A great way to introduce yourself to some series and/or authors, the Girls on Fire boxed set contains stories with strong female characters, and engaging plots. Some of the endings will leave you hanging but this is one summer release fans of young adult fiction won't want to miss!My review of The Forgotten Ones: Book 1 (The Danaan Trilogy) by Laura Howard:Allison carries the burden of her mother's mental breakdown on her shoulders. Focused on caring for her family, she doesn't have time for friends or Ethan, the young man who she shared a kiss with years ago.When her father mysteriously re-appears in her life after being absent since before her birth, she fears the affect his sudden presence will have on her mother's already unstable health.His tales of the fae people plotting to keep them apart are fanciful at first but then become a scary reality.This intriguing story has a young heroine that I couldn't help but feel for, as she tries to grow up so fast. The plot is character driven and well written. With a cliff hanger of an ending, this is a series I will be sure to follow!A Copy of Girls on Fire was provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review.
