The Goddess Test meets Dexter in an edgy, compelling debut about one teens quest for revengeno matter how far it takes her.
Amelie Ainsworth is not alone in her head. Bound to a deal of desperation made when she was a child, Amelies mind houses the Furiesthe hawk and the serpentlingering always, waiting for her to satisfy their bloodlust. After escaping the asylum where she was trapped for years, Amelie 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.
Amelies perfected her system of survival, but when she meets a mysterious boy named Niko at her new school, she cant 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 Amelies finally found someone who she can trust, or are there greater factors at work As Amelies mind becomes a battlefield, with the Furies fighting for control, Amelie will have to decide which is worse: denying the only man she might ever love, or subjecting him to the fate the Furies want for him
