kelleyd 's review for:

The Fury by Alex Michaelides
4.0
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I became a big Alex Michaelides fan, like most people, after reading ‘The Silent Patient.’   So to say I was excited to read this book, would be an understatement.  
The thing I like most about his writing is he dumps you right into to fast paced, well, deception!   I also am the type of reader who enjoys having an unreliable narrator.  It keeps things interesting, don’t you think? 
Anyway, ‘The Fury’ was a tremendously enjoyable read.   I didn’t mind the slower parts as the chapters always ended with a bit of a twist.  And the last third of the book makes up for all the parts you might think are potentially dragging.  Isn’t it delicious to watch the character figure out exactly when things started to go wrong?
If you want a book you can read in a day and that will keep you entertained the whole way through, then ‘The Fury’  is for you! 

Thank you to NetGalley and Celadon Books for the digital Arc in exchange for my honest review!
