The Furies by Katie Lowe

2.0

A prestigious private girl's school, four young students, and a school's history of witchcraft, this story has all this, yet still misses the mark. I enjoyed the story of the girls' friendship, which was riddled with jealousy, anger, and love, and I enjoyed the witchcraft aspects. I thought the story was muddled by the extraneous references to art and art theory. It made the story difficult to follow, almost as if you had to be an art expert to relate the art history to the plot. The story often jumped in time without any indication that time had passed, making me have to reread passages to figure out what was happening and when. I had high hopes for this book but was left feeling less than satisfied when it was done.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book. The opinions are my own.
