The Harpy

The Harpy by Megan Hunter 300 pages (e-galley)


Nothing whets the appetite for revenge once you get started. Lucy and Jake seem happy enough, but when Lucy discovers Jake has been having an affair, she cannot forgive him. When Jake puts forth the idea that Lucy may hurt him three times, Lucy agrees. However, how much hurt is enough? As Lucy descends into her anger and grief, she discovers a capability within herself she had not expected. She also delves into her past research and fascination with the harpy, a being which exacts revenge.

Dark, disturbing, and memorable, this is a story with an almost fairy tale feel, as Lucy returns again and again to the harpy, a being of revenge. Good for readers who enjoy some unraveling of characters and a pace which steadily intensifies.
