The Furies by Katie Lowe
3.0
I was browsing NetGallery and the synopsis and title stuck out to me and I decided why not? I thought it sounded similar to books written by Gillian Flynn or Megan Abbott. And in a way it was like those books, just not that memorable.
We follow Violet, a teenager who ends up on a scholarship at a private all girls academy. She ends up joining 'The Furies' a secret society of sorts where young women use spells and witchcraft for vengeance. Whether or not there is magic or witchcraft is left up to reader's interpretation. Murders quickly start happening, and there is a few red herrings about who the girl in white is that is mentioned in the beginning.
The story is more boring than I expected and was predictable. The two other girls, Robin and Grace, are not that important at all and for that matter neither is the art teacher Annabel. Alex and Violet are the more interesting characters but again it's been done before and better. If you want a fast read about a female cast then check it out. I received a copy of this book for my honest review by NetGallry.
