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 theΒ 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!
