🏝️I was so excited to be transported to a remote Greek isle in Alex Michaelides latest thriller, “The Fury”. We start off by being introduced to our unreliable narrator, Elliot, who takes us on a crazy journey with Lana, an ex-movie star, and her privileged friends.
I loved the characters, especially Lana and Elliot. Honestly, the two of them are kind of made for one another in my mind. I also really enjoy reading books with hot mess characters, and I’d classify these as bat shit cray 🫠
The setting was perfect and once I found out what “the fury” was 🤩🤩🤩 yes, Alex! So good. Also, murders on a remote island, or any desolate location, are my cup of tea.
Lastly, the unreliable narrator was so good. Elliot read honestly, he didn’t have it all together and I felt that through the pages.
I only rated this 4.5 stars because I liked Silent Patient and The Maidens better, and I needed that little differentiator.
