Even if it needs to remain a secret

Under the Magnolia: Daughter of Fire Prequel Novella by Fleur Smith

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book now introduces us to Evie Jacobs in her high school years, where the blooms of love start to bloom. Fleur Smith takes us back to where the Evie & Clay story began. The eloquent writing of this author makes the story flow, meandering over highs and lows in a young girl's live.

Evie has never been able to have friends. Each time she tries, her father’s paranoia sends them fleeing to another state.

When a mysterious boy at her most recent school takes an interest in her, she longs for some kind of human connection.

Even if it needs to remain a secret.

Can Evie discover her true self when everyone she cares about is hiding a deadly truth?

Aspects of this book were previously published as part of Through the Fire by Michelle Irwin. (less)
