Review: Fire with Fire (Burn for Burn #2) by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian

20759623Fire with Fire by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian

Secrets prove deadly in book two of the Burn for Burn trilogy from New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (soon to be a major motion picture!), Jenny Han, and New York Times bestselling author of The List, Siobhan Vivian.

Lillia, Kat, and Mary had the perfect plan. Work together in secret to take down the people who wronged them. But things didn’t exactly go the way they’d hoped at the Homecoming Dance.

Not even close.

For now, it looks like they got away with it. All they have to do is move on and pick up the pieces, forget there was ever a pact.

But there is something seriously wrong with sweet, little Mary. If she can’t control her anger, she’s sure someone will get hurt. Mary understands now that it’s not just that Reeve bullied her—it’s that he made her love him.

It seems once a fire is lit, the only thing you can do is let it burn…

Review:
Fire with Fire picks up right after Burn for Burn ends, with the three girls still plotting revenge on the people who have wronged them. One thing that I had been hoping would happen in this book was that it would get better - not that the series is bad, but there are a few things that I'm really unsure how I feel about (which I won't touch on in this review because I don't want to spoil anything even remotely). It is a quick read, although it is around 500 pages, and I think it has to do with the way the author wrote - it's easy to follow along and the plot is engrossing. I will say, the plot is slow building up and sometimes not really exciting, but it is well worth the ending.

In the first book, I was indifferent about how I felt about Lilia, but I definitely felt like I liked her more in Fire with Fire. I felt like she went through some character growth from where she was in the first book, and I look forward to seeing how her character grows in the final book. Kat is still a character that I go between liking and not liking because of her personality and character, but I love that she's a character with flaws and she's still Kat in this book. Mary, although I didn't feel like her character changed, I slowly started to not like her as much and I can't really explain why. I also like some of the side characters like Reeve and Alex.

So I look forward to reading the final book in the series, and because this one didn't really improve from the last one, I'm not expecting that the final book will. I just hope that it leaves me satisfied after the ending, and because of a certain thing you find out at the end of this book, I am worried how the last book will end.
