I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew narrator was going to do something that I expect him to do. He sure did, but also so many other twists and turns happened that I wanted to throw the book away in a good way. I was like DJ Khaled singing "anotha one" but in a question form.

They don't lie when they say be careful what you wish for. You want to write the best play ever. You want it to be the most successful one staged in the near past. You want to feel like you tricked everyone with your incomparable cunningness. sure Elliott, you could get all of those, but there could more that came with it. There would always be someone smarter and better than you. There was always a chance that you could be beaten in your own game. You started all of that...

The Fury brought back what we had in the Silent Patient. I felt the buzz in my brain. Every time the narrator said "but that was not the truth" or "but that's not what happened", I said "what else you are going to throw in there?" under my breath. At least now we know not to think that we are as invisible and loved as we thought.

This story sucked me in from the prologue. Written in a distinct narrator voice that is reminiscent of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson, The Fury is a story told by narrator Elliot Chase, who recounts a recent trip to his friend's private island in Greece. Atmospheric and transportative, this story is about murder...and love.

The best part about this story is the voice of the narrator-- it is such an enjoyable reading experience when you feel like you're sitting across the table from them as they share the story. Initially, I thought I knew what kind of book this was, but it ultimately turned into something else. Michaelides totally knocked it out of the park on this one!
