Finished Envy by Elizabeth Miles. This is a sequel to Fury. In the interest of full disclosure, I work for a company related to Simon & Schuster.
Summary (from Goodreads):
“The Furies are back in the second book of a chilling paranormal trilogy where revenge rules the day—and “sorry” isn’t going to cut it. Spring is coming, and the ice is slowly melting in Ascension…revealing the secrets buried beneath.
Emily Winters knows the Furies have roots in Ascension, Maine—but she’s about to discover that they’re deeper than she ever imagined. With the help of her new friend Drea, she vows to dig them out. But it’s hard to focus when she’s desperate to make up with JD, and to figure out why Crow, a mysterious Ascension High dropout, seems to be shadowing her.
Meanwhile, new girl Skylar McVoy is determined to leave her own dark past behind. So she’s thrilled when popular Gabby takes her under her wing, and the stunning and sophisticated Meg offers to give her a major makeover. But everyone knows what happens to the vainest girl of all…
It’s tempting to be naughty. But beware: the Furies are always watching, and their power grows stronger by the day.”
I am so in love with this trilogy. Yes, it’s a complete guilty pleasure, but those are definitely worth having. I love the mythology in this series and I kind of wish I were a Fury.
Yes, I know they’re the villains, but I think I’ve missed my calling. I would also have been an excellent vengeance demon.
Anyway. :) We learn more about the Furies in this book (especially their backstory) and they are seriously evil. And they are so good at picking their targets! (Both to hurt and to “help.”)
I can’t wait to read the third installment. I hope maybe there will be a spinoff or that the series will get extended. Cassandra Clare and Sara Shepard both did it, so there’s a precedent!
