Being immortal doesn’t mean you can’t die. It just means you’re damn hard to kill. When Alexei Medvedev joined the Forgotten Brotherhood — paranormals hired to assassinate other paranormals — he knew it wouldn’t be a cake walk. But his next target is one of Death’s own Reapers gone rogue. For the first time since he started this gig, “damn hard to kill” feels more like “damn near impossible.” Tracking Cassie Dobbs brings him to a remote bar in small-town Alaska, where this hot-as-hell Reaper is casually serving drinks, as if she doesn’t have a bounty on her head from Death himself. Alexei is dangerously intrigued. Everyone in the Brotherhood knows the first rule: don’t fall for your target. But Alexei soon has bigger problems to face than an unexpected attraction. They only send assassins after those who deserve to die…or so he’s been made to believe. Now that he’s met Cassie, though, he’s not so sure. What if everything he’s been told is a lie, and the person he’s been sent to kill is the only one who knows the truth? Each book in the Fury Unleashed series is STANDALONE: * Fury Unleashed * Arctic Bite

After reading the first book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series ‘Fury Unleashed’ I knew this was a book I also wanted to read. Although this is book two of the series, it can easily be read as a standalone. And don’t you just love that cover?

In ‘Arctic Bite’ we meet Alexei and Cassie. Alexei is part of the Forgotten Brotherhood, a group of paranormals hired to assassinate other paranormals. On his recent case he has to find and kill Cassie. But from the moment Alexei sees Cassie, he knows he isn’t going to kill her. There is something about her that makes him love her right from the start. But Cassie isn’t a regular woman. She has secrets of her own, and although they both feel an instant attraction maybe they aren’t meant to be more than strangers.

‘Arctic Bite’ was definitely a book I enjoyed. Although I rarely read fantasy/ paranormal books, this one was really fun. I loved the paranormal aspects just as much as in the first book. The setting of this book is unlike any other book I read. And I loved the world, and the different creatures. It sure is fun to learn about this world.

The romance between Alexei and Cassie was really fun to read. Their chemistry is flying of the pages. And although I found the ‘instant’ love a little too much at times, I definitely enjoyed reading about their story. I especially loved how Alexei was this big, tough as nails, badass.. but was really sweet to Cassie right from the start.

Their where also plenty of thrilling moments in this book. Their where definitely less than in the first book, but it still kept me sitting on the edge of my seat.

‘Arctic Bite’ was a very fun read and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. If you’re looking for a fun, romantic, sexy, paranormal, thrilling read.. than this series is definitely for you.

Check out my review of the first book in this series:

Once upon a time N.J. had the idea that she would like to quit her job at the bookstore, sell everything she owned, leave her hometown, and write romance novels in a place where no one knew her. And she did. Two years later, she went back to the bookstore and her hometown and settled in for another seven years. One day she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first erotic romance novel and life would never be the same. N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.
