"A fresh dark twist on paranormal, with surprises around every
corner. Fury kept me up all night!"
--Nancy Holder, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wicked and
Crusade
"Achingly gorgeous. Fury seduced me."--Lauren Kate, New York Times
bestselling author of Fallen
"Pick up Portland writer Elizabeth Miles' first novel, "Fury," and
you might wonder if Stephen King once drove to her house from
Bangor, sprinkling handfuls of "Carrie" dust along the way....
Greater forces are at work here than raging teenage hormones.
Greater achievements are at stake than basketball games or going
steady. And greater consequences await than any of the young people
of Ascension can envision." -The Portland Press Herald
"The furies are reinvented in eerie modern form, wreaking havoc in
the lives of a group of teens in a fictional Maine town in this
spine-prickling debut, first in a planned trilogy.... Deliciously
chilling." --Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2011

Gr 8 Up-In Ascension, Maine, saying sorry doesn't cut it. After Sasha Boulder, a high school student, unsuccessfully tries to commit suicide, weird things start happening to Emily Winters and Chase Rivers. While her friend, Gabby, is on vacation, Emily hooks up with her boyfriend, Zach. Soon she is being stalked by three revenge-seeking, unearthly beings known as Furies. She receives letters saying that sometimes saying sorry isn't enough and has several life-threatening episodes. Chase starts dating a beautiful girl named Ty. Before long, he gets stood up, publicly humiliated, and worse. Can the two find a way to stop the curse of the Furies before it's too late? Elizabeth Miles's intriguing novel (S & S/Simon Pulse, 2011) is brought to life by the narrator, Emma Galvin. Her uniquely crafted, realistic voice for each of the characters captures the heart of their personalities and emotions. Her transitions between suspense, action, and plot twists are smooth and keep listeners engrossed. Fans of horror, mythology, and suspense novels will enjoy this and eagerly await the sequel. A must-have.-Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City, UT (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
