Red Hot Fury (Shades of Fury, #1) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

Jun 23, 2010 Joletta rated it it was amazing

I read this book in three hours and was whimpering the closer I came to the last page. I just didn't want this story to end. Marissa (Rissa) is a Fury.

It was a 3.5 star read but got the extra half star for having some unusual paranormals (furies, harpies, giants, warhounds, etc), which was a nice change. Good story. I liked the heroine and hero as well as the assorted supporting characters. Very interesting world that I'm looking forward to revisiting soon. I did figure out who the bad guy was way before Rissa, but I figure she was just too busy staying alive to have the time to think about it. ...more
