Flash Fire

The Extraordinaries, Book Two

De: TJ Klune

Narrado por: Michael Lesley

Flash Fire is the explosive sequel to The Extraordinaries by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author TJ Klune!

Through bravery, charm, and an alarming amount of enthusiasm, Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams. Now instead of just writing stories about him, Nick actually gets to kiss him. On the mouth. A lot. But having a superhero boyfriend isn’t everything Nick thought it would be - he’s still struggling to make peace with his own lack of extraordinary powers.

When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City - siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had- it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous.

And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic.

Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames?

wow love

now I'll just be sitting here anxiously awaiting the 3rd Book omg!!!! I loved the 1st book and the 2nd was even better! also never change the narrator, Michael Lesley did an amazing job once again with the characters and their different personalities!!

Whoa!!

Omg!! This book!!!
The ending of this book....TJ is pure evil!!! I can’t wait another year!!!!!

I absolutely love Nick and Seth’s relationship in this book.

We get a few new extrordinaries.

Narration was FANTASTIC!!!!! Michael Lesley is always such a joy to listen to!!

TJ NO!

If ever a match was made it heaven, it would be TJ Klune's words and Michael Lesley's narration. Together these 2 are perfection. Michael has done such a phenomenal job with this series so far, can't wait for Heat Wave! He really brings Nick to life, along with the rest of the characters. He makes it so that you feel like you're living through everything right there with Nick- every sweet moment, every cringe moment, every moment that hits your right in the feels..

Original review from when I first read the book-

4.5*

TJ, no.

Ok, I guess that's not an acceptable review, although I'd really like to leave it at that!

The cliffhanger at the end of The Extraordinaries had me impatient for this book, and let me tell you, T.J. Klune did not disappoint. Not in the least. Flash Fire was all that and a bag of Skwinkles Salsagheti. (I still need to track some down to try.) And talk about cliffhanger- if I thought it was tough waiting for today to get here, how the h e double hockey sticks am I supposed to survive until 2022??? You evil genius TJ!

Oh how I adore Nick Bell. Like completely and utterly adore and would do anything to protect him from this cold, cruel, ugly world. But as adorably clueless as he still is, Nick really comes into his own in Flash Fire and I don't think he'd actually need my protection. No, scratch that, he still needs protecting, if only from himself.

There is a lot packed into FF- action, suspense, silliness, love and friendship, surprises, so many surprises. This book gave me so much more than I ever anticipated, and I loved it so very much. It's laugh out loud hilarious at times- see chapters 1 & 2 for reference. It's so endearing, thanks to the sweetest romance between Nick and Seth, I can hardly contain my heart. The friendships between Nick, Seth, Jazz, and Gibby are still the best, I love how they always have each others backs, no matter what. Like The Extraordinaries, it's full of feels, especially when it comes to Nick and his dad. They have such a wonderful relationship, even when things between them get tough, and they definitely do in this book.

I know there were quite a few people upset with how certain things were handled in book one, when it came to Aaron Bell and the way the police force was portrayed. I think most people will be satisfied with the way TJ addressed that in this book, although I'm sure there'll still be those who won't think it's enough. I appreciate that he took the feedback to heart and made some changes-still giving us that heartwarming father/son relationship which is so pivotal to these books, while at the same time having Nick realize that his father isn't infallible.

With this series TJ Klune has created a world I know I'll never want to leave, I will always want more. Hopefully 2021 will continue to fly by because I cannot wait to see what it's in store for Nick, Seth, Gibby, and Jazz. If that ending is any indication, it's sure to be explosive!

Great continuing story!

This was a great continuing story. TJ Klune always spins a great epic tale. Only problem is waiting for the next book.

Loved it!!

Really well read and a great story to boot! Better than book one with a great cliffhanger at the end. My thirteen year old and I really enjoyed the ride!

Nicky, Yes!!!

Whoever said sequels are never as good as the first ones is wrong, this book was even better than the first one.

awesome book 2!

As always great book. Now we must wait for the next book. I hope it's not long in coming.

Yessssss!

I'm so glad I waited to finish this book after the 3rd one came out.

Bringing you life

I'm always excited to read (using Audible) a T.J. Klune book. Michael Lesley brings these books to life with his narration. Klune sounds an extraordinary tale and Lesley just makes it that much better. When he says "Nicky" I laugh, it's just hilarious how it sounds. I laughed, I cried, I yelled, I felt like I knew these characters, as I often do with Klune's books. Can't wait to get started on the next one.

amazing!

Such a fun read with just the right amount of mystery. I love the characters and the narration is wonderful.
