The Way You Burn by Christine Meade
3.0

Thanks to booksforwardpr for the gifted book.

3.5
This was an interesting debut. I didn't realize until the end that the use of second person (which seems so rare in books) narration were David's letters to Hope.

David finds out he inherited his grandfather's cabin which throws him as he didn't feel he got along too great with his dad's dad.

David is working at a job for a Boston news station. He meets Hope walking by on the street during an assignment and gets her number. They start dating.

Hope is mysterious about the burns on her body and it takes David so long to get the truth out of her. She was very manipulative and when a few strange things start happening around the cabin, he's quick to blame her.

David befriends an old man Harold and helps take care of him.

Through both Hope and Harold, he unearths the secret his family has held onto for so many years.
