The Fury by Alex Michaelides
1.0
usually enjoy reading thrillers and murder mysteries but the fury absolutely dragged itself for eternity. not fast-paced at all. though the synopsis sounded trusting: lana farrar, a famous actress, invites her friends to her private island but someone ends up getting murdered.
i'm generally a huge fan of unreliable narrators bc they make the story much more interesting, but the mmc (elliot) and his exhausting narration felt soulless. the mmc forces the story to be so sterile and none of the main characters were particularly memorable for me. unfortunately the fury was a miss for me, the book falls flat and the ending sadly did not shock me.
many thanks to celadon books and netgalley for the e-arc.
