Fury by Charlotte McConaghy

Fury is the first book of The Cure series by Charlotte McConaghy. The rest of the series is not yet published.

Summary

"When emotions are erased from the world, creating a civilization of mindless drones, only those with fury can survive.
On the same day each year Josephine Luquet wakes naked, shivering and covered in blood that is not her own. Under the cold gaze of the blood moon she is someone else entirely, but when dawn breaks her memories flee and she is left with only an icy horror, a burning fury. Amid a sea of drones, she alone hasn’t been cured.
It will be the same each year: atrocities forgotten, truths hidden and pieces of herself left to die.
Until Luke.
He isn’t like the other drones. With secrets whispering behind his eyes and a hunger for all things Josephine, he is the only one determined to help her discover the truth before the next blood moon rises.
But time is running out. Is Luke willing to risk his life to be near her? Does he truly understand what violence she is capable of?
Raw and full of passion, Fury is a story of love in a dystopian world, and how much we are willing to forgive in the struggle to remember our humanity."

Review

This book surprised me. I wasn't sure what to expect but I quickly grew interested in the main characters and their back-stories. It has revealing information slowly exposed so it keeps the mystery alive. It's based in a dystopian world where emotions are numbed, and it can be somewhat realistic with the way that some modern mental medications do in fact make people feel they are 'numb', especially when referring to rage or sadness. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to see what happens in this series.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
