Rendition Concering Books Smoke (Burned #2)
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.

I'm so happy that I finally decided to pick this book up and finish off this duology. It was the perfect way to finish off Pattyn's story and I really enjoyed the addition of Jackie's perspective. I will say though that it dragged on at times, but other than that it was an enjoyable read!I loved this duology so much. I could relate a lot to Pattyn's thoughts and feelings about religion/God/life though my life has not been as sad and horrible as hers. I loved how we get a POV from Jackie in book two and it definitely added to the story. I highly recommend everyone read this duology and educate themselves about the things that abuse victims go through. I think it has potential to create more empathy and compassion.
The author does a great job at covering a lot of tough topics: illegal immigrants, rape, abusive parent(s), losing a parent, escalation of violence, being gay, wealth, losing a child, miscarrying, extreme religions and so much more!"Pattyn Von Strattens father is dead, and Pattyn is on the run.

www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.comWow! Just when you think there can be no more heartache, you read the second book :( This story brings to life what really happened the night Pattyn's dad was killed. This one also brings Jackie's story into play. She is the oldest child after Pattyn. I think there is, what, 9 of them in all. Either way it's a big brood! What these two girls go through in their lives is atrocious. It just makes me sick and so mad! Pattyn's dad got what was coming to him, we
Not quite as amazing as Burned, but SOOO GOOOOOOD. I'm glad we get to see how Pattyn's story really ended, and get closure DEAR GOD THE CLOSURE.

I read this book as part of a read-a-thon. I knew I would be able to get through it quickly because of Hopkins style of writing in verse, but it is so much more than that. I knew I would read it fast because of the fluidity of her writing. So engaging, so emotional, and her books always speak volumes to me.This book is the sequel to Burned. In this installment Pattyn is on the run and is searching for a guilt free life while her sister Jackie searches for acceptance and understanding. Both girls
