Fate and Fury
(The Grey Wolves Series Book 6)
By Quinn Loftis
Synopsis
The last few days have been the darkest of Sally’s life. After experiencing the joy of finding her mate, she now suffers the pain of losing everything she holds dear. Both the Romanian and Serbian packs have been captured, ripping Sally’s soul mate away from her almost as soon as she had found him. Her best friend and the emotional glue that usually holds Sally together, Jacque Pierce, lies writhing in a restless coma, having been put down by Desdemona’s dark magic. Jennifer Adams, the unshakable one, has revealed to her friends and her mate that she is pregnant, but the Fates have marked her unborn baby for death. Though she rails against the darkness, deep inside Jen knows that Decebel’s baby must die as payment for her own life, and the knowledge is tearing her soul to pieces. Cypher, King of the Warlocks, has claimed Jacque’s mother as his mate and agreed to help Desdemona open a door that would release a horde of demons from beyond the Veil.
Though her world is crashing down around her, Sally holds out hope. The Great Luna is not sitting idly by. She has commanded the Fey council to call upon the packs—all of them. And though Cypher looks for a way to open the Veil for Desdemona, he struggles to protect Lilly and the wolves at the same time. Peri, the ever-courageous High Fae, and a contingent of the remaining females of the Romanian and Serbian packs, push on through the rough Carpathian Mountains. Though they are bound to the human realm, they continue to search for a way to cross over to the land of the Fey. Meanwhile, in reluctant obedience to the Great Luna, the Fey council sends representatives to the far corners of the globe, meeting with the pack Alphas. The Fey must convince the Alphas of every pack to lay aside their petty territorial squabbles and battles of dominance. If they refuse, both the humans and the supernatural races will fall at Mona’s feet.
Sally holds to a shred of hope. Though Vasile, Decebel, and their pack mates endure the torture of the In-Between, living their worst nightmares over and over, Sally holds. Though she knows that it is only a matter of time before their wolves take over, she holds. Sally knows that if the males die, then so too will their mates who have performed the Blood Rites, including her best friends Jen and Jacque. Yet she holds. If the males lose themselves to their wolves and turn feral, so too do their mates. Still she holds. Though Vasile, the strongest Alpha in their history to unite the wolves, is lost beyond the Veil, Sally holds. Though Decebel, the only other wolf besides Vaile strong enough to unite the packs, suffers beyond the Veil, Sally will hold. No one is left to unite their race, and defeat Desdemona. Yet Sally still holds. She holds out hope that the Great Luna will not abandon them, cannot abandon them. Throughout the centuries, the Great Luna has always provided a gypsy healer to the packs, especially in times of great need. Now Sally is that healer. Sally fears what role she has to play in the defeat of Desdemona, but she will play it. Though heaven and hell unite against her, she WILL play it.
For too long the supernatural races have lived in separation, warring amongst themselves, allowing trivial power plays and selfish disputes to keep them from uniting. That separation has made them weak. Now, being summoned as a collective force to the same land, will they come? Will they come in numbers greater than have been seen in centuries? Will they destroy each other and save Mona the trouble, or will they finally unite and fight as one?
Review:
"Are you attempting an intervention? Is that what this is?" Mona motioned with a finger between them, "Let me save you the trouble King, there is no saving me."
I have to agree with the witch, there is no saving me... from how addicted I am to the Grey Wolves series. Fate and Fury was a knockout! I didn't put it down until I was done with is except for when I was forced to eat. Apparently reading all day and no eating is frowned upon in my house. Who knew?
'She smiled to herself at her thoughts because for a moment she felt her inner-Jen and realized she hadn't had many of those moments lately. Sally likes to think that it was because she no longer needed inner-Jen she was becoming exactly who she needed to be..."
Anyways, the book was told in many POV's but the main one was Sally's. Sally is such a sweet girl with a streak of fierceness that I love. Watching her and Costin's romance was a breath of fresh air. It was unique and not just from the other wolves in the pack but also from other YA Romances out there. Quinn always does a fantasmic job with coming up with unique three dimensional characters and this was no exception.
The buildup was great but it didn't drag on, thank God. The story was a rollercoaster of emotions and you are so spent by the end of it, it feels like you have experienced all of the hardships, and verbal sparring yourself. The language was kept at a decent level and wasn't as bad as it was in the books that centered on Jen.
"Jacque looked over at Jen.”Why do you get to cuss?" "Because I am pregnant, and like old people, pregnant people get to do a whole bunch of crazy crap and blame it on their bodies."
And the romance stayed true to its teen- YA genre- for which I was thankful for.
Quinn really knows how to keep you on your toes and that is one reason I really enjoy reading her books. I can be really good and figuring out a plot but with Fate and Fury I was grasping at straw the entire time and when her infamous cliff hanger ending showed up I was left with little sanity.
This book is one of the best in the series and you should not hesitate to buy and read it. It is totally worth the 4$ :)

Excerpt:
Costin closed his eyes and reached for Sally; his Sally, not the imitation that sat before, him broken and afraid. He didn’t know how long he and his pack mates had been in their own personal hell, but it was getting harder and harder to have moments of clarity like the brief glimpse he was getting now. The only thing that had allowed him to gain this much was the first moment in which he had felt her. It had been like a drink of water in a dry, parched land and it had brought him a minuscule amount of relief and then it was gone. With every moment that he felt the unrelenting torture of watching his mate die, be tortured, raped, ripped apart and taken from him he prayed for one second of his mates’ presence. He knew that he was fighting not only for his life, but for hers as well. It was a fight he refused to lose.
He pushed out with everything in him, reaching through the bond, though thin it was, to draw her to him. He held his breath as he waited for her to answer him. One beat, two beats, his heart pumped in his chest and then, she was there. His brown eyed gypsy and all the gentleness that she possessed.
“Sally mine,” he whispered through cracked lips.
