A review by amarachireadss
The Fury by Alex Michaelides

4.0

This is an interesting thriller that takes place mostly  on a private island with the narrator Elliot and his theater friends. The narrator is a very unreliable and it’s one of those books where the narrator talks directly to the reader. So Eliot’s friend Lana has been murdered and so this book is not only a murder mystery but a why did they do it mystery. The narrator is all over the place and goes back and forth to the past and present timelines. It was so jarring at times to have the narrator speaking directly to me and felt like a monologue but it all came together. I will say with this book you need to trust the process because the first act is very slow but it picks up during the second act. The last couple of acts were totally crazy and was twist after twist. There’s drama and all the characters definitely put on a show. Overall once I finished the book it all made sense and I thought it was a good thriller. 

Thanks to the publisher for the arc for an honest review.
