FURY Excerpt:
I took a deep breath as my fingers found their purchase and pulled
out my keys. The key I needed somehow hit home and the lid sprang open, the
knives staring at me, daring me. I watched them, waited for them to tell me
what to do, but nothing came. They laid still, gleaming in the moonlight
waiting for me too, it seemed. I sat in the passenger side seat, one boot still
on the gravel, and made the first move. Raising a trembling hand toward the
temptation, my fingers felt the cool length of each blade.
The rage still burned in my veins and I felt myself sobering,
hesitating. No, I kept hearing. Pick them up, a voice
said, so I did. Their weight felt good in my hands, comfortable. I breathed
three breaths before gripping their handles and twirling them quickly in my
palms. Even drunk, I could slaughter anything that moved. I was made to
hunt. And hunt you shall, the voice urged.
I nodded and stood, shutting the passenger side door, tucking the
blades into the back of my jeans, and camouflaging them with my shirt. My boots
echoed with each step back toward the bar, heavy and dark like the night that
surrounded me, like the thoughts in my head.
The adrenaline seared through my body, heightening every nerve,
intensifying every sense. My heart pounded like a bass drum in my chest,
pressing painfully against my ribs. My skin burned with anticipation.
I reached for the door handle.
“Where do you think you’re going?” a voice whispered, startling
me.
I stopped, one hand on the handle. “Finley, go home,” I ordered
her.
She stood from her leaning position against the outside wall of
the bar, out of the shadows, and walked toward me. Her eyes seared through
me. She came to me, stood closely, the heat from her body enveloping me.
“No, I don’t think I will,” she told me, looking up into my eyes.
“At least not alone.”
She stood tenaciously, fearlessly. I noted how much taller she was
than Cricket and it was a little bit intimidating to me, like what she said was
going to happen whether or not I liked it. I respected her and I didn’t know
why. I stared at her hard, but she didn’t budge. No, instead, she
strengthened her own resolve, her jaw tightening with the decision and glared
back even harder. She said and did things with such righteous authority, I felt
powerless to her. I’d never felt that way before about a woman. It wasn’t pushy
or irrational, it was simply as it was going to be.
My eyes and face relaxed the moment I acquiesced. “Fine.”
Her body followed suit and she nodded once, grabbing my arm and
leading me toward my truck. Her hand reached into my jeans pocket, sending an
inexplicable electrical charge through me, which I promptly chose to
ignore, and yanked out my keys.
“Get in,” she ordered and I obeyed.
She threw herself into the driver’s side and slammed the door
shut, sticking the keys in the ignition and turning only once. The engine
started, daring not to further goad her. The stereo kicked on, belting
something indicative of the moment we were leaving behind us, full of bass and
a sharpness so edgy it echoed through my chest and head.
She shoved the truck in reverse, throwing her arm over the back of
the bench, and her stare found mine. It was a solid look, packed full with a
storm of unspoken words. Without breaking her gaze, she shifted into drive. She
held there for a moment, driving her disappointment in me deep down into my
soul before finally looking ahead to the end of the parking lot. I know
I’m toxic, Finley, I thought, but that didn’t stop my mouth from retching
awful thoughts.
“You have no reason to be pissed at me,” I told her, practically
begging her to speak.
She didn’t say a word as she pulled out onto the road with more
punch than the Finley I knew normally would have, turning toward the interstate.
I had no clue where she was taking us, but I wasn’t about to ask.
Just make her turn around, I thought. Tell her you won’t do anything.
I opened my mouth to speak but caught a glimpse of her hair
whipping about her determined face from the open windows and forgot what I was
going to say. I turned my gaze toward the windshield. The light from the
headlights exposing just enough of the road to make me nervous at the speed we
were traveling. One hand found the dash to steady myself.
“What’s wrong, Ethan?” she asked.
“Huh?” I asked, whipping my head her direction.
“Too fast for you?”
“No.”
“Liar,” she said, calling me out.
I wiped my palms down the thighs of my jeans. “Slow down,” I said,
swallowing.
“Oh, now you want to play it safe?” Her eyes narrowed. “You’re so
selfish, you know that?” she asked. I was taken aback. She’d never talked to me
like that.
She leisurely drove across lanes as if traveling more than a
hundred miles per hour was completely normal.
“What?” I demanded, feeling alert. The adrenaline had sobered me
quickly.
“You’re selfish. And stupid. Let’s not forget stupid.”
My blood boiled. “Whatever, Finley.”
“Whatever, Finley,” she mocked. “Don’t you know I’m suffering?
That I’m the only person in the world who suffers? Can’t you see that I’m
determined to be foolish, Finley?”
“What do you know of suffering?” I asked, incensed.
Wide eyes met mine and her jaw clenched as she pulled over,
slamming us to a stop. Her hair flew forward from the force before settling
onto her chest and shoulders.
“I know more about suffering than you could ever possibly imagine.
You don’t know shit! So you got your heart broken. So what! There are worse
things, you know. There are things out there that would curl your toes to know
about, Ethan.”
FURY Synopsis:
Revenge is an euphoric thing. Trust me on this. Nothing compares to the release you get when you ruin someone’s life. When they’ve stolen important things. Things that didn’t belong to them. Things I revel in making them pay for.
What? Have I offended you? I’m not here to appeal to your delicate senses. I have no intention of placating your wishes or living within your personal belief system nor do I care if you hate me. And you will hate me. Because I’m a brutal, savage, cold-blooded murderer and I’m here for my revenge.
I’m Ethan Moonsong...And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most sacrificing man to the most feared and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Part 3 in an ongoing series but can be read as a standalone
My Fury Review ...
First off. I frickin' love Fisher Amelie. I have LOVED every single book she has written. Her books have such heart and meanings within them.
Oh! Ethan Moonsong. Whom we first meet in Greed (book #2 in this series). In Greed he gets heartbroken and develops loads of rage and fury that he doesn't know how to channel or get rid of. This book is written in a way that it can be read as a standalone but it's such a great series that I recommend reading the whole series so you get a true vibe on all the raw emotions and sins that we all have to deal with.
"I think- No, I know you're lying. Like I said before, you're a terrible liar. I think you've lied so often about wanting to be left alone, though, that you've convinced your head it's the truth, but you can't convince the heart, Ethan. You know why? Because the heart can't ever be lied to, and your beats the loneliest I've ever heard."
As Ethan is licking his wounds he runs into someone from school who used to have a crush on him, Finley Dyer. Instantly this reunion is exposing emotions he's not sure how to deal with. But he does know even though he is a bit confused he needs and wants this new found friendship with Finley.
"A broken heart is terrible, Ethan. I know it's terrible, but its also a part of being human. You're allowed to be tossed about in love sometimes. It sucks but it's not the end of the freaking world. It's not worth a homicide conviction."
Finley quickly inserts herself into Ethan's life causing them to be instant best friends. Even though this friendship mean a lot to both of the Finley had already committed to a volunteer project in Vietnam. At first she is tight lipped about the reason why she is going as she wants to keep her past from Ethan. The last thing she wants is Ethan's pity.
"Ethan, you can choose to hope or you can choose to fear. Fear is a crippling disease. It takes over and paralyzes. Hope bolsters, motivates. People who fear, die. People who hope, live. Even in death they live."
As soon as she's gone Ethan realizes that he wants so much more from Finley then he originally wanted.
"A man doesn't quit the drinkin' caused by one woman unless there's another worth stopping for."
So now he goes to meet with Finley to help and protect her any way he can knowing that her trip is much more dangerous than she let on.
"That's just it, Fin. I'm not afraid of anything, not even death, but you? You I'm afraid of."
Finley at first is livid that Ethan is there but then realizes that she needs Ethan just as much as he needs her.
"This love is reserved for nothing but adoration, intense attraction, for a different, singular type of devotion. This love I feel for you I feel because I love you just as you are and not for what you can give me. It's an unselfish love. And oh my God but I love you, Fin. So, so much."
Ethan is quickly thrown into the reality of this situation and his emotions get convoluted causing him to take matters into his own hands.
"I was so desperate to keep you that I lost you. If someone gives themselves to you freely, you just have to accept the gift."
Holy Shit balls! Did Ethan take things to an extreme. As I was reading it my jaw was almost to the floor. I was so shocked how extreme he went at times but you get to understand the torment that he is is struggling with. As with all of Fisher Amelie's books they are so beautiful, raw and real with such potent messages. There is such beauty within these sins for these characters. Ethan and Finley have such demons but their love for one another is the reward at the end of that dark tunnel. It was great book and is an amazing series. Very recommended.
4 Full of Rage Thumbs up!
