Burn for Burn (Simon & Schuster Audio)
Audience: Grades 9+
My Rating: 4* of 5
Summary: Postcard-perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing oceanfront homes—and three girls secretly plotting revenge. KAT is sick and tired of being bullied by her former best friend. LILLIA has always looked out for her little sister, so when she discovers that one of her guy friends has been secretly hooking up with her, she’s going to put a stop to it. MARY is perpetually haunted by a traumatic event from years past, and the boy who’s responsible has yet to get what’s coming to him. None of the girls can act on their revenge fantasies alone without being suspected. But together…anything is possible.
Comments: Okay, I confess, this is my first Han read. Not what I expected; there was bite behind all the lip gloss! Some turns were predictable while others not at all. Some mature content--drinking, drugs, and a sex crime that is left unresolved (at least in this installment). Definitely leaves you burning for book 2!
Read-alikes: Other titles by Han/Vivian. Pretty Little Liars series by Shepard.
