Fire with Fire by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian - OPTIONAL

Han, Jenny and Siobhan Vivian  Fire with Fire, 517 pgs.  Simon and Schuster, 2013.  $17.99  Content: Language: R (150 + swears; 37 “F” words); Mature Content: PG-13; Violence: PG.  

Lillia has promised her two close friends, Mary and Kat, that she will exact revenge on a boy at school named Reeve for the awful way in which he treated Mary.  Lillia is supposed to draw Reeve in, and make him fall in love with her, but break his heart.  Lillia isn’t as cold hearted as the plan calls for and Mary might never be happy with revenge, making the whole plan spin in a direction that none of them could have predicted.  

This is the second book in the Burn for Burn trilogy.  It can be read alone, but it helped to have the back story from the first novel.  The story drew me in and was hard to put down, but the amount of swears is over the top and impossible to recommend for a school library.  There are good twists in this story and I can’t wait to find out what happens to the characters, so it’s sad that it can’t be recommended.  

HS-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
