Bridges Burned (Going Down in Flames #2)
by Chris Cannon
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Release Date: 01/19/15
Synopsis:
Don't just fight the system…burn it.
Since discovering she is a shape-shifting, fire-breathing dragon on her sixteenth birthday (surprise!), Bryn McKenna’s world has been thrown into chaos. Being a “crossbreed”—part Red dragon and part Blue—means Bryn will never fit in. Not with dragon society. Not with the archaic and controlling Directorate. And definitely not when she has striped hair and a not-so-popular affection for rule-breaking…
But sneaking around with her secret boyfriend, Zavien, gets a whole lot harder when he’s betrothed to someone else. Someone who isn't a mixed breed and totally forbidden. And for an added complication, it turns out Bryn’s former archnemesis Jaxon Westgate isn’t quite the evil asshat she thought. Now she’s caught between her desire to fit in and a need to set things on fire. Literally.
Because if Bryn can’t adapt to the status quo…well, then maybe it’s time for her to change it.

“Hi. I wanted to
ask Jaxon a question about the Directorate. Is he here with you?”
Rhianna pointed
to the midnight-blue book bag hanging on the back of the chair next to her. “He
went to look for a book.”
“Know which way
he went?” Searching for someone in the monstrous library could take all night,
and there was no guarantee of success.
“Up to the
second floor, I believe.”
Which meant he
could be anywhere. “I’ll ask him another time.”
“Thank you,”
Rhianna said.
“For what?”
“You came to me
rather than searching him out on your own. We just quashed those strange rumors
about you two, and I’d hate for them to start again.”
“How can people
be so stupid?” Bryn plopped down in Jaxon’s seat. “I’d never sneak around with
Jaxon for two reasons: one, because I like you, and two, because he annoys the
hell out of me on a regular basis.”
Rhianna covered
her mouth with her hand as she giggled. “I envy your ability to say what you’re
feeling.”
“You should try
it sometime.”
“This is a
frightening development.” Jaxon came toward them carrying a thick leather-bound
book.
“Afraid I’ll be
a bad influence?” Bryn asked.
“Yes. If you
could remove yourself from my seat and stay away from my future wife, I’d
appreciate it.”
Bryn leaned
forward, placing her elbows on the table. “Now I’ll have to become best friends
with Rhianna to spite you.”
I love reading and writing snarky, kick-butt characters who take on the world and win.
My truths: You can never have too many books, shoes, or purses.
Coffee is the Elixir of Life.
There should be a National Nerf Bat Day where you are allowed to whack annoying people upside the head.
