Out of the Fire (Hardcover)

We were like fire, the four of us. Catching each other's sparks until the flames grew, spread, raged beyond our control. They told us this would happen. They said it like a warning rather than a promise. But we promised. We promised each other. It wasn't the kidnapping that ruined Cass Adams's life. It was the letters that came after. Every pink envelope that appears in her car, her locker, her bedroom - every word from the man she escaped, is a constant reminder that he's always there, always watching. It's enough to make Cass withdraw from everyone and everything she's ever loved. But then Cass discovers that her former best friend, Margot, is being blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend, who's threatening to expose the nude pictures she sent him. Cass is way too familiar with the helplessness Margot feels, so she offers her a proposal: stop being afraid and start getting revenge. When two other classmates overhear their unholy alliance, Cass and Margot's team of two becomes four, and together, the girls set out to levy justice against the men who wronged them. But soon, the letters from Cass's kidnapper begin to include clues on how to do just that, along with hints that the reason for Cass's kidnapping may be more dangerous than she ever imagined. Now, achieving the retribution the girls seek - and finding the truth behind Cass's abduction - will mean trusting the person she fears most. And the man who ruined her life may be the only one who can save it. Title contains language or content that may be considered inappropriate for younger readers.
