Veil Knights #5
Cloak of Fury
The line between fantasy and reality is blurring…
Rick Fury is down on his luck. A seasoned covert operative, the last six months have seen him bungling missions, exposing his identity, and hurting those who he once cared for while crazy visions have turned his instincts to mush. Now, on the outs with his CIA bosses, Fury needs a break.
A man named Dante Grimm offers him a chance to join a brotherhood of knights tasked with holding back the darkness and a horde of enemies far worse than any of the terrorists and spies Fury has faced in the past, creatures straight out of the depths of hell itself.
Skeptical, Fury agrees to find something for an old leather jacket that may or may not be a crucial tool for helping battle back the demons that are soon to tear into this world.
Under the streets of Boston’s Chinatown, Fury sets out on his quest, finds a colleague to guide him, and hears rumors of an enemy sorcerer after the same leather jacket that soon prove to be true.
In a race against time, Fury must contend with otherworldly enemies, regrets over his misconduct, and the terrifying possibility that everything he ever dismissed as fiction, is in fact, all too real.
Arthurian myth meets urban fantasy in this new series from Rowan Casey!

I hate to say that I was disappointed in the third book of the Veil Knights series . Rick Fury, the third knight to be spotlighted, is supposed to be a bad ass CIA field operative. Instead, he spends the better part of book three mentally wringing his hands and second guessing himself. He might be nice guy somewhere under all of that angst but he is not a credible secret agent, especially when he goes around running his mouth off to every person he meets. Nobody in their right mind would entrust this guy with national security issues.

Really enjoying this series of books that take an old legend of Merlin and the knights of the round table and give it a modern day twist. Each book is a separate story about one individual that all ties in to the over arching goal. Rick Fury was a favourite of mine so far - an intense character with self doubt but a good heart. Looking forward to the next book!

I'm not sure this review can be trusted.
I read this book while visiting my family for the memorial service of my brother. Therefore, a book which might otherwise be impossible to put down kept getting set aside, mentally and physically, to be replaced with grief. So under other circumstances, I might have given this book five stars. I do wish we got to revisit these characters more. Each book so far has been about a new character, and each has left me wanting more of that character. As this book says, only time will tell.

Easy read.
Reminds me of the Alex Archer series . Fun and entertaining. I will probably read the rest of the series to see what happens.

I didn't care for this book in the Veil Knights series. Fury was a bland character, rather than the aggressive black ops type I would have expected. The story line was good, but the character seemed so unqualified for the circumstances he found himself in and the ending was flat. The author has a good writing style which made this a good read, but not an exciting one.

Book 3 is about Nick Fury, a CIA agent in trouble of his own making because he gets caught up with women. Specifically, soccer moms. He was supposed to be working but he got infatuated and hacked her computer to keep tabs on her and was found out. Not a good look for a CIA operative and he's kind of in limbo about keeping his job. Laying low is a good idea. Then Dante Grimm tells him about magic and the Knights and wants to send him on a quest. Nick does not believe in magic or any of this other crap Dante is talking about. However, Dante keeps proving that magic is real. And the "gut feeling" that has saved Fury's life on many occasions is a part of being the Knight. Thought Nick doesn't like it, he's off on a quest. Each book's character is so different and I like that. Several authors took part in writing this series and it shows. And it's great!

I was a little put out about the introduction of a love interest, but it was still a good read. The levels of betrayal surprised me, but I think they were very artfully done and with the lore thrown into it, was really fascinating!

Very interesting story.
Love the fact that this series is based on the Knights of the round table. Each book is well written and a joy to read.

Another great story in this series, but with a little more snark added in and how can you go wrong with snark?
This is the third in the series and I'm hooked, can't wait for number 4

This is my favorite of the series so far. Rick Fury is a great character. his personality has alot of depth. It not a long book but is a very good read. I read it in less than 24 hours. couldn't put it down.

Love the series! I can't say I prefer one book over another, as each is completely different, but the goal is the same, and the final quest is to bring all the special artifacts together. A lot of introspection in this one, no belief in magic to start with, and no knowledge at all of whatever special abilities Rick might have. it would have been nice to explore this aspect a bit more. Maybe in a future book?
