Week 7 Review: Vengeance Bound

From Goodreads:
The Goddess Test meets Dexter in an edgy, compelling debut about one teen's quest for revenge… no matter how far it takes her.

Cory Graff is not alone in her head. Bound to a deal of desperation made when she was a child, Cory's mind houses the Furies—the hawk and the serpent—lingering always, waiting for her to satisfy their bloodlust. After escaping the asylum where she was trapped for years, Cory knows how to keep the Furies quiet. By day, she lives a normal life, but by night, she tracks down targets the Furies send her way. And she brings down Justice upon them.

Cory's perfected her system of survival, but when she meets a mysterious boy named Niko at her new school, she can't figure out how she feels about him. For the first time, the Furies are quiet in her head around a guy. But does this mean that Cory's finally found someone who she can trust, or are there greater factors at work? As Cory's mind becomes a battlefield, with the Furies fighting for control, Cory will have to put everything on the line to hold on to what she's worked so hard to build.

My first review of Vengeance Bound
My Review:
I loved reading this book again! I love the concept of the Furies, and I really enjoyed reading "Cory's"-going to refer to her as that, as that is the name that she's using through most of this book-story! I forgot so many details, like why she summoned them in the first place, to the truth about her parent's death, so I had a great time going on this journey again!

There is a bit of romance in this book but it is mainly about Cory trying to have a mostly normal life, with things with the Furies under control. I just really enjoy her story! And while the Furies caused a lot of trouble, there was plenty of drama in the normal life she was trying to build, as well! 

I really enjoyed how her past was woven into her present, when key points were affecting what was happening now, like the moment she got the Furies in the first place. And how everything got to this point. It's just a fantastic story!

Again, I would love another book in this world. Mindi has the power, and she did try to kill Cory at the end, and it was just dumb luck that she shot the doctor. And now that she has the Furies, I want to see what is going to happen next there! 

This was a fantastic book, and I need more books from Justina Ireland!
