Ancient mythologies (especially Greek) come to the modern world in this fantastical tale about the three Furies and humans they encounter.

It took me a while to get into the book. The beginning introduces you to each of the Furies through their separate killing for vengeance. They don't go after just anyone. The petitioner had to have been killed by a family member.

You are introduced to Detective Dan when is witnesses one such attempt at vengeance by the Fury, Megaera. Unlike other mortals, he could SEE her when no one else can.

Through some twists and turns, you delve deeper into mythology learning about the different gods and goddesses as well as demons who people continually fear and worship, sometimes under different names.

Even though it took me a while to get into the story, once hooked I was all in. And now I'm going to be waiting for the second book.

A good read for those who like mythology and don't mind the gore. Because there is gore throughout.

Thompson gives us a fast-paced and action-packed adventure melding Greek mythology into the modern world. The characters are real and easy to relate to and care about. Humor runs throughout the story, enhancing the action and making the characters even more likable. The only issue I have with this book is the failure of the proofreader - frequent word mistakes, spelling, inconsistency in the conjugation of tenses (as an English teacher) is something I find very distracting. It is a measure of how interesting the plot and characters are that I read through the errors and straight on to Book 2! If I knew how I would volunteer to proofread Thompson's novels and correct the errors, as his story deserves to be read without the distractions. The story is a fun and fantastic journey.

I thought this was a good read but it was a bit slow to get going. I'm glad I stuck with it though and look forward to the next one

Angels of Vengeance by David Thompson. I liked the premise, of bad to the bone furies motorcycle riding around and dispensing justice as needed. However this book has a lot of foul language in it which is distracting and unnecessary for a good book. Without the language my rating would have been higher.
