(See my review of "Amanda" for my series overview.)
I actually didn't read this one during Sunfire Brain Takeover Mark One, and I'm kinda glad I didn't. I think my 13 year old self would have been bored. My 27 year old self was well enough entertained, but because I am a big giant quibbler, quibble I will.
But before I poke holes in it, I ought to mention the plot. Recently-orphaned Elizabeth Fallon, along with her brother and sister, is travelling to Saugus, Massachusetts to take More...

About 15 years ago, I could not get enough of the Sunfire series. I think I read every single book that I could get my hands on at the local library. I never got a chance to read Elizabeth though. A friend recently told me that she had it, so she let me borrow it.
Perhaps the Sunfire books lose something when you are over the age of 16. They all follow the same basic plotline. Girl is torn between 2 potential suitors and has to make a choice. One of the suitors is usually the st More...

I liked it, but there are a lot of things I would change if I could. I can't help but think it might have been a lot more exciting if it were actually set in Salem, and not a neighboring town. Like, we could have felt that raw fear of more people accused, rather than here about it second-hand from some minor/major characters.
Lacking that, it would have been better if Elizabeth was accused and not her friend. Sure the bit about her choosing whether to obey her family and boyfrien More...

After a string of predictable Schurfranz Sunfires, this couldn't help but be an improvement. Boy howdy, was it!
Elizabeth Fallon comes to Saugus, MA with her brother & sister in tow, the unfortunate objects of charity by her uncle, who doesn't let them forget for one minute just how grateful they should be. He's a forbidding, hardline Puritan and his more footloose kin from Boston don't sit well with him. As soon as Elizabeth and her siblings arrive in Saugus, they get a taste of the More...

I loved this book soooo much when I was a teenager. It was oh so romantic to my 14 year old self. I want to read it again, now that I am an adult (but it would probably be stupid now). The Sunfire Romance novels were what got me hooked on reading! Every book is basically the same formula, historical fiction with one girl who can't decided between two loves, a good boy and a bad boy. Looking back, I guess they were silly, but I loved them. Especially this one, it was my favorite! This one is abou

Was Elizabeth suspected as a witch? I don't remember. Drats! But as soon as I saw the cover, I knew this is one of the books in the Sunfire series that I read. Why are the covers to these books seared into my memory?
And why does it seem like only white gals made it into the Sunfire series? Were no young women of color having romances in any of the historical periods covered by Sunfire?

I'm not ashamed to say that I read every Sunfire book I could get my hands on in high school! Elizabeth was the first one I read and I quickly burned through the rest of the series. Bless Mrs. Skinner for keeping these books in the library.

I read these when I was younger...MUCH younger :) ...as an adult, I realize now that they really are poorly written, but still intriguing.
