This is the first novel in the series, and WOW I loved it!

Teen Fury: Unleashed is a young adult paranormal story about a young fifteen year old adopted girl[Felicia], who discovers that, her birth mother is a Fury, and her father is a God of Mercy. This discovery is significant Felicia; this causes a number of complications in her life. I loved this story it was original, and the idea of this Felicia discovering that she is the real daughter of two mythological creatures was interesting.

The main character Felicia was caring and genuine, and was so real. She was a perfect teenage heroine, in the novel. The love triangle between Felicia, Ryder and Zane provided a lot of tension and also helped Felicia (and the reader) to understand the dichotomy that she was struggling with because of the fury side and the mercy side of her genetic make-up.

There was a mix of mythology, powers, adventure, and romance. I really, really, really enjoyed it. A quick, fun read that I absolutely could not put down! I highly recommend it. Can't wait to read the second novel in the series!!

This is the second novel in the Teen Fury series. It's an original young adult paranormal story. This was definitely a great second book and as good if not better than the first book.

In the first novel, [Teen Fury: Unleashed] Felicia learns the truth about her biological parents. They represent good and evil, however in the second novel Felicia begins to wonder what is good and what is evil. The adventure continues as Felicia is forced to explore what her true nature is. There were many twists and turns, throughout the novel.

I really, really, really enjoyed it. A quick, fun read that I absolutely could not put down! I highly recommend it. Can't wait to read more from this author!!

Happy Reading!

This is a fairly good story of a young woman who can't escape the demons of her past. She still blames herself for the death of her dear sweet baby brother, a victim of a tragic drowning accident. It never was her fault, but she still holds herself accountable. Coming home brings back so many memories. She can't even stand the sight of her ailing mother or her dad. But her mother is dying and desperately needs a match. Savannah is the only option available. She can't fix the past, but she's hoping that allowing the doctors to cut out a piece of herself will somehow lessen the pain.

Grief is hard. Facing the past and making peace with it is hard. Learning to live with the pain is hard. And learning to forgive yourself is probably the hardest of all.

Note: Adult sex scenes are in this book.… (meer)

The plot and the idea behind Teen Fury is very interesting and refreshing. I really liked the whole fantasy with mythology idea befind the book(finally something other than vampires/werewolves). The beginning of the book was really interesting. It was interesting to observe the changes that Felicia was going through, and her new response to situations. I loved the first part of the book, but half-way through I just started to get so annoyed.

At first I really liked the characters, Felicia seemed really strong, caring with a really good goals in her life. Her friends were also funny and the friends that will always help you in need. So everything was good, until the cliché part. Half way through the book, we see how she becomes torn between two guys(of course), and how her personality totally changes. I mean I get that she is now part Fury, but the way she was thinking was just....I wanted to punch her at times. Lets just say she become totally selfish, it was all like "Oh they don't know what I'm going through, it's not my fault I'am such a bitch, blah blah". The worst part is that her friends also started acting all weird. Like the part where her friend wrote in a school paper about how bad of a friend Felicia is. I mean...seriously? Yeah there where those "what the hell" moments. SO the characters definitely not the best in this book.

Oh there was some crazy romance in this book. You know one girl torn between two boys that are totally opposed from each other. As you may now I like bad boys...in books...But in this one I didn't really like neither. But like half way through the book I started to like the good boy, Ryder. I didn't really like him in the beginning because he was kind of creepy, and later I started to realize why he was acting so weird and creepy. Now Zane "the bad boy" he just reminded me of typical jock teenager. You know the one that every girl likes, the one who is handsome and an asshole. So basically in a book Felicia is trying to figure out who she should trust and which guy she loves more. I felt like she did have a connection with both of them, like the pull towards them both, but it wasn't that strong. I liked her moments with Ryder and the way he made her feel, because to me when she was with Zane it was just a physical attraction. So I was Team Ryder!

Overall the book was okay, some parts I really liked but some just weren't good. I liked the plot and the unique idea behind the story. I also liked how the book started and ended. What I didn't like is how the characters changed, and basically like the middle of the book. I give this book 3 stars because I feel like it could of have been a lot better with such an interesting idea.… (meer)
