The story was there. It was good in some ways and not well done in others. A little stunted writing wise. I rarely say this, but this book could have used another 50-70 pages of internal dialogue, exposition and just general descriptive action.
Extreme insta lust/ love. I don’t mind insta love and this was almost even too quick for me lol

**I received a copy of Fury Unleashed by N. J. Walters from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions are mine alone and not solicited in any way.**
Fury Unleashed by N. J. Walters is one kick a** book and I wonder how did I not read anything before by this author? Holy Cow this book will suck you in with the push and pull by Gabriel and Lucifer and their quest to get rid of both Maccus and Morrigan and then spit you out on the other side! I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars as its worthy of so many more. I can't wait for the next book just on the basis of the teaser at the end of the story.
Morrigan Quill is not only one of Hell's bounty hunters she's also a very good one and is counting down the time left in her contract with Lucifer. See she sold her soul to keep you younger sister safe but little does she know that things are not only going to change with her contract to kill Maccus Fury, yep you guessed it that little sister... May not be as innocent as she thinks. When Gabriel gives Maccus a contract for Morrigan it doesn't take much to start thinking that one fallen angel and one bounty hunter are going to fall for each other all while trying to figure out why Heaven and Hell want them dead. I'm not going to say anything more because I don't want to spoil the story so you'll just have to read it.

Well this one was a fun adventure! Maccus is a fallen angel who has been cast out from both hell and heaven due to being so powerful and mastering several different skills; its by the tips of his teeth he holds onto what’s left of his soul. However, his grip is tested when a hit order is placed on him, with the beautiful and deadly half human, half demon, Morrigan Quill, as his assassinator.
I had a lot of fun reading this one! The instant chemistry between Morrigan and Maccus kept me turning the page and wanting to know what happens with their relationship. There were a few moments in the book where the pace slowed down to a snail crawl, but once the next plot point hit--we were back to cruising through. I kind of wish the ending wasn’t as predictable as it was, but overall this was a nice entertaining read and hit the spot for a good paranormal romance quickie.

* I would like to thank Entangled Publishing for a copy of this book in return for an honest review*
Steamy paranormal romance of an unlikely pair that are fighting the age old battle of good verses evil, heaven verses hell.
This was my first time reading a N.J Walters book and I am glad that I did. Although there were some things that fell short for me and some missteps in my opinion, I am excited for the series to continue. This book reminded me a little ( a mean a little) of Supernatural meets the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It just had that BDB vibe, except for instead of vampires its angels and demons!
In a urban setting, a fallen angel and a demon bounty hunter soon find themselves crossing paths for the similar reasons. With the idea of how far will you go for the ones you love, this book has an ending that I didn't see coming. There was sexy time, fighting with some pretty bad ass weapons and or course some sassy characters!
The story was told from the perspective of multiple of the characters so you get to see their internal processing and thought stream/reasoning. The main characters fell a little flat and I wanted more from them at times, but they are my favorite combination. The big, bruiting, take no names, scarred male with a snarky, independent and strong woman! I adored Morrigan and she is definitely a fierce female. Throughout all she has faced and endured she still cares so much and it was wonderful. Then there was Maccus who is a sexy fallen angel that has been around for thousands of year and has a scary representation. What she does to him makes me so soft and I just want to hug him!
The different situations they had to go through and the decisions they had to make was well done and you could really feel for them on how they were feeling and the pull inside themselves. The whole storyline between Morrigan and her sister was intriguing. It really allowed for you to see her motivations and overall type of person she was. And how she was able to do what she did
Now lets talk about those side characters. I wanted so much more from Lucifer and Gabriel. I love what Walters did with them and the scenes that they are in! I wish we could have seen more from them and gotten a little more of their backstories and how the issues that came up came about.
It took me awhile to really get into the world. I thought it took Walters some time to really paint that bigger picture and show the world building. I was wanting so much more from the world building. I know paranormal romances are usually about the romance. But this story concept has so much potential and is not something I have read before.
I did also struggle with the fact that we jumped into the steamy moments almost instantly. Be prepared for a lot of HOT scenes! (like they have sex A LOT!) Don't get me wrong they were great, but felt a little "insta-coupley" for me.
There was some explanation to the reasonings for a lot of things, but I felt like I was told it instead of shown it. The story dragged at times and there were times I felt like the characters internal dialogue was repetitive and it stated the same thing multiple times at different points in the books.
If you read this whole review you will see I am a little all over the place. Overall this was a quick and steamy story that left me wanting more. I cannot see what the next book has in story and have hopes that it will be even better and see our couple pop up again. The book was a little predictable but that ending came out of nowhere and shocked me. It was not how I saw it ending. There were some things that I wish were done differently or better developed, but I loved where the story was going and the overall idea. How could you not want to read a book about fallen angels, angels and demons.

Too bad I didn't find this book sooner when I was on my PNR streak. Now I tend to enjoy urban fantasy more and 'Fury Unleashed' had too many sexual scenes for my current taste. Instead of reading it until the end and giving it a low rating, I am putting it aside until I am in the mood again for a good erotic paranormal romance.

I couldn't feel it.
Where was the romantic tension, the build up? All I saw was sex.
This failed on so many levels. The plot was predictable . Neither protagonist had a personality beyond I'm a badass and both the antagonists seemed ridiculous.
I hate giving bad reviews but this just didn't do it for me.

This was good, like, really good. I loved the main characters and the story kept me hooked for the entire time.
Maccus is definitely an anti hero and an awesome one at that. He was once an angel until Gabriel, his best friend, betrayed him and cut off his wings. Falling to Hell, Maccus literally carved out a bloody existence until his violence, and fear of his strength, had him kicked out of there as well. Now living on Earth, he sells his services and tries to avoid attracting the attention of Heaven or Hell. He is feared by all who know his name and has never minded his solitary life.
Morrigan was just a normal girl who tried her hardest to take care of her younger sister until the day her sister summoned Lucifer. In order to save her sister, Morrigan offered herself instead and now she is bound to do his bidding until her contract is up. After suffering unimaginably in Hell as part of her "training" she now works as sort of a bounty hunter for Hell. Tracking down demons that have not returned when their time topside is over.
Their lives get twisted together when Gabriel approaches Maccus with an offer should he kill Morrigan for him, and Morrigan is ordered by Lucifer to kill Maccus. At first, wanting their deaths doesn't make any sense. But the more that these two dig into things and find out, the reasons slowly come to light and nothing good will come of it for either of them. There is plenty of fighting, lots of heat, and twists around every corner. The biggest surprise coming at the end that their enemies never expected.
I absolutely loved the relationship between Maccus and Morrigan. Morrigan was a woman who knew how kick ass...but also knew her limits and I love when authors acknowledge that. Maccus is unbeatable and his skills are only surpassed by his well earned arrogance. The strength of the other was a major turn on for both of them and it was apparent from the start that these two were made for each other.
I have a feeling the next book will not be about these two, the series is about the Forgotten Brotherhood after all, but I think I will definiteley want to check it out.

Interesting start to a series. Love a fallen Angel and someone with special, unexpected powers.
shinysue's review
I have no idea who these characters are but I'm supposed to believe their weird lust for each other? So far they've each been given a murder contract against the other, met serendipitously, and fucked all night knowing who the other person was.
It's written in a really YA style which makes the overt and quick smut very disturbing.
