Harmony asked Penelope Douglas:

Just finished reading Bully. LUUUVVEE it <3 If I don't read Rival and Falling Away would I still be able to understand "Aflame"? Will there be major spoilers to those two books? Is it necessary to read the other two stories in the Fall Away series before reading Aflame?

Penelope Douglas Hey! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

You'll probably be able to muddle through, but Jared and Tate are in Rival and Falling Away quite a bit, so there's more development to see. And the heroes and heroines of Rival and Falling Away are in Aflame, so yes, there will be spoilers about their stories, since they already happened. It's up to you!

Gigi asked Penelope Douglas:

Hi Penelope! I just finished reading Next to Never after revisiting the Fall Away series after a year. I'm so stoked that the kids will get their own books! I'm already wishing that 2017 would end so next spring would arrive :D Anyhoo, I just wanted to ask, what would the spin-off series be called? Whenever it will be released, the wait will be damn agonising for sure :'(

Is Aflame taking place after Falling Away? Or was in in the middle somewhere? (BTW Falling Away was incredible in my opinion. The events that happened were tragic yet realistic. I like that you don't stay away from touchy subjects such as the ones Jax went through). I'm excited for the others!

This question is for Madoc! You once referred to little Dylan as a "viper", do you still think of her that way? :P
