"Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Ally Carter, the dazzling sequel to #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu's Stars and Smoke, is “a brilliant, breathtaking ride"—Tahereh Mafi, #1 internationally bestselling author

New sparks. Old flames. And a mission that's playing with fire.

A year has passed since superstar Winter Young last saw secret agent Sydney Cossette. After barely surviving their first assignment together in London—and their intense chemistry—the two haven’t spoken at all. Though they’re never far from the other’s thoughts, or fantasies.

So when Syndey shows up at Winter’s studio one day with a new mission from Panacea, he has no choice but to accept. With the clock ticking, the duo prepares to head to Singapore to rescue an operative in danger—only to learn he’s none other than Sydney's ex, a rogue agent known as the Arsonist.

Of course, nothing is ever simple when it comes to Winter and Sydney. Especially not with the glamorous Gavi Ginsburg, a globe-trotting socialite and Winter’s one-time girlfriend, in the mix. Is she back for Winter’s heart—or does she have her eye on another prize?

The smoldering sequel to New York Times bestselling Stars and Smoke follows Winter and Sydney on yet another treacherous mission that grows more sinister with each twist and turn. To make it out alive, they'll have to figure out how to be partners again—and if they can resist the burn of something more.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Another engaging entry in this world of spies and international intrigue."—Kirkus Reviews on Icon and Inferno

Listen at 1.2x speed

I found the narrator much more enjoyable when I changed to 1.2x speed. Still, this book isn't as strong as the first in my opinion. Still worth a read.

Not as good as the first, but was worth listening to.

Good follow up to the first book. Looking forward to the next book, but if they do a third it will need to pick up the pace more. We know the back stories now we get the emotional issues overtone has had in their lives. Would be nice to have a well developed plot line to follow. There was a thin one in this story but it almost seemed like an afterthought slipped in because why else would they be in another country together fighting to save one another.

Great Sequel

I really liked this book because it went almost seamlessly along with the themes of the first book, something that Lu does well in all of her books

Marie Lu is always worth the read

I love Marie Lu style and am always impressed with her characters. This is a ya book but I love it just as much if not more than the other books I read.

Iconic

Marie Lu delivers a fantastic story filled with tension, suspense, love, jokes and an action packed adventure - loved this sequel but left wanting more from this world
