The Furies by Katie Lowe

3.0

I wanted to love this book more than I actually did. It's a strange mix of "The Craft" and "Mean Girls" - all about teenage girls, their relationships, rage, violence and the complexity of female relationships. It's quite dark, which I don't mind at all, but somehow felt a bit formulaic to me. I simply wasn't able to get invested in the main character, Violet's, story. Violet's friends are characters you've met in other teen novels - the seductive, ultimately cruel "best friend", and Grace and Alex were somewhat cliche. Not a bad read, but it feels too familiar.
