this couple is the trust they build in the other. I'm so going to enjoy learning all about the other members of the Brotherhood!
