Storm's Fury

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.
