Smoke

By: Ellen Hopkins

Narrated by: January LaVoy, Candace Thaxton

Pattyn’s father is dead. Now she’s on the run in this riveting companion to New York Times bestseller Burned, which Kirkus Reviews calls “a strong, painful, and tender piece about wresting hope from the depths of despair.”

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 fatal 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 as a migrant worker on a California ranch. 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?

Bestselling author Ellen Hopkins continues the riveting story of Pattyn Von Stratten she began in Burned to explore what it takes to rise from the ashes, put ghosts to rest, and step into a future.

Wonderful book

Love the way you read the book enjoyed it very much!!! I absolutely adore Ellen Hopkins an its hard to read thank you for reading for me ❤️

Great read

Loved this but it’s honesty impressive that two different narrators have almost the exact same voice. Some chapters say whose view it is but it’s still hers confusing and there’s a lot of rewinding.

The mystery of what happened that fateful night

I really liked this story! It is just as good as the first one if not better! Definitely ties everything together with a neat bow! The characters are definitely amazing as always. I enjoyed seeing things from Jackie’s perspective as well, that was a welcome surprise. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who has read the first book!
