[Suz @ Bookish Revelations]

Cold Fury is an epic action packed force of amazing. It's brilliantly engaging with crazy masked assassins, cops gone rouge, and turn coat relatives. T.M. Goeglein pens a breath taking riveting novel, filled with unexpected twists and turns that will have readers grasping the edge of their seats all the way through it. The world he creates and the characters he super-imposes within it, are just as intriguing as they are mysterious and full of fascinating quirks. He wow's his audience with an action filled, dangerous, and refreshing spin on the Chicago Outfit.

Sarah Jane, is such an phenomenal kickass herione who is cleverly brilliant, cunning in her own way, and just as resourceful as she is resilient. She finds herself in an unlikely predicament, being chased and attacked it seems at every turn, all the while searching for her family and the many answers to her questions. With an old tattered notebook that might be her best chance to save her family, a 0.45, and 96k in cash she's on the run moving and never stopping long enough to stay in one place at a time, in an attempt to survive. It's amazing how well balanced and likable Sarah Jane is, I found it enjoyable to see a more realistic side of her vulnerability tempered against her badass fighting skills of steel, and typical normal teen angst. The connection between Sarah Jane's "emotional core" being steeped in a strong connection to family and "cold fury" on T.M. Goeglein's behalf is a wonderfully fascinating and intriguing element of the book itself. It gives it a bit of its own originality in a world of action packed adventures currently being written in the young adult fiction market these days.

Cold Fury is cold burning flame of dark gritty intense emotions, pain, betrayal, and action packed adventure that is enough to hook any reader who enjoys mystery and action novels. The pages are filled with tension and dark twists and turns that are unpredictable and captivating. It's sort of like The Sopranos meets addictive unputdownable fiction. The ending will not only keep readers on the edge of their seats, but will also have them screaming for more background and heart stopping action as far as the Outfit and the Sarah Jane's search for her family and the answers to her questions.
