Title: Vengeance Bound
Author: Justina Ireland
Publisher: Simon & Schuster for Young Readers
Release date: April 2, 2013
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.
EXCERPT
The car turns down a nearly invisible road, little more than a cut through the woods. I turn to the driver with what I hope is alarm. “This isn’t the way into town.”
“I have to go by a friend’s house first, before I take you to the bus station. You don’t mind do you?”
Not at all, but any girl with half a brain would be a little afraid. “Can’t you go by his house on the way back?”
“Nope, sorry.” He turns his well practiced smile on me once again, his face absent of any apology. Even if I didn’t have Them in the back of my mind, I would know there was something off about this man.
But if I was a normal girl it would be too late.
Snow and darkness hide the road, even with the headlights attempting to cut through the gloom. Trees press in on either side, their branches scraping the glass like the scrabbling hands of vengeful victims. I kind of like the sound.
We ride in silence until the trees open up, revealing a rustic cabin. I lean forward, trying to see through the windshield. “Your friend lives here?”
“Actually, no.” He turns off the car and lunges for me. I’m taken by surprise. I expected him to lure me inside of the cabin. His hands lock around my throat, and I gasp as my air supply is cut off. I pry ineffectively at his fingers for a few heart pounding seconds, but already there are dark spots at the edges of my vision.
Time to call for backup.
GIVEAWAY TIME! :)
