My Review:
4 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Heart-Wrenching, Mystery, Romance, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen, Werewolves, Witches--
Taya knows something is off, but never expected it to be that her beloved twin brother Cord is dead. Taya realizes that there is more going on to the story, that Cord was murdered researching a crime in the werewolf community. Taya is determined to uncover the truth and avenge her brother, while at the same time train to be the next Alpha of her pack in Cord's spot.
I love everything werewolf- it is a fact, I will read anything I can get my hands on that deals with werewolves (I mean really, who can resist the mate bond?). So when I saw the cover for Shades of Fury I was instantly intrigued by the book, the synopsis hooked me for sure. I ended up reading this in one day because it was so easy to get lost in the story, the writing was very approachable and the plot pacing was just about perfect. There was a little bit of everything in the story, be it action, danger, intrigue, pack politics, witches, spells, battles, mystery and a blooming romance that I can't wait to have more of.
I did find it a little disconcerting at how touchy-feely Taya and her best friend Auggie were, it felt like it was a little more than just friends when the book began, and I was afraid this was going to turn into a love triangle- I am happy to report that this is not even a little bit a love triangle (which makes me happy!). I forgave the touching since I am not a toucher (so maybe this is normal BFF behavior) and they are wolves who like touch in general. And while I mention that there is romance in the book, it was not the main point of the story, just a an interesting tidbit that has the potential to grow into something wonderful and possibly a giant conflict- but that will be in another book.
I listened to this on audio and I am super picky about my narrators. I am happy to report the narrator was an absolutely perfect choice to narrate the story as well as bring Taya to life. She had emotion and personality, I felt like with the mix of writing and the narration, Taya became a real person that I could understand and relate to. She also did a good job of making distinct voices for the other characters as well, and I would love to listen to the rest of the books in the series narrated by her.
I can't believe the ending, what a way to end abruptly and make me need more! This was as cliffhanger as an ending can get, with a big surprise dropped and the story ended. I have so many questions and I really, really need the next book. I found Shades of Fury to be fast paced and engaging and I loved the werewolf dynamic (werewolves are my favorite!) and world created. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes paranormal action stories with mystery and romance.
