Sara Jane Rispoli is still searching for her missing family, but instead of fighting off a turncoat uncle and crooked cops, this time she finds herself on the run from creepy beings with red, pulsing eyes and pale white skin chasing her through the streets in ice cream trucks; they can only be described as Ice Cream Creatures. They're terrifying and hell bent on killing her, but they're also a link to her family, a clue to where they might be and who has them.

While she battles these new pursuers, she's also discovering more about her own cold fury and more about the Chicago Outfit, how the past misdeeds--old murders and vendettas--might just be connected to her present and the disappearance of her family. But connecting the dots is tough and time-consuming and may finally be the undoing of her relationship with the handsome Max--who's now her boyfriend. But for his own safety, Sara Jane may have to end this relationship before it even really starts.

Her pursuers who've shown her her mother's amputated finger and the head of the Chicago Outfit who's just whistled her in for a sit-down make a romance unthinkable. The only thing that matters is finding her family and keeping everyone she loves alive.

Review:

I am hooked on this series. I loved it from page one all the way to the last page and I still want more of this world that T.M. has created.

Sarah is still trying to find her kidnapped family. Add to that she has pale faced red eyed creatures chasing after her in ice cream trucks no less. Oh and she has to start her junior of high school like nothing is going on all the while she gets deeper in the Chicago Mob scene and finding more information on her cold fury. Will she able to find her family in time before the mob closes in on her and stay away from the ice cream creatures? You’ll have to read Flicker & Burn to find out since I don’t do spoilers.

Sarah is defiantly become one of my favorite characters this year. She is so strong and I can’t even imagine going through everything she is at the age of sixteen. From running from red eye creatures, trying to find her family, and keep up the family business of being the mediator for the disputes between the muscle and the money I couldn’t do it. I can not wait for the next book to see what happens in this action packed, amazing page turning book. 4/5 Bloody Fangs

Tens List:

Your favorite guy/girls characters from your books, including random facts about them.

Doug Stuffins, Sara Jane’s best friend. He’s tough and funny, and loves movies. Random fact: Doug is scared to admit he’s gay, not because of what people will think about him, but because he’s not sure how it makes him feel about himself.

Gina Pettagola, Sara Jane’s super-gossipy semi-friend. Random fact: Gina had a nose job along with her sister, and you’d better not tell anyone!

Elzy, Sara Jane’s nemesis. She’s desperately trying to get her hands on Sara Jane and the old notebook. Random fact: Elzy loves Frank Sinatra more than anyone in the world…except her brother, Poor Kevin.
