Magical investigator Marissa 'Riss' Holloway has her hands full. Not only are Fury politics threatening her family, but Riss can't do anything to help since she has her plate full trying to hunt down an arcane serial killer who has somehow managed to kill three Catshifters despite the fact that, with 99 lives, 'Cats' are nearly immortal. And to make matters worse, the investigation is hitting pretty close to home because the common link to the murders involves a close friend, and one of the pote...more

This is the second book in her "Shades of Fury" series. I loved the first book and I love this one even more. I have already started her third entry to the series, so good was this second book.
KM creates wonderful, diverse, surprising and noticeably filled out characters. Her vision of an alternate reality is slowly being revealed, as she takes us through the trials and travails, politics and violence, love and hate in her alternate vision of Boston, a city I know fairly well.
Her plotting is quite beautiful and has a magnetic character to it. I want to know more about these people. I care about the people whom she brings to us so well. Further, her plotting skills make it clear what the next book will likely be about. That is clear in this volume, at least. Whether it will hold true for the continuing series remains to be seen. I find it a good choice that she resists the temptation to flesh out two competing plots in the same book. Rather, she teases the reader about the plot of the story that is in the background of this story. I don't think this is easy to do, nor do I know of many writers who can do this with such seductive skill. Like some of her arcane characters, Ms MacKenzie is a sublime, superb seductress.
Since I don't summarize plots I will only say this about the plot of this book; it is about the developing of arcane and conventional science, especially in the medical field. This is a nice parallel to what is happening in our reality with the slow merging of conventional medicine with alternative healing methods and quantum reality.
The book is also about justice. Riss Hollaway is the Chief Magical Investigator for the Boston Police Department. So, in another way, our author here again parallels our reality where we are still trying to make the distribution of justice to be equal for ALL citizens, regardless of race, creed, color, etc.
All in all I will recommend this book highly and it can stand alone. Reading the first book in the series, "Red Hot Fury," will serve to deepen the reader's appreciation of certain aspect of this book/plot.
I don't often give a 2nd volume five stars; my style with any series I start to read is to get to the 3rd book. In this case, I think this is already a winning series, worthy of the reader's time.(less)

I want to let out the complaints first ... It's FRUSTRATING for me as a reader, when I feel that the identity of the serial killer is so glaringly obvious but neither Riss, Scott, or the rest of the MCU (Magical Crime Unit) can see it. I guess the identity from million miles away. I mean, the key is in the title, right? Green Eyed Envy. (view spoiler). That is the reason why this book doesn't get the exact 4-stars rating.

Aside from that, I really, REALLY enjoy this second book. I think the writing is much more smooth, and it flows really nicely. The world building and information about the terms used are better. I remember being confused about 'weps' in the first book, for example, and here it is described that weps are magically enhanced weapons.

Riss is sassy and fun (love her inner thoughts). She totally has the attitude I enjoy! I love it when she goes undercover as Harper's wedding planner, because her personality must be tone down (she cannot go Rage in the middle of taking care of those female bitches, right? *lol*) but at the same time, the way she handles the fighting families of Cats and Hounds is delightful.

I like her relationship with Scott and Trinity (her partner in MCU). I appreciate how the book doesn't go with the "lone heroine" plots that I sometimes find in urban fantasy series -- how the heroine must do everything alone because it's her responsibility. In here, Riss doesn't do that. She has her MCU detectives helping her, she has Scott and Trinity -- and she also asks helps from her little brother, Mac. It's a team effort, though Riss CAN kick ass when she's alone too. I wish Mac has more scenes, though, I like that guy!! It's awesome to see Cory fledges for the first time as Fury -- it will be exciting to see how Riss mentors her niece.

The book also continues the muddy and complicated politic problems of the Furies, as the aftermath of book one. I think it's a plot that will keep going even in the next book, since it is nowhere resolved in this one.

Will definitely read the next book.(less)

I'll admit that what led me to read Kasey's first book was the knowledge that she was a local author and I just had to give her books a try! And they're really pretty good. Much different from my normal "save the world" urban fantasy books. There's still problems Riss has to deal with, but they tend to be more personal. And there's still lives at stake, just not the fate of humanity or supernatural well, sort of...

This time the supernaturals at risk of dying by a possible serial killer, are the ex-lovers of Harper. And they date back from high school. Someone is focusing on the old lovers, not so much the current one. So things are intense, Riss and her team go undercover to try to find out who the bad guy is, all while trying to plan a wedding! Won't say whose either! But the families of both the bride and groom are not at all pleased with the match, which just gives Riss a helluva lot of suspects to look at.

It doesn't help either knowing the Scott had a one-time fling with Harper. Will the killer mark Scott as someone to be killed? Does the killer know about the fling to begin with, since as far as Riss knows, she is the only one not directly involved in the relationship who knew about it.

Green-Eyed Envy was a well told book. Besides the ultimate trying to find the bad guy situation, Riss also has family drama to deal with. And in more than 1 dose. There's definite story potential there that will likely take place in future books, now was just the starting up of future problems.

Riss is a fun character to know. She's sassy and witty. She's not a diva or girly girl. She's got edge. Like most UF heroines, but of course the true UF reader can see the different flavors the heroine has. Even if qualities are similar to other heroines, they always tend to shine in their own light. To me at least!

There wasn't a whole lot of romance in this one, there was a lot of romantic tension and buildup. Riss and Scott are getting back into their relationship from before and seem to be easing into it, so there's no hot and heavy love to see, but there's still love between the two.

I can't wait to see where else the storyline will go with Riss, Scott and the others. The ending was good. After awhile I so totally nailed the killer before the big reveal. And there was still a nice little calm ending--can't quite say HEA since the story ain't over yet--for the characters. Got a chuckle out of me!

After thwarting another Fury's evil plot to take over the Sisterhood and start a war between the races, both Arcane and Mundane, Marissa gained the respect she deserves from the Boston PD. Not only does she finally have a partner, but she is also head of the new Magical Crimes Unit. Their caseload has been relatively easy, at least until male Cat shapeshifters started turning up murdered despite their ninety-nine lives. Aside from their species, one other thing ties the victims together, they were all former lovers of Special Agent Harper Cruz. Considering Riss's better half Scott had his own romp with her back in the day, this case is hitting quite close to home for her. Despite the affair being relatively unknown, Riss knows it's only a matter of time before that well kept secret comes to light, and Scott is placed in the killer's cross-hairs.

I really loved Riss's character in the first installment. She was just so fierce and sassy and not a little bad-ass. However, in Green-Eyed Envy it is almost like she has been tamed down to a kitten rather than a Fury who should be feared. I just didn't get the change in behavior, and honestly I was a little disappointed. She was very secretive and kept important things to herself out of guilt and embarrassment, whereas the old Riss would have just spoke her mind. Basically that spark of passion that really drew me to her was all but burned out. I'm hoping the original Riss comes back, rather than the watered down version seen in this installment.

Since their reconciliation in the previous installment, the awesome sexual tension established between them Riss and Scott has pretty much vanished. I had been hoping to see plenty of smexy time between them. But alas, their interactions stayed more in the affectionate category rather than the inferno I would have liked to have seen. Perhaps that could be because of the issues they were dealing with having to stop a the murderer, and Riss's fear at Scott getting hurt. But honestly, I doubt it as deadly threats didn't stop them before.

Things this time around were much more sedate than the first installment, from the romance, to the overall plot, to even Riss's character herself. Instead of being a gritty and raw treat, Green-Eyed Envy was decidedly much more fluffy. In fact, the whole plot centered around a wild goose chase that was rather unnecessary when it was blatantly obvious who the culprit was from early on. That being said, despite my frustrations with this installment, I still think this is a pretty solid series. I'm actually pretty excited about the next installment as the subplot in this one hinted at a huge political mess in the middle of the Sisterhood, which should prove to be interesting at the very least.

After preventing another war between the arcanes and the mundanes, Riss has returned to her job as Boston's Chief Magical Investigator. It seems the dead bodies of Bastai, shapreshifters who are also cats, are beginning to be discovered around the city. What makes this so unusual is that cats have 99 lives and therefore, are not likely to be killed. So, who has managed to cause these murders?

It seems that one common thread among all of the victims is that they were the exes of FBI Agent Harper Cruz and one night stand of Riss' boyfriend, Scott Murphy. When Harper is brought in to identify one of the victims, Riss and Scott discover that she is engaged to none other than Scott's stuck up cousin, Penn Banoub. Yea, the very Banoub that had snubbed Scott's mother for marrying his father. Oh and let's complicate matters a little more by stating that interspecies marriage is hardly tolerated (Ha! where have we seen this before?). "Hey Ma! Guess whose coming to dinner?"

Harper is insistent upon working with Riss on these murders and Marissa is no dummy. She knows that Scott may be targeted by the serial killer because he and Harper once slept together. So, Harper constructs a unique plan to use Marissa as her wedding planner under the guise of Sierra Nieves, wedding planner to the stars. This way she can get close enough to both families to ferret out any problems as well as check on portential other victims.

If all of this is not enough, Marissa's commatose grandmother, Nan has reawaken and called out one of the Fury edlers. She refuses to see Marissa's mother (her daughter) and is acting strange. Additionally, sister furies are attacking Marissa and her family. Not to mention that the Harpies are having some problems of their own. Life has just become complicated for Marissa and the gang.

The characters in this second installment are quite a bit more interesting. Additionally, the plot has many unique twists and turns. However, I find that the writing still does not flow as fluidly as I would have desired. It is not clean cut and clear; so, I had to reread various sections to make sure I got the gist of the message the author was attempting to convey. I will confess that this did interfere with my reading enjoyment at times.

While the story resolved the problem with the serial killer, the issues with the fury attacks and Nan's awakenening from the comma is left as a cliffhanger. I for one do not mind a cliffhanger as long as it is done cleverly and Ms. Mackenzie accomplished this. I doubt that this series will ever be a favorite of mine; however, it is entertaining. (less)

But as the wedding date approaches, someone is knocking off Harper’s old boyfriends. Not only is this troubling in itself, but Riss has a very personal reason to be worried as the murder spree continues: Scott had a fling with Harper while he and Riss were broken up, and if the killer knows, Scott could be the next target.

Green-Eyed Envy is rife with red herrings. Suspects are numerous. You’ll probably suspect half the characters in the book at various times — some of them more than once. I did realize the culprit was scum long before Riss did, but I couldn’t be sure if he or she was murderous scum or just the regular sort.

A subplot deals with family issues and intra-Fury politics; Riss’s grandmother has awakened from her coma but isn’t acting quite like herself, and Riss’s mother thinks there’s something fishy going on. It’s great — and far too unusual in urban fantasy — to see a heroine with a loving, supportive, kick-butt mother. This storyline also leads to what is perhaps the most awesome moment in the whole book, involving Riss’s niece Cori. This plotline appears to be setting the stage for the third Shades of Fury novel.

Another subplot concerns the deepening commitment between Riss and Scott. Riss realizes that the relationship is getting serious, but fears that she’ll ruin it — whether because of her knee injury and self-medicating with Jack Daniels, or because of a disturbing new attraction to Harper’s charming man of honor, which she blames on her mercurial Fury nature. Riss’s struggles are relatable, and her growing determination to take responsibility for her life is admirable.

Kasey MacKenzie’s writing style isn’t the most distinctive in the field, but it does the job, and it’s improved since Red Hot Fury. Green-Eyed Envy has more humor, better scene transitions, wiser choices about what to show vs. what to tell, and only one use of the word “weps.”

Stronger (but also fluffier) than its predecessor, Green-Eyed Envy is a fun mystery with lots of action and twists. Add this one to the beach bag.(less)

We can try hard not to judge a book by its cover, but even the most noble among us will fail to be completely impartial when they crack a book for the first time. That’s because however much we might try and deny it, the cover of a book makes certain promises even before we know what the book is about, and broken promises tend to disappoint readers, or at least that’s how I feel after finishing GREEN-EYED ENVY.

I enjoyed that Riss (Marissa) the Tisiphone Fury of this book actually got to do some detective work. There was Scott in it and you got to see some of the Fury politics. Plus, it was nice to see the return of the Queen of the Harpies. The whole Nan waking up from a mystical coma but she goes and starts causing turmoil in the Fury world. I am curious as to the whole conclusion of this in the next book.

That's all the good stuff that I can come up with. Here are the things that bothered me.

Due to the Fury turmoil there's a civil war brewing and the Tisiphones are being targeted in specific Riss and her family. Now, if you were supposedly a smart 16 year old (or near) and people wanted to kill you and your family wouldn't the wise course of action be NOT to go out and see a movie with your human friends? I could see it if the adults were not divulging that information or just in general a twit. And Riss doesn't even try to scold her for doing it? Or when the niece was moaning about her grounding, no your-parents-are-right? Really?

Yes, Scott was basically there every step of the way, but after the first 50 pages there was zilch personality coming from him. I was kind of hoping to get to see more of his personality and/or world since part of the story revolves the marriage between Harper (FBI friend) and his cousin. Scott's mother had left that side of the family when his mother met his dad who was human (his family regards hooking up humans as beneath them). Though, Scott and his cousin duking it out via arm wrestling was hilarious.

Another thing that I wished Mackenzie would have included in her book was to tell his why the hell the Furies have their own grouping? There's Tisiphone, Alecto, and Megaera. As a kid I loved greek mythology and were intrigued by the Furiae and I know that the titles were actually the three furiae from Greek Mythology, but in Book 1 Mackenzie establishes that nope, they are actually titles. Maybe then she would have explained how the titles work, what sort of policing each group do that sort of thing. She might have explained it in book 1, but she definitely didn't here. I actually had to go to her website and find a pdf of the Arcana Guide to the Furies where it tells each group roles.

Finally, the whole Victor situation. If I was around a dude who caused me to act the total opposite of my who I was, wouldn't that be a clue that the person is doing something? Yes, Riss never gave in, but one would think since she had to keep reminding herself about Scott and even sometimes she would completely forget about him. Wouldn't that send off an alarm bell that something isn't right? She even said that that attraction was weird for her. (view spoiler)(less)

I missed reading the first book which probablt lowered my rating. There was a lot of going back and I realized I missed one before I finished. Still as others said I wasn't feeling the love connection.

I know I have read this, and it's sitting on my bookshelf still, but I can't bring the story forth. So it gets my standard 3 star rating until I read it again.

Loved the first book. This book was just okay. Didn't like the constant references to her relationship with "Jack". I want to see more of her relationship with Scott.

Shelves: 2012, urban-fantasy

This is one of those occasions where nothing is wrong in the writing but I find myself not caring enough to finish out the series.

Certainly better than the first one. Though it was predictable in terms of the culprit. Doubt i'll be going back to read the 3rd book though.

3.5 stars - I enjoyed this second in the series - good primary plot wrapped up by the end of the book. Villain was still a bit predictable but the story arc begun in book 1 continues and holds the reader's interest.

Good read, lots of action. Very little romance...lots of talking about it, but little actual sexual content.
