Wrath Becomes Her

Average rating4
Not what I was expecting.
Vera was created for vengeance. After a man loses his daughter, Chaya, he uses ancient magic in order to create a golem in her image. Vera is born with Chaya's memories and parts of her body and her sole purpose is to track down her killer and to avenge her death. On her mission, she comes across Akiva, Chaya's former lover, and together they are out for blood.
This whole premise sounded cool and I wanted to enjoy it, but I found myself not liking parts of the book. Vera wasn't the strong female character I expected her to be. The only thing strong about her was her was her physical strength. I wanted more vengeance and murder, but instead, we got angst and identity crises. She spent most of the book talking about what it means to be human and rage that didn't belong to her, rather than actually avenging people. Also, the romance between Vera and Akiva was pretty weird. These two characters together, just no...
