#2 Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

#2 Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)

by Suzanne Collins

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

Sadly, the nightmare is not over for Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch. The Capitol is planning something special for this year’s 75th Hunger Games. Something that will teach the people once and for all that they can’t fight the Capitol’s will. This year’s contestants will be drawn from the winners of the prior Hunger Games and make no mistake, this time there will be only one winner!!

We are again be drawn in the horrors of the Hunger Games. After all the trouble they have caused, the Capitol wants to make sure that the Katniss and Peeta don’t succeed this time.
When Katniss and Peeta return to District 12, it is not the beginning of the happy ending. Their romance is being scrutinized, as are the everyday happenings of District 12. Rules that have been ignored for decades are being enforced. Anything to bring pain to Katniss and her people. Katniss can't decide whether she should be with Peeta or Gale, as each will be hurt by her decision.
When Katniss and Peeta begin their champions tour of the Districts, they see first hand the oppression of the Capitol which is only stronger now since the failure at the Games and the rising of the rebellion.
Then comes the shocking announcement that to celebrate the 75th year of the games, they will be choosing from the prior winners, Katniss and Peeta know that their chances are slim.
Again, a gripping tale of survival against all odds.
