Dear sweet Lord have mercy, I'm in love.
How do I even.... I don't even know what to say.. You see, I finished this book possibly twenty minutes ago, therefore my brain has not finished with the fireworks, and I just have so much to say and not enough time in the world to do so...
Let's try and make a little sense for you all, shall we?
Born In Flames is the first book in a trilogy of the same name by (my new best friend) Candace Knoebel. The story is about Aurora Megalos, a near-adult spitfire who rooms with her best friend, the adorable Fenn, as they both work minimum wage to collect enough money to set out to find their birth parents. Seems somewhat normal, yes?
Wrong.
I think I read this book in a total of 6 hours... I don't read books like that. But this book, this is an AMAZING book. It captures your attention from page one and keeps you in a vice grip throughout. I am still reeling from the zig-zag twists and turns this book took!
The story is so original and well thought-out, with a cast of characters that are just witty and fantastic and...and...OH this is perfection on paper right here, ladies and gentlemen.. Read it... Read it, please, I need someone I can fangirl too.. (Not that I'm not fangirling now, but... Y'know, spoiler filter and all that...)
