The Harpy

Thank you to NetGalley and Grove Atlantic for providing me with a digital ARC.

I am not usually a fan of the cheating husband trope so I wasn't sure how much this book was going to suit me! It lacked a little bit of clarity I would've appreciated but Hunter weaves together a story about revenge & obsession.

We first meet Lucy in the monotony of her life. She has taken over the role of all the domestic tasks while her husband has the ability to focus on his work. Lucy soon discovers that Jake, her husband, has been having an affair with one of his coworkers. As they grapple with how to move on Jake suggests that she hurt him three times and that they will be even.

As Lucy begins to hurt Jake she realizes how much joy it brings her to cause him this much pain. It brings up her memories of her childhood obsession with the harpy.

Overall, I did enjoy this story! I do have a soft spot for morally grey women and Lucy definitely fits right in.
