#BookTour: A Thousand Fires by @spricewrites @JeanBookNerd #Giveaway

Shannon Price's A Thousand Fires is a breakout contemporary debut―think The Outsiders meets The Iliad―that's perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Veronica Roth.

10 Years. 3 Gangs. 1 Girl’s Epic Quest…

Valerie Simons knows the city's gang wars are dangerous—her own brother was killed by the Boars two years ago. But nothing will sway her from joining the elite and beautiful Herons to avenge his death—a death she feels responsible for.

But when Valerie is recruited by the mysterious Stags, their charismatic and volatile leader Jax promises to help her get revenge. Torn between old love and new loyalty, Valerie fights to stay alive as she races across the streets of San Francisco to finish the mission that got her into the gangs.

"Brutal and beautiful, A THOUSAND FIRES broke my heart. A fast-paced tragedy of love, betrayal, and vengeance." ―Heidi Heilig, author of FOR A MUSE OF FIRE

"Modern, unflinching and filled with haunting, lingering imagery, A Thousand Fires gives the story of the Iliad the bare-knuckled update it deserves." ―Colleen Oakes, author of The Black Coats

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
My Review:  This book was full of loss and hope.  I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to see what this author releases next.  This gang novel is one that reminded me of the gangs of New York and others like it.  The writing was easy to follow and very engaging and although this one is not really a thriller in my book.  I think that it had enough edge of your seat action to get your blood pumping.  The characters shinned though the pages of this story and transported me to this light dystopian setting.
