“sometimes sorry isn’t enough...”
Summary: Emily and Chase both have penance to pay. Emily who
has been in love with her best friend’s boyfriend forever loses control when
her friend is gone for the winter break. Chase, in an attempt to stay popular,
humiliated someone he once cared for. Both were mistakes, but in Ascension
where three beautiful and mysterious girls lurk, mistakes can be deadly.
Review: In one word, Fury is an eerie novel. Told in
alternating perspectives Miles demonstrates how easy it is to make mistakes and
the consequences that follow. The characters were easy to identify with, which
is perhaps what makes the novel so compelling. It suggests that it could be
anyone on the wrong end of the Furies’ wrath. The writing was well done, stark
but fast paced, and the supportive characters and back story were well
developed. Miles is not afraid to throw out certain rules when it comes to the
plot, which makes this a completely unique and well told story.

I like your review, it makes me want to put this on my tbr list.
First reason to hate a character in this book. Emily is selfish and so full of herself. Then we have Chase who is not financially in the same league as the rest of his friends. He tries to make up for his past by becoming something he really isn¿t. He tramples on people to get where he wants to be. To make Emily and Chase pay for what they have done to others the three furies Ty, Meg and Ali pay a visit. Ty is so hot that she has Chase fawning all over her.
