Vengeance Bound
by Justina Ireland
Pages: 320
Release Date: April 2, 2013
by Simon & Schuster
The Goddess Test meetsDexter 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~
I break off the kiss and notice with some surprise that
Niko's arms are pulling me even closer. Our bodies are pressed together, and
I'm no longer cold. He nuzzles my neck, trailing little kisses down to the
space where it meets my shoulder. I lean into his touch, wrapping my arms
around him to steady myself, since my legs have gone weak. He kisses the hollow
near my ear. "What's your secret?" he whispers, before nibbling my
earlobe. I sigh, since I've lost the ability to speak coherently, and he laughs
before kissing me again.
