Fury (The Fury Trilogy #1) by Elizabeth Miles

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you've seen the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, the overall theme and feel of this book is the same. Em and Chase have done some things they're not proud of but are still teenager-type mistakes. We know from the very beginning that they'll be punished by mythical Furies, but I thought the execution was somewhat lacking. Where things could have been scary or creepy they were just vaguely uncomfortable. If fact, the book didn't even pick up for me until the last 70 pages or so. The ending left a lot of questions open for a sequel, but at this point I don't know if I'd read it. The writing itself was fine and the dynamics between the characters were realistic, but I can't get past the sheer prosaicness of the first half of this book.
