Tara Walker dreams of more excitement than slinging plates of seafood for Cape Cod tourists, but as she learns when she is attacked and forced to fight for her life, fate sometimes has a funny way of giving you exactly what you wish for. Faced with strange new powers and embroiled in a murder investigation, Tara must now race to uncover the secrets of the ancient Fury that has woken inside of her … her – and of the evil that stalks her.
As if Tara’s life hasn’t gotten complicated enough, she is forced to ally herself with Jackson Byrne, witness to her assault and uncle to a pint-sized oracle whose fate is intertwined with hers. Skeptical, stubborn, and oh-so-sexy, Jackson wrestles with demons of his own. He is determined to ignore the attraction rising between them even faster than the body count, but like it or not, he and Tara need each other if they are to unravel the mysteries that surround them.

What An Exciting Story, I Want More!
This is #01 in the New England Furies Series.
HEA with No cliffhangers!
This is a connected series, with interacting characters, places, and themes. I would recommend reading these in order.
Content Advisory:
There is sex, dirty talk, and cursing. This is action packed so things are all part of the action.
There is a attempted rape scene in the beginning.
If you like Mythology, you are going to love this title! Lots of Greek lore that isn’t touched on as much, which is refreshing. The Furies take front and center, and they are pretty bad-ass!
Hell has no Fury like a woman scorned!
This series focuses on 3 Hot Messes of roommates that are also BFFs. They will come to inhabit a Fury to ultimately stop a big bad, maybe more than one, that is coming into our world. Well, that is over simplifying it, because these ladies are pretty bad in their own right. Alecto, Fury of Vengeance, finds her home in Tara. The shadow cat Fury of Jealousy, Megaera, finds a fitting home in Alex. While the slightly more logical Fury or Murder, Tisiphone, finds a home in Rach. Apate, Eris, and Keres are all mentioned as the potential foe, so not for sure if there is going to be more than one Top Villain, or all three.
Fury’s Kiss focuses on Tara Walker the waitress. Once this story gets going, its hard to put it down. There is a little bit of everything that makes a great Paranormal read. There is romance, some laughs, adventure, the girlfriends you wish you had, super awesome powers, plus all the great bits of mythology you know and love. Plus some that I knew about but not in as much detail as I do now!
The Scooby Gang comes together quite quickly. You are introduced to all the major players of the the first 3 main books so I would suggest reading in order, as there are tid-bits that help fill out a character’s profile that you would loose if you start in the middle. Only #01 is in audio at this moment, but there are plans to get the others out soon. That’s about the only bad thing I can say about this title and series. The E-Books are available on Amazon for all that is currently written, just not audio.
Nicola R. White has created some awesome characters I just can’t get enough of. I can’t wait for the rest of the series to make it to audio. This was my first listen and won’t be my last!
This was my first listen by Elizabeth Tebb. I could totally get lost in the story which is what you want from narrator. I did not like the Cajun accent for Ty. I grew up in the area that accent comes from and it did not work for me. Luckily it’s not used much.
Normal speed was fine, however I listened at 0.90x. It is my personal preference.
Audiobook obtained at my request and I am voluntarily leaving this unbiased review.
Nicola R. White’s novel Fury’s Kiss is the first in the New England Furies series. I was given the audiobook version in exchange for an honest review. I loved this story! I look forward to reading the rest of the series and spending more time with these characters. I enjoyed the audiobook, although it took some getting used to the voices and accents the narrator, Elizabeth Tebb, used. Before long, I actually enjoyed the voices and found they made the story more interesting and gave depth to the characters. Fantasy stories are some of my favourites, so I love that aspect of the book, especially the Greek mythology the author has intertwined in her story. I also enjoy romance and I liked the attraction and tension between Jackson and Tara. Fury’s Kiss is sexy, entertaining, suspenseful, mysterious, and full of magic!
