Catch Hold Of Fury (The Seven Deadly, #3) Constructed By Fisher Amelie In Print
on Fury (The Seven Deadly, #3)
fury took a sharp right hand turn in a direction I wasn't not at all expecting! I thought maybe it would have been focused elsewhere.
Oh how very wrong I was! Of course Fisher had a grander path for him in mind, My God that boy is a beast!
Out of thebooks in the series this is the least romancey of them, That wasn't a problem. I knew to expect a message of dogooding but I did not expect what the surrounding story would entail, I thought for sure Ethan would be up to no good getting into trouble and having to find his way out in a whole different scenario.
His trouble was good, and difficult to process, but not difficult at all, If that makes any sense, it probably doesn't, but it will if you read the book, This subject matter was not one that was easily stomached, but one that most definitely happens, I had a hard time reading because it was so utterly heartbreaking,
He showed that you always have a choice in the path your life takes, You can do miraculous things with the life you are given or toss it all alway out of revenge and anger, Ethan chose right and Finley was his driving force,
Not only was Ethan a hero for Finley, but he
was also a hero for so many others,
This book is the ultimate page turner! Oh the anxiety that forced those pages to go by so fast, Trying to speed read without missing any details in the process to get to the happy ending,
The only thing I was hoping for out of this book was a little more romance, But I guess there was just too much else going on,
I didn't like Greed but I'm sooooooo excited for this book!
Ethan I'm waiting for your crazy and angry mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stunning! Captivating! Heartbreaking!
Like many fans of Fisher Amelie and the Seven Deadly series, it feels I have been waiting forever for this book.
I will admit that I have stalked her fan page once, . . ortimes, to see if there was any news on the release date of Fury, I don't use the word "fan" here lightly, Ms. Amelie writes the kinds of books I LOVE! She tells about the human condition, She takes you on a journey along with her character's who are suffering some plight and through their journey of discovery you will learn something too.
Her insight is incredible. Her writing is fluid, engaging and powerful, Her word choice is not an after thought, It is clear that each one is chosen with a purpose, . . maximum impact.

Fury, or wrath specifically tackles the concept of great anger that expresses itself in a desire to punish someone that we feel has wronged us.
Anger is a consuming thing, a burning takeover,
It sets up shop in your heart and head and murders anything else attempting to make its way in, Life becomes obsessed with it, clouded with it, engrossed in it, You justify the feeling with delusions that you're owed retribution, You condone thoughts and vengeful acts, feeding yourself with the idea that it's warranted,
Warning Although this can be read as a standalone, slight spoiler ahead if you have not read Greed book
Ethan Moonsong was overcome with feelings of revenge.
His heart was broken and cold, turning harder by the day, He was becoming consumed with seeking revenge against Spencer Blackwell for stealing away the love of his life Caroline, He was drinking excessively, not working, and planning, . . a sick revolving door of daily activities,
One night, out drunk at the local bar, he runs into his high school friend Finley Dyer, whom he hadn't seen in years, And he doesn't want to see her now, Embarrassed by the fact that the whole town knows about his breakup and also by his drunkenness, he turns into a bit of a jerk, Clearly trying to push her away, But Finley who, as a highschooler had a bit of a crush on him, can't be pushed away, She sees a friend in need and doesn't get pushed around, Rather, she becomes pushy, making him eat, giving him coffee and making him talk and listen, She doesn't let him play victim to his circumstances,
"Life isn't fair, Life is far, very, very far from fair , Sometimes it slaps you so hard in the face you fall back, you hit the ground with a resounding thud, knocks the breath outta you, but it's how quickly you stand and fight for the life you want and how you forge that new path that defines you, Ethan," "nothing is so overwhelming, so dreadful, that it cannot be defeated.
"
Eventually, Finley Dyer's fiery spirit, unending, unconditional friendship, pulled Ethan from the depth of hell he found himself in, She saves him. I adored and respected her character so much, She was incredibly brave and strong, She tells it like it is, she pulls no punches, She realizes life is too short to be waisted,
"Don't you want forever with someone who burns for you the way you burn for her You deserve that just as much as she does.
"
Then she left,
Finley Dyer had her own secrets, her own pain to relieve, to be rid of, So she went to Vietnam to volunteer, to attempt to save herself, Fearing for her safety, Ethan soon followed, What he found was a travesty that brought back his fury tenfold,
Ethan Moonsong was a born warrior,
In order to seek revenge, Ethan gave up something in return, he gave up a piece of his soul, his selfworth, a little bit of respect other's had in him.
Because in seeking revenge, you have to disregard your beliefs and your conscience in order to carry out the things you would not normally do,
It is the storyline I am being purposefully vague about, I think less is more here, and you will gain so much by experiencing it as it unfolds.
I would classify this book as mature YA/NA for some strong language and violence, There is no sex, but it is beautifully romantic, . . that first kiss had me grinning and squealing!
I cannot say enough about this book and its beauty, The slow building romance friends to "lovers" was endearing, The writing spellbinding. The story heartbreaking.
ARC graciously provided in exchange for honest review!
sitelink Fury was much different than Vain and Greed, While each story covers serious issues, this book was much darker furious, if you will, See what I did there I'm completely hooked o this series,
Like I said, this series covers some serious issues and in Fury we cover human trafficking and the morality of vigilante justice, It is masterfully written. I found myself questioning my beliefs as I read, I was challenged from beginning to end, And on top of that, I was utterly taken by by Ethan and Finely,
I was surprised by how dark some parts of this book could be, but it was right, The story needed it. Ethan needed to go into that dark place before he could heal,
Fury will leave you feeling triumphant and exhausted, The myriad of emotions I felt was amazing, I loved it. I love Fisher Amelie.
.stars First, I did like this, It had a good message and pretty good characters, But I do not like the new covers, I loved the old ones I don't think the new ones truly show the awesomeness that is sitelinkVain and sitelinkGreed, The original of sitelinkFury at the end of bookwas stunning just Ethan Moonshine in his hoodie, It would have been an amazing cover so I'm sorry that that wasn't the one used,
I think this story is good but somehow I just didn't love it, I liked the tough conversations Fin and Ethan had to have and the struggles they encountered, I liked the grey areas of not quite right and not quite wrong, It was eye opening and I loved the info at the end,
I'm anxiously awaiting the next one, ed on: sitelinkAshes Books amp Bobs,
Fisher is one of my favorite authors and I've been slowly making my way through this series for the past several years.
I was pushed toward bumping this book up on my TBR thanks to the saveourchildren movement, I didn't realize this book tackled the tough topic of sex trafficking and I was eager to see how Fisher handled the subject in fiction, I'm grateful I read this book because it brought this horrible reality to life in an even bigger way,
This is a sensitive subject, but not one we should bury our heads in the sand about, despite how uncomfortable it makes us, Life is full of evil and when we ignore it, we are, . . I hesitate to say complicit, but we're certainly not making a difference, Small actions can lead to big change and together we can help, even by awakening others to this sad truth,
I think Fisher did a fabulous job of making this book realistic, but without making it too graphic or heartwrenching, Still, it tugs on one's heart and turns the stomach to imagine such vile things happening to our most innocent, To break up those hard feelings though, there were plenty of sweet moments of romance to make the subject matter less burdensome, I loved reading about Ethan and Finley and I couldn't wait to see how things might turn out for them,
The only real issue I had with the book was the simple writing and the repetitive nature of certain aspects of the story, Also, it took me about a month to read this book, Obviously, that's largely due to a lack of time, but also slightly to a lack of motivation, The book wasn't poorly written, but there were definitely sections that weren't as engaging as I needed them to be, I think the story could have benefitted from a bit of cutting,
Regardless, I think this is a hugely important book, especially in our current world, If you'd like to make a difference yourself, check out: sitelinkourrescue, org.
