Fire

A must-read title for all fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Trudi Canavan, Fire will have you hooked on its gripping action, political intrigue, and beautiful central relationship. 'The book is REALLY good. Reading it made me very, very happy!' Tamora Pierce Set in a world of stunningly beautiful, exceptionally dangerous monsters, Fire is one of the most dangerous monsters of all - a human one. Marked out by her vivid red hair, she's more than attractive. Fire is mesmerising. But with this extraordinary beauty comes influence and power. People who are susceptible to her appeal will do anything for her attention, and for her affection. They will turn away from their families, their work, and their duties for her. They will forget their responsibilities to please her ... and worse, crush nations, neglect kingdoms and abuse their power. Aware of her power, and afraid of it, Fire lives in a corner of the world away from people, and away from temptation. Until the day comes when she is needed - a day when, for her king, she has to take a stand not only against his enemies, but also against herself ... Readers can't get enough of Fire : ' I was BLOWN AWAY! I fell in love with the world with the monsters and politics, the characters, the romance . . . Fantastic. Itching for a re-read already ' Goodreads reviewer, ' The writing is beautiful , and Fire herself is at the same time so damaged and SO strong, that I fell completely head over heels . Finishing this book was heart-breaking ' Goodreads reviewer, ' I found Fire's world to be well drawn, expertly woven and colourfully written . Each character is a delicious shade of gray, possessing both light and dark tendencies' Goodreads reviewer, 'If you asked me to recommend ONE book, or save ONE book from a fire, or keep ONE book of mine forever, it would be this one' Goodreads reviewer, 'Just as Graceling drew fans of Tamora Pierce and her strong female characters , Fire will definitely do the same' Goodreads reviewer, ' This was the most gorgeous romantic fantasy I've read in a while. And want to know what the last one was? - Graceling !! Kristin Cashore is just so good at writing these beautiful, deep relationships that stem from trust and acceptance' Goodreads reviewer, ' If you had to read only one hard fantasy YA book this year, FIRE just might be the one . Its blend of fantasy, romance, political intrigue, and feminism will appeal to all fantasy lovers, and then some' Goodreads reviewer,

'An exhilarating read' Spectator ‘Unsettling and utterly compelling’ Woman and Home ‘incredibly well-written’ Good Housekeeping 'Hypnotically clean, clear prose... powerful and memorable' Irish Times 'You will hurtle through the book, because it is such a compelling story' Irish Examiner ______ From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, a challenging and visceral narrative that asks the question: can one cataclysmic moment turn someone into a monster? On the face of it, Freya lives a gilded existence, dancing solely to her own tune. She has all the trappings of wealth and privilege, a responsible job as a surgeon specialising in skin grafts, a beautiful flat in a sought-after development, and a flash car. But it wasn’t always like this. Hers is a life founded on darkness. Did what happened to Freya as a child one fateful summer influence the adult she would become – or was she always destined to be that person? Was she born with cruelty in her heart or did something force it into being? In Fire , John Boyne takes the reader on a chilling, uncomfortable but utterly compelling psychological journey to the epicentre of the human condition, asking the age-old question: nurture – or nature? ______ Praise for John Boyne 'One of the greatest craftsmen in contemporary literature' Colum McCann 'Among the world's greatest storytellers' Donal Ryan 'One of the most assured novelists of his generation' Observer Irish Times bestseller, May 2024

Freedom came with a price-now the past demands payment. Jake swore that he would never take Tobias back to Freak Camp. But as they chase the secrets of Tobias's past, the truth leads them back to the prison where it all began. When a nationwide scandal erupts, shaking the very foundation of the Agency of Supernatural Control's iron grip, Tobias and Jake find themselves with unexpected allies-and a chance for revenge. But the price of justice may cost them everything they've worked so hard to win. In a world where your identity is determined by those in power, Tobias and Jake must decide: Are you what they call you, or who you choose to be? Their love survived Freak Camp's walls, but some demons are harder to escape than others. FIRE is the fifth book in the A MONSTER BY ANY OTHER NAMES series, an m/m paranormal romance. Readers are recommended to start with either book 1, FREAK CAMP, or book 2, FEAR. Please take note that FIRE includes references to past sexual and physical abuse, torture, and neglect of children, as well as scenes of graphic violence and death (not of the main characters). This series is the slowest of burns, but each book comes with a happy for now / happily ever after.
