Fury: Book 1 of The Cure by Charlotte McConaghy

348 pages,

Published March 25th, 2014 by Momentum Books, Pan Macmillan

In the tradition of Divergent comes a novel about a world where negative emotions are stolen … and only those with fury can stand up and fight.

Eighteen-year-old Josephine Luquet wakes naked and covered in blood that is not hers on the same day every year—when the blood moon is full. Josi has not responded to the “Cure”—an immunization against anger mandated by the government—and believes herself to be a threat to others.

Then she meets Luke. Luke has had the Cure but seems different to the other “drones”—and he’s dead set on helping Josi discover the truth about herself before the next blood moon.

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.

Jennifer’s Review of Fury

Review (4 Stars):  I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book.  When I first read the synopsis for Fury, I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but this book really caught my attention.  Josephine Luquet is a young woman who hasn’t responded to the Cure, an immunization that strips away the feelings of anger or aggression among the human population. She believes that she is dangerous because of this and that she has killed before. She has found herself naked in the past, covered in blood with no recollection about the events that have transpired from the night before.  This only happens on the night of the Blood Moon which is rapidly approaching and Josi is afraid of what she may do next.

I liked the main character, Josi, and enjoyed reading the story mainly from her perspective.  This book tells the story of Josi from alternating points of view which include Luke, a mysterious stranger that Josi doesn’t want to talk about and Anthony, the therapist that is trying to help Josi by discussing her past. This book had me from the very beginning trying to decipher the pieces of Josi’s situation and determining how much of the story was the truth or just a figment of her imagination. I will warn you that this book ends on a cliffhanger but makes you more determined to read the next book in the series to see what happens next to these characters.
