Smoke (Burned, #2) by Ellen Hopkins


Smoked is the second installment in the Burned series. It picks up shortly after Burned ends. I am going to be a bit vague with this review as I just reviewed the first book within days of finishing this one and I don't want to spoil anything. 

Pattyn is on the run. Jackie (Pattyn's sister) is left at home to deal with issues that no young person should have to. Pattyn meets a young woman on the bus who takes her under her wing and she ends up living in California. Pattyn makes a life for herself their but her past continues to haunts her. 

The story is told from Pattyn and Jackie's point of view. Both characters have a lot of growth and the story flows beautifully. Expect a lot of emotions. Hopkins know hows to capture the way teens think, talk and their fears.
