YA
Escaping from an abusive mental institution, Amelie (who has become one of the three Furies by way of nonconsensual possession) tries to balance a normal life with the Furies' need to enact bloody vengeance on immoral men. The inane high school social dramas and unrealistically instant romance weigh down the narrative, but the mythical setup is, rewardingly, morally ambiguous.
