Salem's Fury
Vengeance Trilogy: Book 2
Sarah Kelly fears a father’s sins are revisited upon the children.
Her sister believes different. Adopted by the Miamiak and raised in the wilderness, Rebecca shares no such concerns. For her, memories of their early life and of Hecate’s attack remain dim.
But history condemns those who neglect the past.
When a war party brings news of a neighboring tribe attacked for harboring white folk, they demand the Miamiak aid in avenging their fallen brothers. With rumors the culprits were held in sway to a fearless witch on the rampage, Rebecca must decide whether to guard those she holds dear or seek vengeance upon a forgotten shade of Salem.

I guess my philosophy is something like this: some female characters are helpless, some are fighters, and some are phoenix; when you try to take down a phoenix, they just set the world ablaze. I'd put my bets on Rebecca. She's got her own spark, and I'm excited to see what it does next. - Steampunk Sparrow Book Blog Aaron Galvin has done it again with this deliciously action-packed story. -Books Are Love The witches are back, and they aren't the only ones seeking vengeance. In this second book of the Vengeance Trilogy, readers be warned: don't get attached to anyone, evil or good, because the body count is high! - Hall Ways As he did in Vengeance, Galvin once again creates a heroine who stands on her own two feet without the need for male validation. I offer nothing short of a standing ovation to Galvin for this compelling and much needed female perspective on a time in history normally dominated entirely by men. -Chronicles An excellent follow-up to Salem's Vengeance...Once again Galvin has presented us with a brilliant story that sucks you in. - Book Attic I very much enjoyed the book and was sad that it ended; I could have easily read another book full of this story and look forward to reading book three to see how it all ends. -Girl Who Reads |
Salem’s Fury is a solid second novel in a series I’d recommend for older teen readers, and adult readers who enjoy historical fiction and action. It continues the theme of strong family ties and the determination to never give up on the people you love.

I was also intrigued by the contrast between Rebecca, who had embraced the tribe and life she and her sister lived, and Sarah, who refused to try and make the best of a situation. In many ways, I felt there were parts of this book that would make for good discussion for a reading group.
