Waiting on Wednesday #4

Series: Burned, #2
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books.

Description:

Pattyn Von Stratten’s father is dead, and Pattyn is on the run. After far too many years of abuse at the hands of her father, and after the tragic loss of her beloved Ethan and their unborn child, Pattyn is desperate for peace. Only her sister Jackie knows what happened that night, but she is stuck at home with their mother, who clings to normalcy by allowing the truth to be covered up by their domineering community leaders. Her father might be finally gone, but without Pattyn, Jackie is desperately isolated. Alone and in disguise, Pattyn starts a new life, but is it even possible to rebuild a life when everything you’ve known has burned to ash and lies seem far safer than the truth?

 

Why I'm Waiting:

I've read almost every Ellen Hopkins book out (except Triangles and Tilt but they are on my list) and I loved Burned. The story was so tragic yet during it you felt a sense of hope only to have your heart ripped out and handed to you. All of Ellen Hopkins' books have either made me cry or left me thinking about the characters long after I put the book on my shelf and I have no doubt that this one will as well. I NEED to know what happens to Pattyn, after the way Burned ended my heart broke. Besides that cover is amazing and hello? books written in verse are just plain awesome.
