The Reaping of 1986 changed everything about how humans and
cryptids interacted. Presently, cryptids legally reside only in labs or
cages as a result of that horrific event. Rebecca Essig is one of the few
survivors of the Reaping and we are about to watch it unfold through
her eyes. Meanwhile, in the current day, Delilah Marlowe is in hiding
with a small group of cryptids. Pregnant and fearing that things will
remain unsafe for her soon-to-be-born baby, Delilah is desperate to
see things change... but at what cost? FURY is the third and concluding
book in the Menagerie
series and wow, I didn't want to see this one end! If you haven't read
the first two books in the series, stop what you are doing and read
them immediately. FURY is a
spectacular tale, all the more so because of the post-Reaping history,
we've watched Delilah endure and even thrive in. Delilah is a phenomenal heroine. She's been beaten and battered in
some of the worst ways possible and yet she strives to see the beauty
in others. Her loyalty to her friends (who are more like family) makes
her both vulnerable and strong. It's easy to understand why the furiae
resides in her. One of the things I love most about FURY is that we get so much more insight into the
furiae and its origin within Delilah. The story isn't an easy one but oh is
it a captivating one! Rachel Vincent intertwines two stunning tales to conclude the Menagerie trilogy. The
transitions from 1986 to present day flow seamlessly together as
Rachel Vincent melds past and present events together to give us a
fascinating portrait of how a world came to be divided by fear. Rachel
Vincent provides us with a masterful conclusion to her dark fantasy
trilogy with FURY!

SUMMARY
Magic, fate and hope collide in the stunning
conclusion of New York
Times bestselling author Rachel
Vincent’s acclaimed Menagerie trilogy… 1986: Rebecca Essig leaves a slumber party early
but comes home to a massacre—committed by her own parents.
Only one of her siblings has survived. But as the tragic
event unfolds, she begins to realize that other than a small
army of six-year-olds, she is among very few survivors of a
nationwide slaughter. The Reaping has begun. Present day: Pregnant and on the run with a small
band of compatriots, Delilah Marlow is determined to bring
her baby into the world safely and secretly. But she isn’t
used to sitting back while others suffer, and she’s
desperate to reunite Zyanya, the cheetah shifter, with her
brother and children. To find a way for Lenore the siren to
see her husband. To find Rommily’s missing Oracle sisters.
To unify this adopted family of fellow cryptids she came to
love and rely on in captivity. But Delilah is about to discover that her role in the human
versus cryptid war is destined to be much larger—and more
dangerous—than she ever could have imagined. Weaving together past and present in this heartbreaking
tale of sacrifice and self-discovery, Fury is the
deeply moving finale to a series that readers won’t soon
forget.
