I'm going to be honest here: When I saw the cover of this book I thought it was a sequel to Wink Poppy Midnight. The cover and tittle are a bit similar, but the synopsis is like nothing I've read before. It sounds like a thrilling and magical read. I can't wait to get the chance to read it!
Expected publication: August 15th 2017

All the women in Iris
and Malina's family are born with a gleam—a unique way of manipulating
beauty through magic. Seventeen-year-old Iris sees flowers as fractals
and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, her twin sister
Malina interprets moods as music, and their cold, distant mother Jasmina
bakes scenery into decadent treats at her confectionery in Old Town
Cattaro, Montenegro.
Jasmina forbids Iris and Malina to share their gleams with anyone, and above all, she forbids them to fall in love—being discovered could shatter the quiet lives they’ve built in their tucked-away, seaside town. But Iris and Malina are tired of abiding by their mother’s rules and rebel in secret whenever they can.
Yet when a mysterious, white-haired woman attacks their mother and leaves her hovering between life and death, the sisters unearth an ancient curse that haunts their line—a wicked bargain that masquerades as a blessing, and binds the twins’ fates—and hearts—to a force larger than life. To save each other, they must untangle a thousand years of lies and reveal their own hurtful secrets. But even the deepest sacrifice might not be enough.
Wicked Like a Wildfire is the first book in a sumptuous, bewitching duology about the power of love, death, magic, and the many faces of beauty.
