Review: Chasing Flames
Rating: 4 out of 5

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.Chasing Flames starts out as the story of a typical teenage girl who meets and instantly falls for the new guy in school who is also interested in her. Aydah’s feelings and obsession with Liam are the focus of the book and everything else is incidental.Emily Fogle’s writing is easy to read and flows well although the descriptions were a little too detailed (but that’s my personal preference).I kept waiting for something major to happen but, even though things were hinted at, nothing specific ever really did happen. There were people in town disappearing and that was not resolved. Adam and Aydah’s family were keeping a secret from her and part of the secret was revealed by the end of the book, just by what was going on, but they never did explain anything to her. Hopefully there will be another book after this one that will resolve some of these mysteries.Chasing Flames is a good book for young adults especially since it keeps your interest and it has no gore or sex like so many in this genre do.
