Fury is a good and enjoyable read and a promising start to a new gangland series set in Scotland featuring the Macgregor brothers. Virgil, the head of his family returns to the fold after a six month absence. The authors writing is good and the plot is well thought out but this read didn't wow me or become the page turner I was hoping for. It started off quite slowly so it took time for me to become familiar with its characters. There are hints of past family crimes that I hope will be explored more in future books. All in all a good start to a gangland series and I'd like to read the next book to see what is in store for Virgil and his family. 3 stars

Virgil has finished with bare-knuckle fighting and is living a quiet life is a small but tidy caravan surrounded by fields and countryside where he gets the peace and solitude he needs. When he has an unexpected visit from his mother, grandma and estranged wife Ember, he has no choice but to return to his family home in Garthamlock to stop his brothers from fighting for Toni McVay, Scotland’s most powerful and dangerous woman. ‘Fury’ is the latest gritty gangland thriller by Heather Atkinson and the first with the MacGregor family that brings into the story characters from the previous series such as Toni McVay and Rose one of the Savage Sisters. The book is interesting and the plot well-thought-out and I liked Virgil for trying to improve his health by meditation and healthy living, but there was so much violence and aggression it made me feel uncomfortable. I can understand how some readers will enjoy it but it didn’t do anything for me and was glad when I reached the end.
