If you were left on the edge by The Hunger Games then be prepared to be BLOWN AWAY by Catching Fire. I was left Speechless! How do I write this review by not spoiling it for the readers who’ve not read The Hunger Games?

What are the Hunger Games?

In desolate lands where greed is run by the Capitol, 13 districts – strike that! I mean 12 districts have to attend the annual reaping where 1 girl and 1 boy from each district will be picked to attend the annual hunger games to fight to the death. Sounds Crazy right? Well I don’t know if “Crazy” is the right word to describe this series…

How about AWESOME.FANTASTIC.BRILLIANT.MINDBOGGLING.BREAK.YOUR.NECK.TO.GET.A.COPY!

Didn’t you guys see how these crazed fans were trying to get their hands on an ARC copy of Catching Fire? I must admit that I was totally one of them.

Katniss is the main heroine in this series and she’s a feisty one. If you like your heroines strong and not dependent on a man to fight their battles then Katniss is your girl. Katniss will do anything to protect the ones she loves even if it includes giving up her life. Well it can’t get any better than that right? I’ll let you decide…

Decisions, Decisions…This series is about strategy and a test of will. It’s High Octane with tricks and traps around every corner, so be prepared to be gorefied! Is gorefied a word? Well I’m talking about blood and gore. This series is ruthless but for you ladies that have to have romance in your novels, don’t worry this series has that too! I can only imagine what this would look like on the big screen. Yes! That’s right! The Hunger Games is coming to a theatre near you!
