I just loved getting to read this title. It was just so much fun seeing these characters and I just couldn’t get enough of them. I look forward to reading more wonderful stories in this series.

Well this one was a fun adventure! Maccus is a fallen angel who has been cast out from both hell and heaven due to being so powerful and mastering several different skills; its by the tips of his teeth he holds onto what’s left of his soul. However, his grip is tested when a hit order is placed on him, with the beautiful and deadly half human, half demon, Morrigan Quill, as his assassinator.

I had a lot of fun reading this one! The instant chemistry between Morrigan and Maccus kept me turning the page and wanting to know what happens with their relationship. There were a few moments in the book where the pace slowed down to a snail crawl, but once the next plot point hit--we were back to cruising through. I kind of wish the ending wasn’t as predictable as it was, but overall this was a nice entertaining read and hit the spot for a good paranormal romance quickie.

I’m following in my commitment to try more paranormal romances, so when I saw a new series was coming out by an author I’ve seen around for years I knew I had to give it a shot. This book is all about angels, fallen angels and demons and I was into it from the start.

Maccus is a fallen angel and an assassin. He gets an assignment by none other than Gabriel who’s put out a hit on one of Hell’s bounty hunters. That just happens to be our heroine, Morrigan, who sold her soul to Lucifer to save her sister. Morrigan on the other hand also got a contract from Lucifer to kill Maccus. If she completes her task, she’ll be set free.

FURY UNLEASHED is one steamy paranormal romance! I liked the main characters and the plot of this book as they navigated trying to figure out the reasons why they were put against each other and what part they played between Gabriel and Lucifer. The romance, chemistry and steam was on 10 but the world building could’ve been a little better. The world felt just a little simple.

That being said though, I will be on the lookout for the next book in the series and hopefully more books by this author.

Who doesn’t love a book with demons, fallen angels and assassins? Great story and characters nice start to a series. Ive been a long time fan of the author so I really HAD to read it.

Fury Unleashed is an epic tale of good versus evil. When a fallen angel assassin is contracted by Gabriel to kill a female demon bounty hunter, Maccus Fury thinks it's all in a day's work. Until he meets her. Morrigan Quill is a bounty hunter for Lucifer. Her only job is to locate demons who've spend too much time topside and send them home to Hell. When Lucifer offers to void her contract, releasing Morrigan and her sister, she jumps at the chance until he instructs her to kill someone. A very large, menacing looking someone. Her job does not include killing anything, ever.

Now Maccus and Morrigan must work together to find out what Gabriel and Lucifer are up to before one or both of them end up dead.

I thought Fury Unleashed was an amazing paranormal novel. The author provided a good versus evil story with more twists, turns, and events the reader won't see coming to keep someone complete engaged, which I was. I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. I enjoyed the path Maccus and Morrigan had to travel in order to get to their ultimate destinations.

Morrigan is a bounty hunter because in order to save her sister, Morrigan sold her soul. She is now serving a long sentence under the watchful eye of Emmett, her handler, and Lucifer. Her compassion and lover for her sister is evident throughout the whole book. As events, lies, and deceptions are revealed to Morrigan you can't help but empathize with her. She's pulled in many different directions, including right into the sights of Maccus.

Maccus has been kicked out of heaven and booted out of hell and just wants to be left alone on earth. The contract to kill Morrigan Quill has him concerned enough to find her and investigate why heaven wants her dead. He wasn't planning on falling for his prey but fall he did - and hard. When the feelings are reciprocated their chemistry, affection, and steamy scenes just engulf the pages, the reader's mind, and explode into all of the feels.

The author crafted a unique world and a story that was intriguing, and full of mystery, suspense, action, and wonderful characters. I was easily drawn into the book and found myself immersed. I look forward to the next book, Arctic Bite.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Just loved this book and recommend it to everyone.

I've been a fan of N.J. Walters from the time I read her Blood of the Drakon series. So I was pretty excited to read this one when I heard that she was coming out with a new series! I think this was a good setup for the first book in a new series but it definitely didn't live up to my expectations!
The concept of The Forgotten Brotherhood was pretty interesting but I'd love to see more! And though the characters were well developed and with loads of sexual tension, there wasn't much development in the emotional part of the relationship! It was a case of insta-love! I wish we could've seen them spending more time together and getting to know each other. Though this one didn't meet my expectations (kinda my fault for comparing it to the Blood of the Drakon series) the premise for book two sounds interesting and I'd love to continue the series!

This story is a stand alone within the Brotherhood series. We find Fury a fallen angel and Morrigan, a demon Hunter, embroiled in a fight for their lives. This isn't a standard supernatural romance story. This is a romance, action, and drama rolled into one. The imagery is so intense and real. Although the book is a standalone, there will be more in the series. You will only regret that this isn't a movie. This is a one sitting read.

This review is waaaaaaaay late. Embarrassingly late. I’ve been a fan of NJ Walter’s books for several years so back in February I jumped on requesting an ARC for Unleashed Fury, the first book in a new series. Then Covid 19 hit just as I was about to be released from all my post surgery restrictions. Which meant that after almost a year of being stuck at home, I was still stuck at home, except this time, with no company allowed. This put me in a bit of a funk and not in the right place to get into a book dealing with a fallen angel, a woman who sold her soul, and Lucifer and the angel, Gabriel, playing games.

When I finally felt well enough to read the book I did enjoy it, but I can't say I loved it. Individually I like Maccus and Morrigan, but I questioned them together. Part of it had to do with how quickly they ended up in the sheets when they both had such huge trust issues (and rightly so considering the circumstances). The good news is the chemistry between the two of them was smoking and the sex scenes absolutely sizzled.

As hot as they were, I would have loved to trade in one or two of those sex scenes to get more of an explanation as to why Gabriel and Lucifer were playing games, the backstory of why Maccus fell and more information on the Forgotten Brotherhood. Because of this, when I finished the story, I wasn't completely satisfied.

That's not to say I didn't enjoy the story, I did. The main characters were strong, just like I like them, their connection was smoking hot. and it had lots of action. But, it left me wanting more.

Rating 3.25 Stars.

This is my first read from the author and I really enjoyed it.

The story started a little slow for me and then quickly captured my attention. I thought the world building was solid. Maccus and Morrigan had good chemistry and enjoyed their banter. I also liked the secondary characters, though I wish they were fleshed out a bit more.

FURY UNLEASHED is an intriguing paranormal romance with dangerous, otherworldly creatures, subterfuge, betrayal and more. I’m looking forward to the next book.

This book started out promising and then took a bit of a nosedive. I enjoyed the whole paranormal aspect. I was just thinkng the other day about reading more paranormal romances, and then I remembered this one. I love alpha males, and Maccus definitely fits the bill. A fallen angel. An assassin. Gruff and massive. All major pluses. I liked Morrigan too. She was tough and no-nonsense and didn't take shit.

However, as the book progressed, Morrigan's unfailing devotion to her traitorous little snake of a sister became irritating. There was literally no reason for her to keep trying to protect her when every single time Kayley would stab her in the back. It was tiresome.

And then, there was Maccus's whole view of their kill-or-be-killed situation. He still thought Morrigan would rather kill him to save herself until literally the last 10% of the book. Obviously that doesn't leave a lot of room for romance. There was smut and angst and conflicted emotions, of course, but since Maccus kept himself from believing Morrigan loved him (even though she showed him in about A HUNDRED DIFFERENT WAYS), he was very distant and, at times, unloving towards her. Could've done with a bit more emotion from him.

Also, the writing seemed to get a bit worse the further into the book I got. It was clunky and awkward at times. I kept noticing it.

This was SO good! It's a great setup to the series. It's intense, emotional and absolutely captivating. I read the 2nd book 1st and liked the idea but the amount of internal monologue had me skimming. Based on Maccus and Morrigan's story, there's no doubt I'm giving up on it and can't wait for more in the series.

Loved reading the mesmerizing and spellbinding romance story. Morrigan, a demon bounty for Lucifer, is suppose to kill Maccus, a fallen angel. Even though Maccus is suppose to kill Morrigan, he can't help himself being attracted to her light and Morrigan herself. When Morrigan meets Maccus, she is not only drawn to his power but also to his charisma and light. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and riveting story of two people destined to find each other.
I reviewed a copy of the book through NetGalley.

Enjoyed this book ... probably more than I should have but I found it really refreshing. I have really only been reading regular romances so this was a breath of fresh air. I really loved the supernatural aspect of this book which I felt doesn't set it apart from the early 2000's paranormal romance streak but it was all on its own. It is really nice seeing supernatural creatures coming back in style in books. I really enjoyed the characters especially Maccus but also Morrigan as well. They are both put in a situation that could ruin themselves in some way or another of they go through with it. I felt that Maccus was more of a character that you more told than shown. The only thing is that I felt that they author was rushing to finish this book within the last couple pages that some moments weren't as developed as others.

Overall this is a great guilty pleasure read if you like the supernatural and romance mixed together.

*Thank you Netgallley for providing me a copy for an honest review. *

If you are looking for an addictive paranormal romance then look no further. Fury Unleashed is the first book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series by N.J. Walters and I could not put it down.

First things first. Can we talk about how gorgeous that cover is? Seriously, you can say what you want about judging a book by it’s cover, this is one of those that I want a framed poster of. It’s glorious.

“People think Hell is fiery, but for me, it’s frigid. I’ve been cold for so long.” Her green eyes seemed to deepen in color, tugging at something inside him. “Being with you.” She rubbed her hands over her thighs, the nervous gesture almost endearing. “It’s the first time I’ve been warm in ten years.”

In order to save her younger sister, Morrigan Quill sold her soul to be a bounty hunter for 25 years, working off her contract by catching demons to drag back to hell. So when Lucifier gives her the ultimate offer to kill one guy and have her sentence completely wiped, she has no choice because if she fails, she will spend the rest of her contract being tormented in hell. At the same time, Maccus Fury, a now fallen angel, is being given a similar ultimatum from the Archangel Gabriel. Kill Morrigan and get his wings back.

When these two are thrown together, they can’t deny the instant chemistry. Knowing that she doesn’t have a chance in hell (no pun intended) in killing Maccus, she resigns herself to her fate. That doesn’t mean that they can’t have a little fun before that.

"They’d only known each other for a couple of hours, but there was a sense of destiny about this moment, as though she’d waited a lifetime for it and for him."

Realizing that the two had been pitted together, and with demons and angels fighting against them, they have to fight together to discover the nefarious plot against them. As the attraction grows between the two, they’ll also have to fight the pull of their hearts.

“His mouth slammed down on hers. He didn’t kiss her; he consumed her.”

Not withstanding everything happening around us in real life, I didn’t want to stop reading. I loved Morrigan’s strength of character and her goodness shines brightly. Maccus is a fighter and protective of Morrigan. These two haven’t had a lot of good in their life and mesh so well together. The plot was so addictive and I was anxious to find out why these two were thrown together in this way and how they would be able to get their HEA without losing each other or their souls. I am so pumped to get the next book in the series and see more of these two, even as side characters. It’s been a while since I’ve loved a paranormal romance so much so I’d recommend it to anyone who’s been in a slump. Pick this one up!!

“No matter what happens,” she told him as she ran her hands up his chest to rest on his shoulders, “I’ll never regret this.” Going up on her toes, she kissed his chin. “They can’t taint this if we don’t let them.”

First volume in the new Forgotten Brotherhood series by the author, Fury Unleashed takes us in a world where angels and demons roam the Earth more or less discreetly, and our two heroes are charged with taking back the contraveners in their original world or killing the uncooperative. Things get worse when each is given the mission to kill the other one.

Morrigan is a bounty hunter for Hell, who sold her soul to save her sister’s life. She’s a very strong heroin, both physically as mentally, and even when she learns disturbing things about her past she doesn’t let them take her down. She’s also realist about the possible outcome of this last contract but she takes things as they come and tries to make the most before the end.

Maccus (who I called Marcus for the whole book) is a fallen angel who works as assassin for Paradise. Little by little life on Earth and his activity eroded his soul and he’s about to tumble in darkness. He needs a lot of time to open to the heroine (well everything is relative as it seems to me all happens in only a few days), but he feels from the start a strong need to protect her and that disturbs him.

Between them the attraction is quite immediate and the sex scenes are numerous and descriptive, like in all the novels from this author I’ve read. But if they are pleasant to read, their presence take precedence on character and plot development and I found too bad. Not to mention the feelings arriving a bit fast in my opinion.

There’s not much explanation about the world imagined by the author, but she uses notions and characters from religions and general knowledge customary in fantasy so the reader is not lost. The story’s bad guys are Gabriel and Lucifer, but I found their motivations are not clear: all this because Maccus is powerful, they’ve hated him for thousands years, and at the same time when they feel a weakness they decide unilaterally to eliminate him? If there’s more it was lost on me.

The battle scenes are equally quite descriptive but the final resolution could seem deceiving to some readers. I found it surprising and finally logical, the only way to save what was left of Maccus’ soul.

In the end a first volume pleasant to read on some points but leaving me dissatisfied on others.

This is one of my favorite books this year! I just loved the concept and play off between Heaven and Hell. I also enjoyed the chemistry between demon hunter Morrigan and the cast out angel Maccus- it was hot and steamy! If you like your sex hot with some paranormal activity this may be your perfect weekend read. I honestly don’t have any critiques for this book. It was well written and had a good plot and excellent character development. I really enjoyed learning about each character and their journey. I could definitely see this turning into a series. This ARC was provided by Netgalley and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

A fabulous story by N.J. Walters. Good solid plot with an awesome set of characters. Great writing and a fast-paced plot make this a winner.

N.J. Walters is usually a hit or miss for me, and this was unfortunately a miss. WAY too insta-lust for me. I like to be eased into the romance, not instantly hit with sex within the first hour of knowing each other. Sometimes, on rare occasions, it works for me in a book. However, with this one, I thought it would have made more sense for them to take a bit more time to know each other. It felt awkward to me and just plain weird. It didn't fit well with my expectations and then threw off the rest of the book for me. I couldn't get past it. Too much too soon. I think this would absolutely work for a lot of readers, I'm just not one of them this time. Maybe for the next book!

Wow! What a book.
Even though it’s the middle of the night and I’m really tired, I have to write this review.
I’ve read previous books by N J Walters and really enjoyed them. But this book was something else.
A demon hunter and a fallen angel are hired to kill each other. Should be straight forward but it’s not.
This book is full of action, and is pretty hot too.
I’m gonna be giving it my recommendation to lots of friends.
Can’t wait to read more in this series.
