Kasey MacKenzie Red Hot Furyurban  fantasy book reviews Kasey MacKenzie Shades of Fury 1. Red Hot FuryRed Hot Fury by Kasey MacKenzie

Look out, paranormal baddies; Marissa Holloway is on the job. Riss is a Fury, and her mission is to fight supernatural crime… The plot of Red Hot Fury is fast and, well, furious. MacKenzie keeps the excitement at a high level throughout most of the book, and combines the action with a compelling romance between two characters who royally screwed up their relationship years ago but now have a second chance to work things out. At times, though, the plot moves too quickly… There are other problematic elements… However, the idea of a Fury-based urban fantasy is original enough, and the story entertaining enough despite its flaws, that I plan to continue with the Shades of Fury series. It has a lot of potential; it just needs some ironing out… Read the rest.

    I saw this book on the net here just the other day. It sounds like a neat twist on Furies. I have added it to my wishlist, and looking forward to the book. Sounds like a great start to a new series. Thanks for the review!

Random FanLit Review:
    The Blood Knight: Solid if uneven "bridge" book in the series: The Blood Knight by Greg Keyes ... The Blood Knight, for the most part, avoids the pitfalls of the bridge book. The strength of the book is the same as earlier ones — the reader is never quite sure of just who the "bad guy" is here... The Blood Knight is not as...
