Many thanks to NetGalley and Grove Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this novel by Megan Hunter. 4 stars for a quick, well-written read that draws you into the story. 4 stars.
A harpy is a mythical creature with a woman's face whose mission is to harm those who have harmed her. Quite the lead in to a story about a wronged woman! Lucy is married to Jake and mom to two boys. Instead of the fulfilling career she intended, she works part-time from home writing copy. A call comes to her from a man claiming that her husband is having an affair with one of his coworkers. When Lucy confronts Jake, they agree to her settling the score by allowing her three paybacks towards him.
This book was wonderfully written, like a dark fairy tale, with glimpses of Lucy's past explaining her fixation with the harpy. I couldn't put it down but have to say that the ending fell short with me and left me wanting more of a resolution.
