Fury By: Alison Ryan

(N) Logan Lowery's a rising soccer player. Her whole life she has had this dream of going to the Olympics. Just as it seemed like her dream and the chance to join the US Women's National Team was within reach life took a devastating turn of events. But then a chance run-in with Solomon Kano would end up being just the thing that Logan needed.
       Solomon Kano has ambitions of becoming an Olympic champion of his own as well as his own tragic past that he doesn't want to share. But that's fine with Logan because Solomon's not the only one who has secrets and a heart to guard.
       Logan was always taught you don't play a hand unless you are sure you can win it. But with Solomon it might just be worth the risk.
   
       I could not put this book down. I have finally got around to reading a good book again and this one takes the cake. Fury got my attention from the moment I started reading and held it all the way until the very end.
       One of the aspects that I loved about this book was that it was split up into three different categories; the birth of champions, the making of champions and when champions rise. The birth of champions was when you really got to read about Logan and Solomon's story of where they started out in terms of their parents and just how different their lives would soon become. The making of champions was Logan and Solomon's own stories on their rise to becoming the Olympians they have always dreamed of being. And the book ends with when champions rise, it's Logan and Solomon's story of what happens when they can both see their dreams within reach.
        It was such an interesting twist reading the lives of Logan's and Solomon's parents stories from the parents themselves instead of from Logan and Solomon. As a reader you are better able to see just what went into making these two the people that they would become before they were even born. With each section I found myself getting more and more interested in their story and before I knew it the story was over. This is definitely a book that I would recommend reading.
