Well didn't that begin with a bang. Lux has a rough run. Those who are supposed to care and support her do the exact opposite. Theo and Lux have a complicated relationship. Lux has always looked up to Theo but they have a push and pull dynamic that they only allow with each other.
When it comes to crunch time Theo is in Lux's corner. When things explode they both need to find a way to pick up the pieces.
The majority of the book is set in past and present and then there is the ending which has a time delay as events are resolved. A great read.

S Massery has done it again my friends! I swear her books just keep getting better and better. Wild Fury is the last book in the Fallen Royals series and it does not disappoint. It is the perfect way to end the series and with the perfect couple! This story has angst, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and an epically amazing enemies-to-lovers story behind it all. Theo and Lux’s story is the perfect way to end the series. They are by far my favorite couple of the Fallen Royals series. I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to beat Caleb and Margo, but these two did!
Lucille “Lux” Page is an amazing female lead character. She’s the type of person that does not care what other people think about her and does what she wants. At the same time, she’s also the girl that just wants her family to love her, to want her. It makes me sad that she never had that from her family. Her parents pawned her off on her grandparents at a young so that they could raise her, while her parents raised Amelie (yes, THAT Amelie). She never really connected with her sister to form a close relationship and she never had one with her parents. The only person that ever really stuck around was Theo and they had such a push and pull type of relationship. Sometimes I got whiplash from them, but in a good way! Lux fought hard to try and be in charge of her own life, but the world had other plans for her. She didn’t let that stop her though. She forged ahead even when times got rough and she had to be separated from the ones she loved. She fought to discover who she was as a person and who she wanted to be. I truly loved everything about Lux’s character. She could be rough around the edges, but underneath it all, she had a really good heart (even if it doesn’t seem like it at times). I loved her confidence and epic comebacks. She did not take crap from anyone (besides her parents because they were her weakness and she just wanted them to love her) and was uniquely herself. She dressed how she wanted, talked how she wanted, and acted like a total boss. It was amazing to watch this girl turn into a pretty epic woman. I loved watching her grow and take charge of her own life. Lux’s character was pretty epic from the start and only continued to become more amazing throughout the story. She is definitely my favorite female lead of the series.
Theo Alistair is dark, twisted, and everything I didn’t know I needed. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from Theo in his story. He was always such a mystery and closed off whenever he appeared in the other books. I was so excited to get a peek inside his mind during Wild Fury. No part of me was disappointed. I found myself drawn to his darkness. I don’t know why. Maybe because his darkness is not because he’s a bad person, but because he has struggles like everyone else. Throughout the story, he was always worried that there was nothing beyond the darkness and pain that he felt. That he was nothing beyond that, but he was. Goodness gracious he was. His character really spoke to me for some reason. He is much more reserved than others, he’s quiet, he has a very small group of close friends, he doesn’t like to really interact with many people, he can be distant at times, but underneath all that is a person who is willing to do anything for the people he loves. His character just called to a part of my soul. I can relate to him on many levels because I have many of the same struggles that he does. Theo’s character development was amazing to watch unfold. It was very slow progress, but totally worth it in the end. I think that’s part of the reason I love him so much. He wormed his way into my heart and I never want him to leave!
Theo and Lux together are FIRE! Holy moly. The chemistry, angst, passion, and tension between these two is unbelievable. They’ve been playing this game of cat and mouse since high school and I do not know how they have not combusted before now (the story is during the college years). I’m pretty sure I would have burst into flames if I were either one of them. I had to fan myself multiple times in the story. These two are so perfect for one another. They each have dark and lonely sides to themselves that seems to call to one another. Theo and Lux seem to understand one another in a way that no one else does. They each believe they are unworthy of love, which couldn’t be further from the truth. They both deserve love and they deserve to have it with each other. The angst between these two about killed me. It was intense, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. When these two finally figured it out, I almost cheered (honestly, there’s a chance I did cheer out loud lol). Theo and Lux together just made me so happy. I didn’t know that I needed these two until S Massery wrote their story. I need more of them. I would love to see how their love grows and strengthens over time. I need MORE Theo and Lux. These two are by far my favorite couple of the ENTIRE series. I loved Caleb and Margo, but something about Theo and Lux spoke to me on a deeper level. They wormed their way into my heart and I don’t think they will ever leave. #theoandluxownmysoul
Overall, I rate this book a 5/5! If I could give it more stars, I would. I absolutely fell in love with Theo and Lux and their journey. Wild Fury was the perfect way to end the Fallen Royals series. I’m sad the series is done, but now I can reread the entire series anytime I want! I absolutely adored this series and discovered a new genre to enjoy, bully romances. Well done S Massery! I can’t wait to see where you take us next.

S. Massery always delivers. When the first chapter has you going “Oh my god”, you know it’s going to be good.
“I want your darkness,” I call. “All of it. I’ll dive through it until I find something more.”
His laugh drifts back toward me. “There is nothing more.”
I loved Theo and Lucy together. This was definitely another page turner. Half the book is highlighted.
“He’s figured out a new way to get under my skin—like he doesn’t live there full time anyway. He’s going to try and make me fall in love with him, and that’s when he’ll crush me for real. It won’t work, though. I know I’m not worth loving. So even if I do fall, I know he won’t catch me.”

*arc provided for an honest review*
I’ve been anticipating Wild Fury since it was mentioned that it was going to be Theo’s book and honestly I didn’t expect any of it. This book definitely took me by surprise in the best way.
Wild Fury has a bit of a different vibe from the series. I enjoyed many aspects of the book and how the characters felt about certain things that happened or was happening. It was interesting to read their character development throughout the chapters!! Theo and Lucy have these characteristics that make them fit together so well. The moments they had were my favorite in the book because of the way they know each other on a deeper level that people around them won’t understand.
While it is a stand-alone in a series, we do come across some characters from the previous books and that was really nice! Wild Fury really is an epic conclusion to the series. The series started off in the best way, with secrets and mysterious characters, and it ended off with the best closure. To the characters and the story.

A let down
I finished the book today, couldn't wait for it's release. I have to say, the story lacked. Over half the book was like watching a tennis match with the emotions between Lux and Theo. It lacked the depth needed to keep the story interesting. I found nyself skipping over parts, to find the spark between the characters. It was probably, the loathing, anger and self destruction that kept it from being a better read. The depth wasn't enough, and it should have been a longer book. Too short to develop the characters true emotions that each character needed to represent.

Holy Moley! What a Wild and Furious story. Wild Fury by S. Massery is book six of the Fallen Royals series. It was an exhilarating push and pull story between two broken individuals that only see the darkness in each other. This was a one-day book read. I could NOT put it down. It’s a slow burn and the incredibly hot parts aren’t till the very end but, WOW! The build up is smoldering so hot you just know it’s going to be explosive. I loved Theo Alistair, he is grumpy and snarky and overbearing, Ya know everything that a good alpha-hole should be. Theo is one that always must be in control, but he is very subtle with it, not the “in your face kind of guy”. Lucy (Lux) is hard core on the outside and doesn’t let anyone in except Theo. I could not get over how S. Massery has written the dynamics between the couple (not that they are a couple). There’s a thin line between love and hate and Massery makes sure that Lux and Theo teeter there throughout the whole book. It is not necessary to read the other five books in the Fallen Royals series, but you will be missing out if you don’t. 5- stars for Wild Fury by S. Massery.
Lucy (Lux) Page and Theo Alistair shared a traumatic experience when they were younger. Something that brought their darkness out and somehow draws them to each other. Years later Lux and Theo are forced together again but this time their traumatic experience might be the end to one of them if not both. Theo will do anything to protect Lux, he hates her, but she is his to hate and his to torment. Lux can’t be around Theo without the shadows of their past haunting them. Now with outside forces pushing them further apart Theo is about to unleash a Wild Fury to keep Lux near him. Lux refuses to bring Theo down with her and will fight tooth and nail to make sure she frees him from the darkness that has surrounded her and swallowed her whole.

I have been not so patiently waiting for Theo's book since we were first introduced to him. He has this quiet darkness about him that just calls to me.
Massery delivered an angsty, heart wrenching story, but it was nothing like I expected it to be. It just had a different feel from the other books in the series. While I expected it to be the darkest of the six, that wasn't the case. I feel that it provoked more feelings than the others did though. Reading Lux's POV about not being loved/wanted definitely pulled at my heart strings. I hated that she felt so disposable for most of the book. And while Theo may have been emotionally challenged, his protective side was next level. His darkness called to Lux and vice versa.
These two have a connection that is undeniable. They know each other like the back of their hands. Their connection is much deeper than physical, they can finish each others thoughts and I loved that about them. Their journey was not an easy one but worth it in the end.
I loved that we were able to see the rest of the characters from the Fallen Royals series. I love this series and Wild Fury was a great addition.

WOW...........I might need a minute here to collect my thoughts.
S. Massery just blew me away with this frenemies to lovers, bully, dark romance. I have been devouring the Fallen Royals series since she first debuted it. Each book has been better than the last. S. Massery is quickly becoming a master of Dark Romance.
Theo and Lux's relationship has intrigued me from the initial Fallen Royals trilogy. With that being said, their book wasn't one I was looking forward to as much as the others. I mean, it is a new S Massery book, and I always look forward to those, but Theo's book wasn't as high on my list of her coming soon books as some of the others. Now that I have read it, I can't believe I thought I could wait longer for this story than some of the others.
I loved Lux and Theo's push and pull relationship. The way they both have a dark/broken side. With their story it wasn't him bullying her until they finally formed a relationship. She gave him just as much hell as he gave her. I loved what a strong female character she was.
This book wrecked my emotions, in a good way. I don't normally associate the term angst with dark romances, but this one to me felt full of it. Then the end.......OMG.....the end.
That is all I can say about this book without giving anything away. I would hate to spoil this book for anyone. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!

*ARC REVIEW*
What a book!! I believe this one in the series has taken 1st place in my heart. It’s twisted and dark and has two badass main characters. Let me introduce you to them: first you have Theo Alistair who is quiet, sexy as sin and has a darkness to him that just calls you in and fascinates you. Then you have Lucy Page (or Lux) who is wild, stubborn, beautiful and just might very well be a little psychopath.
Their push and pull story is soo beautifully written and has just the right amount of darkness and intrigue to make you not want to put the book down. Theo Alistair and Lucy Page have a darkness in them that calls to each other and the more you get into their story, the more their obsession and little game they play comes to light.
Lucy Page is strong, stubborn and pure chaos and I love how different she is from the other heroines in the other books. Theo Alistair, well there are so many things i could say about him but it’s better to read his story and get captured in his world.
This story will drag you in from the very first chapter and let me just say hold on and be ready to have your mind blown and your heart experience so many emotions you just don’t know how to cope! I would love to write more about this story but I’ll just end up writing about all the things that happen and giving it away.

Audio Review:
Wild Fury (Fallen Royals, Book 6) is the final book in the Fallen Royals series and the ending perfectly. Theo and Lix's story is a little different and just wow! S. Massery is a fabulous writer and this book is just a glimpse of her talent. Bursting with angst, intrigue, mystery and suspense seeping through the pages. A epic enemies-to-lovers; Theo and Lux's push and pull relationship is a amazing dark read. I love the writing style, and the epiloge was the icing on the cake.
Laurie West, Christian Black dual narration was the perfect cast to perform this story. The story is character driven and Laurie and Christian brought out the characters edginess and personalities. Laurie's inflection is sweet and Christian's deep baritone matches perfectly with Laurie's intonation bringing the story and the characters to reality.

I thoroughly enjoyed this standalone book in the fallen royals series! I read it in one sitting because I needed to know what was going to happen next! Theo and Lux have danced around each other since middle school and they finally reconnect during college when Lux ends up in his vicinity. I really loved the flashbacks that gave us insight into the build up of their relationship. And Theo was just so swoony in how protective he was of Lux. I also liked that Lux wasn't this perfect character, she had her own hang ups (mostly caused by her family) which just made me root for her. And of course, the connections to the characters from previous books was great! Definitely recommend!

She saw him when the darkness invaded her, and since then it's always been about him.
He didn't truly notice her until high school but then she became something he couldn't ignore no matter what.
They shared a promise, that was born to be broken but would it ever happen?
Oh wow so many dark hearts and all in one place too! fantastic!
This is the sixth book in the fallen royals series. Books one to three are a trilogy whilst the remaining books are interconnected standalones.
You don't have to read the standalones in order but you will get more out of the series if you do.
There's not much lightness to this book. It's very dark, brooding and full of abandonment issues.
Moments of pettiness and cutting comments ricochet around a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat
Theo and Lux bounce off each other much like a cat and mouse game. Each vying to be the top dog, and have the last say. But that only added to the attraction of this book.
There was only really one thing I didnt like about this and that was the time lapse sections.
All in all though another fantastic addition to a well loved series.

Imagine my surprise when I genuinely LIKE the title and believe that it represents the book better than all the previous titles in this series. And it can even be argued that the ENTIRE book falls under the emotion of wild fury
THE BOOK AS A WHOLE
This book has been my favourite from the entire series. For some reason, the author wrote the chemistry between the characters, the plot lines, and the problem as something that was both romantic but dark.
HOWEVER, even if I loved the story as a whole, I still absolutely ABHORRED how, Massery, in ALL her books, solves the problem at 95% of the book, gets our main leads together by 99% and the final 1% is saved for wrapping things up. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH! Only Caleb and Margo’s story was done right and that was because their story was a trilogy. But honestly, I would’ve preferred a BETTER and LONGER reunion after 2 years. Like we only get 2 days and a month skip? NO! I want to see MORE of them! I want to see them solve the problem TOGETHER not have Theo mope around and Lux playing detective.
I also feel like there were some unnecessary plot points:
1. Hale and Seb’s situation: it was a waste of pages, and honestly the whole revenge plot was FOR LITERAL NOTHING because it wasn’t relevant ENOUGH . Like yes, we got some CUTE Theo x Lux moments from this, but still. I prefer the author focus on one conflict, rather than 5+ at the same time. And this would’ve been a nice arc if they somehow had connection to the actual big conflict, played a role in it somehow (like instead of Felicity, they did it) or this was an intro to other prospective male leads.
2. The secret society: so are we just going to ignore that exists, and the potential it could’ve had on the story? Ok. Moving on.
3. LBU West: so what was the point of her staying at college for literally 2 seconds before being whisked away?
4. Amy: are we also going to collectively ignore the fact that Lux became a WHOLE detective, and not even some small town type, but doing favours for the top people kind of. I was pretty proud of her, but again, felt like this whole job thing could’ve been expanded and perhaps put to use.
LUCILE aka LUX aka LITTLE MONSTER
Let me just start off by my most FAVOURITE thing about romance novels, the NICKNAMES . I absolutely adore both the nicknames Theo gave Lux and especially LOVED the reasoning behind it. Although, I have to say that I saw that reason from the start. I mean Lux=light is something everyone knows (well except the iconic Lux herself) but yeah, I love how through this, you could clearly see him pointing out that SHE is the only one in the whole world that can drive out his demons, his anger and his darkness. And even more, that she herself, can be the one to drive out her OWN darkness, because under all those steel bars, there light in her, there’s the child that wanted nothing more than love and attention but no one was willing to give her that.
I LOVE Lux’s character and I’m so glad that she was paired with Theo because there is NO ONE who would be able to withstand his darkness. The converse is also true.
I love her steadfastness, her stubbornness but also how perceptive she is of others.
I also LOVED her with Seb because she acknowledged that he was hot but she also acknowledged how much of a douche he was and that the only reason he was even remotely attracted to her or chasing after was because his ego was hurt. He wasn’t used to getting rejected. And let me tell you, her way of dealing with him was SPECTACULAR and so so so smart!
Well, she’s not wrong.
I love how at the end of the book we get to see her send a video call to her parents, who rightfully deserve each and every mean word she spouts because they didn’t just fail ONE daughter, but TWO!
I have to say that Amelie and her grandparents aren’t on my good book either because from what I see, one was too busy keeping up her reputation and drowning in her own misery to take notice of someone else even MORE miserable and neglected. And the other, were forced to take care of said impudent child when they most likely didn’t have a knack for it, nor the extra love and attention for it. I do understand that Amelie and her grandparents do love her and they are probably not as bad as her parents for neglecting her CONTINUOUSLY but the situation was in front of them and they never tried to make it better, just allowed her to drown in a sea of darkness as they watched on the sidelines.
I freaking LOVE her for stealing cars, it was such a badass move, not to mention how she conveniently has Theo’s spare key. And him knowing that fact, acknowledging it so normal in the previous book as well, it was plain ADORABLE! But you know what was even more adorable, her stealing his car AGAIN knowing that would alert him of her disappearance. And I know she wanted to send the message of goodbye, but even Theo knew that was a complete BS, deep down, she wanted to let him know that it was safe for him to come find her now, that she was nearby and if he loved her too, then to come find her.
THEO
I love a good twisted yet cunning man and with the way he dealt with BOTH Seb and Hale after being threatens shows to me that he not only is a calm storm ready to blow over everyone, but also A LOT more sharp and resourceful than the other boys.
I do, however, feel like him just waiting for Lux to return and just drowning in misery wasn’t very nice to read. Like are you telling me that whatever you did wasn’t enough? And what DID you do? Like all I could read was him upset she was gone and just mad. Like why aren’t you running around, calling up connections, threatening the DeSantis?
LUX x THEO
I love their match. They are THE definition of like attracts like because certainly yes! Their darkness, their shared trauma and their pure compatibility with how they dealt with it was so so perfectly aligned with each other it was mind blowing.
I do believe that Theo only THOUGHT that he was incapable of loving Lux and giving her what she deserved, but I know that they both equally loved each other from the start. Possessiveness may not always equal love, but the way they weren’t only territorial of each other but also couldn’t stand to be too close for to long because deep down they both knew that they would be testing their boundaries, their steel walls.
Whilst Lux was willing to take the jump, Theo wasn’t. And that fear emerged from his own fury, his doubt if he would unintentionally hurt Lux past the limit. Break her. And perhaps that’s why they are even more perfect as a pair, because no matter the harsh way he treated her, she was resilient. She was exactly what he needed.
Are you telling me that we hear this right of the bat!? I was on the floor, in giddy. I wish we could’ve seen more of this. Theo without restraint speaking what he REALLY felt about her.
I absolutely LOVED how he went ahead and torched the body, thus preventing the remains of any evidence. Not to mention how quickly he was ready to bring the man to life and unalive him again. Like you, my good sir, are madly in love, you cannot become partners in crime without that first checkpoint. I also feel like her trauma from that night were quickly overlooked and not mentioned enough, like mind you, she’s still a teenager, no one should expect her to get over it so quickly.
Oof. This was hard to read. Because in actuality, both Theo and Lux couldn’t start a relationship despite their affection for each other because of their own insecurities. Whilst Theo feared losing control and breaking Lux. Lux was convinced that she was incapable of love. These two babies!! I’m glad they got their HEA!
I WISH we could’ve seen more of the voicemails or text messages because I’m a sucker for these miserable notes like the emotions it carried and that paired with the fact he called her whilst he was right behind her. My heart was thumping SO HARD in this scene.
BEST SCENES:
⭐️ The first meeting after being away for 2 years, where he calls her whilst being right behind her and just carries her to his Appartment.
⭐️ The bath scene.
⭐️ The forest scene where he isn’t supposed to be interacting with her as part of the deal but does it anyways. And not to mention how he tells her to stay put for 2 weeks.
⭐️ When he admits that she’s his lucky charm!!
OTHER
I wish we could’ve seen more of Theo’s mother, she seems like such a cool lady and I was actually hoping to see more of her.
I genuinely feel like Ruby could’ve been potential friend to Lux. But I guess with all her secrets, it was near impossible. And I did like her, until she indirectly admitted to snooping around her things. Not cool.
I love how at the end we saw the whole gang come together. Especially because Lux would now have a big family that would GENUINELY care for her because these girls, they’ve gone through so much as well, so I’m pretty sure she’ll fit in pretty well. Though, I wish we could’ve seen that a bit more.
I feel like the whole DeSantis plot point might be explored better with Amelie’s story and I’m not too bothered by the way they solved the situation. Although, I am a bit peeved that Lux and Theo had to be apart for so long. And Jameson certainly seems like a nice enough guy.

LUCILE aka LUX aka LITTLE MONSTER
“It means light. Because you’re full of it, and I felt it. All the time. Even if you thought you were full of demons.”
Let me just start off by my most FAVOURITE thing about romance novels, the NICKNAMES . I absolutely adore both the nicknames Theo gave Lux and especially LOVED the reasoning behind it. Although, I have to say that I saw that reason from the start. I mean Lux=light is something everyone knows (well except the iconic Lux herself) but yeah, I love how through this, you could clearly see him pointing out that SHE is the only one in the whole world that can drive out his demons, his anger and his darkness. And even more, that she herself, can be the one to drive out her OWN darkness, because under all those steel bars, there light in her, there’s the child that wanted nothing more than love and attention but no one was willing to give her that.
I fixate. It’s what I’m good at. But around Theo, I seem to have glitched.
I LOVE Lux’s character and I’m so glad that she was paired with Theo because there is NO ONE who would be able to withstand his darkness. The converse is also true.
At this rate, I can’t expect
her to, but... I guess I thought we were going to be friends. Not torn apart by this secret. She’s being pulled into another world, and I’m just going to be left behind.
Again, a little voice in the back of my head reminds me. Amelie left me, too. My parents. Hell, even my grandparents opted to give me back and move away. The only home I knew until I was seventeen was sold out from under my feet, and they didn’t give me a say.
I love her steadfastness, her stubbornness but also how perceptive she is of others.
And while he’s cute, and mildly intriguing, something inside me is irritated with him. I shouldn’t have danced with him. Plain and simple. It was fun while I was in a drunken haze, but sober Lucy is embarrassed for herself.
I also LOVED her with Seb because she acknowledged that he was hot but she also acknowledged how much of a douche he was and that the only reason he was even remotely attracted to her or chasing after was because his ego was hurt. He wasn’t used to getting rejected. And let me tell you, her way of dealing with him was SPECTACULAR and so so so smart!
I lower the drink without tasting it. I told him I didn’t want a drink. It’s like men are incapable of listening sometimes.
Well, she’s not wrong.
I love how at the end of the book we get to see her send a video call to her parents, who rightfully deserve each and every mean word she spouts because they didn’t just fail ONE daughter, but TWO!
I have to say that Amelie and her grandparents aren’t on my good book either because from what I see, one was too busy keeping up her reputation and drowning in her own misery to take notice of someone else even MORE miserable and neglected. And the other, were forced to take care of said impudent child when they most likely didn’t have a knack for it, nor the extra love and attention for it. I do understand that Amelie and her grandparents do love her and they are probably not as bad as her parents for neglecting her CONTINUOUSLY but the situation was in front of them and they never tried to make it better, just allowed her to drown in a sea of darkness as they watched on the sidelines.
With a sigh, I park Sebastian’s car in a grocery store lot a few blocks away and lock the keys in it. I’m sure he’ll figure out a way to get it back— it’s got GPS enabled, anyway, and he’s surrounded by Devereuxs. If he can’t afford to find it, Ruby or Hale can.
I freaking LOVE her for stealing cars, it was such a badass move, not to mention how she conveniently has Theo’s spare key. And him knowing that fact, acknowledging it so normal in the previous book as well, it was plain ADORABLE! But you know what was even more adorable, her stealing his car AGAIN knowing that would alert him of her disappearance.

LUX x THEO
He was different.
Like me.
And I needed to understand him more than I needed to understand anything in my life.
I love their match. They are THE definition of like attracts like because certainly yes! Their darkness, their shared trauma and their pure compatibility with how they dealt with it was so so perfectly aligned with each other it was mind blowing.
“Lux, he didn’t just threaten me...” Theo laces his fingers with mine. “He threatened us.”
I do believe that Theo only THOUGHT that he was incapable of loving Lux and giving her what she deserved, but I know that they both equally loved each other from the start. Possessiveness may not always equal love, but the way they weren’t only territorial of each other but also couldn’t stand to be too close for to long because deep down they both knew that they would be testing their boundaries, their steel walls.
Whilst Lux was willing to take the jump, Theo wasn’t. And that fear emerged from his own fury, his doubt if he would unintentionally hurt Lux past the limit. Break her. And perhaps that’s why they are even more perfect as a pair, because no matter the harsh way he treated her, she was resilient. She was exactly what he needed.
“What?” I meet his gaze.
“You’re beautiful,” he says quietly. Then, “Stop looking at me like that.”
Are you telling me that we hear this right of the bat!? I was on the floor, in giddy. I wish we could’ve seen more of this. Theo without restraint speaking what he REALLY felt about her.
“To, what, be a morally just white knight? Or worse, do something just
to spite you?” He snorts. “No. You killed someone who touched you? Good. If you hadn’t, I certainly would. I’m not nice, Lux, but you and I... We’re in this together. Whatever this is.”
I absolutely LOVED how he went ahead and torched the body, thus preventing the remains of any evidence. Not to mention how quickly he was ready to bring the man to life and unalive him again. Like you, my good sir, are madly in love, you cannot become partners in crime without that first checkpoint. I also feel like her trauma from that night were quickly overlooked and not mentioned enough, like mind you, she’s still a teenager, no one should expect her to get over it so quickly.
No one wants to love me... least of all, Theo Alistair.
Oof. This was hard to read. Because in actuality, both Theo and Lux couldn’t start a relationship despite their affection for each other because of their own insecurities. Whilst Theo feared losing control and breaking Lux. Lux was convinced that she was incapable of love. These two babies!! I’m glad they got their HEA!
“Sorry, little monster,” he says.

4,5⭐️ Ich glaub die beiden sind mein favourite Couple gleich nach Eli und Riley oder sogar gleich? Man hat in den anderen Büchern ja mitbekommen das Theo einen „groll“ gegenüber ein bestimmtes Mädchen hat, Lux aka Lucy. Eine Push-Pull Geschichte, wurde gut umgesetzt, jedoch dachte ich das Theo ein etwas mehr dunkler Charakter ist nachdem er so in den anderen Büchern beschrieben wurde aber nop sein Charakter ist eigentlich so wie der seiner Freunde Caleb, Eli & Liam. Lucy hingegen war ein Charakter den ich gerne gelesen habe.
Kurze Zusammenfassung: Die Story beginnt damit das Lux bei der Verlobungsfeier ihrer Schwester ist, sie wird dann von einen Mann in den Hinterhof/garten? gelockt da er meinte die wollten Familienfotos machen was nicht der fall war, er hat sie angefasst und wollte mehr. Lucy hat sich verteidigt und der Mann ist nach hinten gefallen und gestorben, war nicht ihre Absicht. Sie hat ne Ausrede ihrer Schwester gesagt und ist gegangen, auf dem Weg hat sie Theo angerufen, der sie dann nach Hause gefahren hat und den Mann später in brand gesetzt hat. (Well that was actually cute 🤷🏻♀️🥰) Next Day haben ihre Eltern es erfahren und sie weg geschickt auf eine Uni, auf die selbe wie die von Theo, Theo ist ein Jahr über ihr. Dort im Campus wirft ein Kerl Sebastian, selben Jahrgang wie Theo, einen Blick auf Lucy und will mit ihr ausgehen, bzw will Theo ein auswischen nachdem er gesehen hat das sie ihm viel bedeutet. Damit ist der Typ nicht weit gekommen da Lucy nur Augen für Theo hat und Theo der gezwungen war Lucy für zwei Wochen nicht näher zukommen hatte einen Plan um Sebastian zu zerstören. Lux und Theo, eher Lux tries to push his button und yeah sie klaut sein Auto und parkt es irgendwo, sie will seine Aufmerksamkeit was sie dann auch bekommt, denn Theo liebt seine Autos. Sidenote: Keiner von Lucys Familie schenkt ihr Aufmerksamkeit, alle Augen auf Amellie ihrer Schwester) Paar Tage kurz vor der deathline der Wette war ein Football spiel, dort ist sein Plan dann aufgegangen, er hat Seb das Bein gebrochen aber so ausgehen lassen als sei es Sebs eigene Schuld, Sahne on top hat er Steroide oder war es Testosteron? in der Tasche von dem Typen versteckt und ihn die paar Tage davor damit eingeflößt.
Lucy wird von ihrem Mafia Schwager weggebracht/gezwungen die Stadt zu verlassen da die Polizei sonst drauf kommst das sie den Typen auf der Feier getötet hat, sie hat eingewilligt aber nur ungern und ist mitgegangen. Theo on the other hand war sehr aufgewühlt und wütend das seine Lucy nun weg ist. Er hat sie die ersten paar Monate gesucht aber nicht gefunden. Zeitsprung zwei Jahre später, vor dem Gericht wurde ein Man verschuldet den Mord an dem Typen begangen zu haben und Lucy ist als einer der Reportern dabei, sie fühlt sich schuldig das ein „unschuldiger“ Mann für sie ins Gefängnis geht, während der Zeit ist sie untergetaucht (bzw Mafia Schwager Familie hat ihr eine neue Identität gegeben) als Amy Prague, nun ist sie zurück in Boston als Lucy, sie geht dort ihr Handy von der cloud auf ein neues Handy laden, dort findet sie drei Sprachnachichten die sie abhört von Theo. Aus dem nichts ruft er sie dann an und sie geht ran, doch dann steht er hinter ihr, bevor sie weg rennen kann wirft er sie über die Schulter und nimmt sie mit zu seinem Apartment, dort sprechen sie sich aus und erklären sich gegenseitig die Liebe. Die anderen drei Paare kommen in dem Buch auch noch paar mal kurz vor. die Geschichte von den beiden spielt in der selben Zeit wie die von Liam und Sky. Also sind sie nun bei einer Wocheish nach Skys Entführung.
Meine Meinung: Mir hat das Temperament von Theo gefehlt sowie er in den anderen Büchern beschrieben wurde, habe mich echt gefreut seine Story zu lesen aber naja sein temperament war genauso wie das seiner Freunde, kalt, possessiv, ein soft spot für sein Girl. Overall hab ich die Gesichte gerne gelesen (mir ist aufgefallen die Girls werden alle irgendwie gekidnappt oder festgehalten xD) hätte bei den beiden Paaren mehr erwartet aber nachdem Caleb und Margo die mainstory sind nehme ich an das es bei denen etwas gemildert worden ist. Das Buch als Standalone zu lesen wird meiner Meinung nach wahrscheinlich etwas verwirrend sein mit den sidestorys der anderen Charaktere obwohl man könnte eigentlich gut mitkommen.
Mein Ranking für die Bücher
Caleb und Margo
Liam und Sky
Theo und Lux
Eli und Riley
Mein Ranking für die Couples
Liam+Sky & Theo+ Lux
Eli+Riley & Caleb+Margo
Eigentlich so wie sich die besten Freund verstehen Liam mit Theo und Caleb mit Eli
Die ganze Buchreihe kriegt eine 5/5⭐️

She is one of very few that sees the darkness that lies underneath the surface, the darkness that he hides from everyone else around him. When Lux looks at Theo she recognizes the pain in his eyes, as she carries the same look in her own. He uses his pain as a shield, keeping everyone at an arm's length, never letting them close enough to see his vulnerability. He deflects with attitude and snark, and gives off a strong and controlling air. As does she... which is what bonds them.
He pushes her away every time she wanders too close, tries to scare her with his bad attitude, but she gives as good as she gets... never letting the fear her tries to stir up push her away. They have a love/hate relationship, one that constantly causes tension between them. But it's their darkness that keeps drawing them to one another...
Wild Fury is a slow burn romance that will torture you in the best possible way. The angst is high, the tension smothering, and the passion smoldering... these two bring it all to the pages! These two carry around a lot of hurt, a bone deep pain that only the other knows about and understands, and it is the one thing that unites them. They have a special kind of relationship, one riddled with hate and distaste for one another, but their is also compassion because of what they endured a long time ago. They keep each other at an arm's length, with their guard always up, and always ready to exchange hateful words. There is a intense push and pull between them, a yo-yo effect that constantly has them getting just close enough to touch, and then jerked away at the last minute. I loved watching them go to battle, test each other's boundaries, exchange heated words, and push each other's buttons... it was an intense and addictive little war. If you like dark romances heavy on angst, tension, and heart torturing emotion then I highly suggest you pick this one up... it's bound to give you everything your looking for and more!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my unbiased and honest opinion.

Wild Fury
Fallen Royals, Book 6
By: S. Massery
Narrated by: Laurie West, Christian Black
This series has been fantastic! This is the last book in the Fallen Royals and I am going to miss them all! S. Massery gives us Lux and Theo in this one, and their story had my heart, sometimes aching and sometimes soaring. These two have know each other since childhood, experiencing tragedy that both keeps them close and drives them apart. Their love-hate relationship is an incredible mask to the deepness of their feelings even from a young age, But each year, the push pull keeps them at a distance. The devastation in their lives continues, and from afar, Theo keeps tabs on his girl. But when she disappears, life changes. Will these two find their way back and will it be happy? I found myself having that pit in my stomach as I listened to this one. I was happy, and frustrated and in love and angry all at the same time, wanting to shake them both and find the happy medium. Massery is such an amazing author, she kept me guessing and on edge, and it's the best feeling. It's the perfect ending to an incredible series.
Laurie West and Christian Black bring all the feels to this story. It's emotionally driven and both give their characters and edginess that keeps them at a distance, but that underlying feeling of love lingers. Their chemistry is evident as the story progresses and it makes the for a true feeling of the real struggle these two were going through. Cast perfectly, this is an amazing listen.
Fallen Royals, Book 6
By: S. Massery

This series has been fantastic! This is the last book in the Fallen Royals and I am going to miss them all! S. Massery gives us Lux and Theo in this one, and their story had my heart, sometimes aching and sometimes soaring.

OMG I have been in book love with Theo since Wicked Dreams!!! This book was just amazing S. Massery does not disappoint with the conclusion of this series. I am so glad I own all these books so I can go back and read them again. Theo and Lucy are just eh perfect yin and yang in this book. Their chemistry is off the charts. I love how their magnetism is a push and a pull for both of them.
Lucy is a quirky girl and knows that she is different from everyone else. I love her fire that she brought to the story. She was just trying to survive life and just wanting to feel loved by her family. I never though that her and her sister Amelie would be as close as they were but you really get a good look at the Queen B from the first book.
Theo is the quite on of his friends. I always have a book crush on the quite one of the group in books like this. He was exactly what you would want a dark knight that rode in to save you if you needed him. He was ruthless and never gave up until he got what he wanted. I loved how he was determined to fight his feelings for Lucy but always was there to help when he knew he shouldn't.
Their story was amazing!!!! If you haven't read this series and found this book read the whole series. It is the right amount of bullying, enemies to lovers, action, mystery and the best HEA's for each book. Thank you S. Massery for a great series!!!

Great finish to a series
In a way, this is probably the most important book in the Fallen Royals series. Lux has been in the background right through this series, hints about Theo and stolen cars. Not only that, but it now acts as an introduction to the Desantis Mafia series.
I found myself a bit confused during this book. There was a bit on around secret societies, and then the individual histories of Lux and Theo.
The secret society stuff felt unnecessary and superfluous, it didn't seem to go anywhere, the stuff that went down could have happened without trying to add a mysterious element to it.
I also had some trouble understanding Theo's trauma, and it felt that there was more involved that was left unsaid, particularly relating to his family. This made it a bit harder to understand the dynamic between Theo and Lux.
I felt that Lux's background was better explained and she was much easier to understand.
That being said, I did really enjoy this book. It tugged on my heartstrings and I shed a few tears in places. I enjoyed Theo and Lux together and thought they made a good couple.

This is the 6th book in this amazing series and is the finale of the “Fallen Royal’s”, and Theo and Lux are the perfect couple to complete an epic series. Theo is dark, twisted, and mysterious, who remains closed off to people apart from a select group of friends. Lux is tough and does what she wants whenever she wants, without a care in the world about what others may say about her, and all she wants is for her family to love her, which broke my heart. Theo and Lux have danced around each other since high school, and they see through each other’s façade and the underlying pain they try to conceal. The chemistry between these two is combustible and undeniable, and their characters are engaging and relatable. This is a well written story which is a fantastic enemies / lover’s tale, which is emotionally charged and with angst, suspense, intrigue, passion, heartbreak, and love. I was enthralled throughout this riveting and addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

This book was different than I expected. I always wanted to read about Theo because he's supposed to be a darker character. But I honestly don't think he was really protrayed that way in this book.
I enjoyed reading about Lucy aka Lux. She is definitely a hot mess and a spitfire so she was definitely fun to read. We finally learned about this mystery girl that got Theo riled up all these years.
I noticed the author doesn't have the characters become intimate or remotely together. In this book it was disappointing that didn't happened till literally almost the entire end. But I'm happy to read that Theo was also a virgin due to a promise they made. He wasn't the typical man whore like his friends. It's rare to read a book where the guy is a virgin.
I see that we at least got an introduction to her sister's book. I honestly hated Amelie in previous books so not sure how I will about her books.
I would of like more details about Theo and Lux's future. The epilogue only went one month into the future. Since it was the last of the series I would of liked more details about what happened to the whole gang. All we know sounds like everyone relocated to Boston.

Theo and Lucy were SO great together I LOVED this one! Perfect last installment of this authors Fallen Royals series of stand alones. While it is a stand alone, do yourself a favor and read them all! Her formula of intrigue, suspense, angst and steam just keeps getting better and she knocked it out of the park with this one! Lucy is taking us alone on her journey to find out who she is outside of her sisters shadow and family's expectations and its equal parts heart warming and entertaining. You're heart will ache for her when she strives so hard for love and affection from her family. I loved her fight and her grit! Whats not to love about Theo? His darkness drew me in from the beginning and I loved how far he'd go for the ones he cared about. I enjoyed the cameos from the previous Fallen Royals books I will miss this gang and hope we can read about them at some point in other books.

With how this book was written, I felt like I dropped into the middle of something without knowing wtf was going on. I'd read the other books right before this so knew the story and that Theo apparently acted like he hated Lucy but then it turns out that they actually were friends and loved each other? Pure confusion.
I also expected Theo to be the darkest member of the group but it turns out he was the biggest simp. Yeah, Liam had been pining over Skylar but Theo literally had nothing to do with other girls because he loved Lucy so much. It is kind of annoying that he was willing to give her up for football but then we didn't find out if it was even worth it since it sounded like his goal was to go pro.
I figured that this pair would probably be my favorite from the interactions we saw with them in Jacob's book but I didn't expect to love them this much - even with some of my annoyances with the story.

*arc review*
Theo and Lux’s story may be my favorite since Caleb and Margo! I was waiting for this book since S. Massery introduced Theo in the first book of the series.
Both the characters in this book are dark and twisted. Honestly maybe a little sick and crazy too but i think that just made them hotter.
This book took me by surprise a little. The vibe of this was a little different from the rest of the series. Definitely darker.
Didn’t stop me from reading it in one sitting.
Theo and Lucy’s personalities are similar but in a way that works.
The pranks and tricks that she pulls in him are everything.
His reactions as well.
Theo and Lucy went through a traumatic event together when they were younger that sort of ties them together as they grow up.
The trope in this book is frenemies to lovers and honestly it’s one of my favorite books for this trope!!
I can’t wait for her sister Amelie’s book. I know I’m going to like it even if i didn’t necessarily like her character in this book.
Keep up the great work S. Massery!!

I loved this story, so much in fact that it became my favorite of the series! Theo and Lux together were perfect! I loved the banter between them and how they fought their feelings for each other. Theo was amazing, how he could come off as aloof but was so fiercely protective of Lux. It made my little heart pitter-patter. I loved all the angst and slow burn up until they both finally realized the inevitable, that they belong together. Lux, poor un-loved Lux. She had to put up with a lot of crap from her family and it's no surprise she chose to embrace her darkness. I thought the story was interesting and entertaining. It was well fleshed out and it was great catching up with past characters. It held my attention from the very beginning and was very well written. I would definitely recommend Wild Fury, plus the cover is super hot too!!

This book makes no sense. There’s a lot of telling and very little showing, which is typical of the many books I’ve read in the bully/dark romance sub genre.
The psychology of the relationship between the two main characters is flimsy. Because they were both involved in a car accident as young kids and saw a man die, they have darkness in them? Riiiiight.
He waterboards her because she stole his car (something she’s done repeatedly)? That’s extreme and the violence is senseless. Even senseless violence needs to have some context as contradictory as that sounds.
She murders someone in self-defense and a mafia family has to hide her because of an investigation? They’re mafia. They should’ve been able to handle that easily.
So many plot holes and things that didn’t make sense.
It could’ve been a really well done story. It fell very short of that.

Intensely thrilling and emotional right to the end!
Theo and Lucy’s story is one crazy, emotional, angst filled, rollercoaster ride that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. These two have an intense connection and you could feel the pull they have towards one another on every page. Their interactions were filled with pain, anger and toxic love, and the push and pull for dominance between them was riddled with explosive sexual tension that oozed off the pages.
I loved their story, the twists, the suspense and the heart-aching moments, which made me fall in love with Theo and Lucy. These two have demons that darken their paths and fill them both with pain. Their journey is an emotionally charged one that captivated me and kept me hoping for a happy ending.
Highly recommend.

3.5 stars
I expected more from the lux and theo’ story I will not lie. They were actually getting together there for 85% so there wasn't much scene of them as a couple and there was a lot of plot at the same time, sebastian, the murder and even them themselves. I think It should have focused on just why it got too much. And they were 2 YEARS SEPARATE (pain). I also wanted to see a little more of the other characters (caleb, eli and liam with the girls) but as the story ended up getting too busy it seems like there was no time. It's a shame because I had high expectations, it's not a bad book, they're beautiful, but it's weak and they deserved more.
Ps. also I THINK that this story occurs at the same time as the story of sky and Liam?? which I also found very confusing.
