Lies Like Wildfire

By Jennifer Lynn Alvarez

Book Overview

An intense high-stakes story about five friends and the deadly secret that could send their lives up in flames, perfect for fans of Karen McManus and E. Lockhart.

In Gap Mountain, California, everyone knows about fire season. And no one is more vigilant than 18-year-old Hannah Warner, the sheriff's daughter and aspiring FBI agent. That is until this summer. When Hannah and her best friends accidentally spark an enormous and deadly wildfire, their instinct is to lie to the police and the fire investigators.

But as the blaze roars through their rural town and towards Yosemite National Park, Hannah's friends begin to crack and she finds herself going to extreme lengths to protect their secret. Because sometimes good people do bad things. And if there's one thing people hate, it's liars.

Very Good

This book was hard to put down. It is a very fast paced and intense story line that kept me reading long into the night. I won't go into the story as others have already done so. The Gap is a fictional area north of Bishop, California. Having spent a great deal of time in Bishop, I know the area quite well which made it an even better read. This was recommended for Young Adult readers, but I actually thought the story was geared more towards adult readers. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to read more from this author.
