Up in Smoke by T.M. Frazier
5.0
I had only read Bear and Rage’s stories along with some of King’s when I saw that Ms. Frazier was writing Smoke’s book and I couldn’t wait to read Up in Smoke. I read all the main books in the King series while I was waiting and it just made me even more excited for Smoke! And as soon as I finished the last of the anthology I had been reading when I got Up in Smoke, I immediately dove into it. And oh, I loved it so much, it was beyond fantastic and I have that happy/sad feeling you get when you’re happy about finishing the book, but you’re also sad it’s over.
It’s hard to tell you who I loved more between Frankie and Smoke because they were both such great characters, but I think Frankie actually gets the honor, so without further ado, let’s talk about Smoke. I loved that man even when he drove me crazy and I wanted to shake him. He’ll challenge you and frustrate you, but it’s impossible not to love him. Smoke is rough and coarse, but he has his sweet, soft moments that will just make you melt and steal your heart. I loved him before and I only fell deeper the more I got to really know him — he’s a wonderful hero.
And Frankie is a total BOSS — man, I loved that girl! She’s super smart, she’s incredibly strong and brave and she has an iron will. She tries to do things on her terms and she never gives up on that. Frankie is kind, good-hearted, and giving. She understands Smoke and she knows who she is. Frankie is absolutely amazing and I wholeheartedly loved her!
If I had been able to read Up in Smoke from start to finish with no interruptions, trust me I would have, but I returned to it as soon as I could. It was exciting, captivating, and entertaining. It made my heart ache and melt, it made me laugh and smile and it got my blood racing. I enjoyed reading Up in Smoke so much and I will be eagerly awaiting any future book with these cast of characters!
Up in Smoke is a standalone although you might want to read the awesomeness that is All the Rage first. It’s told from Smoke and Frankie’s POV and they do get their happily-ever-after.
