Some storms destroy. Others clear a path. Military veteran Amelia Storm returns to her hometown of Chicago when her beloved police officer brother is killed in the line of duty. Now she is a special agent with the FBI. No longer a scared girl, she vows to avenge her brother and do what she can to end the city's deep wells of corruption. A television documentary puts a spotlight on a four-year-old kidnapping. Amelia and her colleagues in the Organized Crime Division know there's more to the girl's case than meets the eye. The twelve-year-old wasn't just abducted. She was targeted by a human trafficking ring. As Amelia falls deeper down the rabbit hole of Chicago's criminal hierarchy in search of the girl, she finds herself uncomfortably close to the people she left behind so long ago. This time, though, she won't run. Now, she is the storm that will unearth the city's long buried secrets. Or die trying. After all, she has nothing to lose. From the wickedly dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm's Fury, book one of the Amelia Storm Series, where you'll be reminded that Mother Earth is wild, but humans are the most dangerous creatures.

Mary Stone has a brand-new crime fiction series and “Amelia Storm” kicks off with Storm's Fury. Stone has created an intriguing set of characters in Chicago. We have the undercover IA agent, two partners who are at odds with each other, a recovering alcoholic father, a drug addict sister, an ex-boyfriend who runs one of the mafia families in Chicago, and a past full of landmines.
There are multiple mysteries already started. All of the mysteries are intriguing. From a murdered cop brother to a mysterious and high-powered villain. The case featured in this story is about human-trafficking with a lot of trails to follow at the end.
The only thing missing is the spice. Storm's Fury reads like a case file. There are hints of potential in the story due to all of the intriguing possibilities. Unfortunately, I felt no adrenaline when the doors are stormed or when an undercover assignment seems to get to the “good” part. Fury is introduced as a thriller, but there are no thrills or chills.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
