ARC Review: The Fury

 I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

The Fury by Alex Michaelides

This story has it all-a (fictional) celebrity, an isolated island, love, obsession, betrayal, and murder. Our narrator, Elliot Chase, promises to guide us through it all as he tells us the true story of what happened. But just how reliable is he? 

I absolutely loved this book. I was disappointed by Michaelides The Maidens, but there was absolutely no disappointment here. This book is brilliant. Every time you think you have a grasp on what’s going on, Michaelides pulls the rug right out from under you. All the while, he’s playing with the ideas of nature versus nature, celebrity, and what it truly means to love. Michaelides is a genius with the unreliable narrator, and he plays with that to such perfection here. I highly recommend this book.
