Sandra Macek is the author of the young adult sci-fi series Scorched Earth, which includes the novels Kindling, Flare, Magma, and Firestorm. After graduating with a degree in rhetoric, she dreamed of becoming a novelist; instead she got a job so she could eat. Now she’s an IT professional by day and a writer by night—surviving suburbia on a continuous diet of girl-power fiction. Given the chance to be anyone else, she’d be Buffy, Bella, or any woman in Paris.

You can find her online at SandraMacek.com.

Such a great sequel! I loved this book. At times the suspense was so intense, I had to put it down and walk away, only to run back to it after stressing out about leaving the characters dangling like that. Serina and Nomi continued to shine, but I al ...more
