Sometimes sorry isn't enough....

It’s winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems...

Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year’s even better--the guy she’s been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there’s no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em’s best friend.

On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that’s nothing compared to what’s really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it’s only a matter of time before he’s exposed.

In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls—three beautiful, mysterious girls—are here to choose who will pay.

Em and Chase have been chosen. 

Fury by Elizabeth Miles was heart wrenching, spine-tingling ,and down right creepy at times. I loved every minute of the whole dang book! It kept me interested and invested the entire time I was reading it. I had no idea what was around the next corner and I couldn't wait to find out where the author was leading me.
Most books you read, you actually like the characters, at least somewhat.  I hated these two, Em and Chase, right from the beginning. I take that back, I didn't hate them, I hated what they were doing. I loved that even though I didn't like the decisions that they were making, they were real human mistakes that people make every day.  There are tons of girls, just like EM, that are in love with their best friends guy, and they act on it too.Then we have Chase, who is mean and hateful, full of anger and bitterness, but he was real.
The Furies were awesome! What great mysterious and dark characters!  Even the descriptions of each girl were creepy, and had me peeking behind the shower curtain at night. They are deadly and are not to be taken lightly. I can't wait to read more about these three, and if they can ever be defeated.
My favorite character though, and the reason I wanted to bitch slap Em upside the head, was JD. Why could she not see how wonderful he was and just be with him! It was so obvious what a sweet and caring guy he is to everyone but Em. So true to life though, you can't see what's right in front of you
Overall, I thought Fury was an honest, and wonderfully written YA novel that will have you wanting more. Elizabeth Miles is great and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next. I give this baby a whopping 5 STARS.
