@JonMessenger, #YoungAdult, #Fantasy, 4 out of 5 (very good)

First things first, I thoroughly enjoyed this story! There were parts that didn't quite sit straight with me but, on the whole, I found this to be a great read.

Xander is a twenty-year-old college student who doesn't know what he wants to major in. He is best-friends with Sean, and has some sort of weird relationship with Jessica, a sorority president. He lives at home and doesn't have a job. His life changes when he suddenly gains some powers over the Air.

I loved the Elemental aspect of this book. No surprise to some of you, I'm sure. I thought the part that says only one Element can live on the earth at one time was a good one. I'm not completely sure why Fire is always cast as the bad guy but there you go. 

Sammy (a Fire Elemental) is a very intriguing character and I would love to learn more about her backstory. A lot goes on with her in this story and I can't wait to see where she goes next.

This was an easy read that kept me turning the pages. Like I said, some of it didn't quite fit with the background/story but not enough to disrupt my reading. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a YA/NA Elemental story!

― Penelope Douglas, Aflame: A Fall Away Novel

(Fall Away Series, Book #4)

This book is a continuation of Jared Trent and Tatum Brandt's story that started with Bully in the Fall Away series. It can be read as stand alone, but to fully enjoy the fruits of this amazing story and the authors labor - please read the other books in the series first.

Jared and Tate have gone their separate ways in this book.  They are still in love with one another - but time and being apart has made them gun shy with relationships.  The truth is they both want to get back together, but are just too stubborn.

Jared had come home after 6 months only to find Tate with another man, on the night he was going to propose.  He was very hurt and it took his mother having his baby sister to get him home.  He is not expecting to see Tate.

Tate does not know Jared is there as she walks in and is getting ready to go out.  She really wants to know why he had to find himself without her.  They had a great relationship - and it hurt so bad when he left.

The conclusion to the series shows all our favorite characters from the previous books in the Fall Away Series. I loved it and wished for another book!  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
