In this third and final book in the Burn for
Burn series, Lilly, Mary and Kat all have to face the consequences of their
earlier revenge. Lilly is falling for
Reeve and their relationship is off limits because Reeve is Lily’s best friend’s
boyfriend, and Lilly’s best friend just died.
Kat is trying to figure out where Mary disappeared to and Mary is
learning how to gain power as a ghost.
This book brings all of the individuals’ stories to a climax with Mary turning
to her dark side. I have read this
entire series, I have invested at least 1,000 pages worth of time and the
ending is abrupt and not satisfying which irks me to no end. Relationships that have been built throughout
the trilogy are quickly wrapped up in a short epilogue. Not only that, but the swearing was over the top
and totally unnecessary. The storyline
was entertaining and I liked the characters, but not enough to outweigh the
content and bad ending.
