civilization of mindless drones, only those with fury can survive.
On the same day each year Josephine Luquet wakes naked, shivering and covered
in blood that is not her own. Under the cold gaze of the blood moon she is
someone else entirely, but when dawn breaks her memories vanish and she is left
with only an icy horror, a burning fury. Amid a sea of ‘drones’, she alone
hasn’t been cured.
Then she meets Luke. He isn’t like the other drones. With secrets behind his
eyes, he is the only one determined to help Josephine discover the truth before
the next blood moon rises.
But time is running out. Is Luke willing to risk his life to be near her? Does
he truly understand what violence she is capable of?
Raw and full of passion, Fury is a story of love in a dystopian world, and how
much we are willing to forgive in the struggle to remember our humanity.

My Review:
in the blog Tour for ‘Limerence’ by Charlotte McConaghy. I read the book description
and immediately wanted to sign up. But since ‘Limerence’ is the third book in
the series and I haven’t read the previous books I thought I wouldn’t be able
to be a part of the tour. Thankfully there was an option to read all three the
books in the series. So as fast as I could I signed up and when I received the
book I started reading the first book ‘Fury’ as fast as I could.
Well I can tell you one thing about this book: ITS AMAZING!! Really.. This book
is so good I don’t get why there aren’t movies being made about this one. From
the moment I started reading I was completely hooked. ‘Fury’ is written in a
very fascinating way. The story alters between the point of views of the three
main characters and the story goes from a year ago to the present. This sounds
confusing but really wasn’t confusing at all. This made this book all the more
interesting, intriguing and completely addicting.
‘Fury’ is the story of a young woman called Josephine who is living in a world
of people who have had the ‘cure’, and aren’t able to feel anger anymore. Josephine
never had the cure and she is living with a terrible secret. She has been alone
for years and doesn’t interact with many people. That is until Luke starts
talking with her. Luke is gorgeous, kind and really caring. He seems to really
want to get to know Josephine. But life is hard and there is a lot wrong in the
world.
Man, I loved these two characters. Josephine was so strong and I really admired
her. She had been through so much and I think she was really brave. And Luke..
Sigh.. I loved that Guy. Seriously.. I developed a huge crush on Luke while
reading this book. He was just so kind and caring. The romance and chemistry between
Josephine and Luke was really fun to read about and I was totally hooked to
every page.
This book gets a huge 5 star rating from me. I loved every single word and
really couldn’t put it down. Although a lot is revealed in the end, there is
still a lot we don’t know so I can’t wait to start reading the next book.
‘Fury’ is definitely a new favorite for me.

This does sound really good. I hadn't heard of the books before, but you definitely have my attention with your review of the first book. Hopefully the rest will be just as good!

I'm so glad you loved this! I hope you love the other two just as much!
Thanks Candace. It was a great book. I love this series so far. 😉
This sounds awesome!! When you said it switches from the past to present, all I can think about is how Once Upon A Time does that and I love it!! You know, this is the second review I'd read in about three minutes where I just have to jump on Amazon and grab the first book in the series because I'm so excited!! Thank you!!
That's awesome Angel. You definitely need to get this book, because it's soooooo good. I really can't believe this book isn't more popular already.. It definitely is one of the best series I read.
