Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2) As we all know, Katniss & Peeta became the first dual winners of the 74th Hunger Games. And while many in Panem are excited and reenergized by this feat, the Capitol and President Snow are not impressed. They view Katniss' stunt with the berries as rebellion. They also don't buy the story of Katniss and Peeta as star-crossed lovers.

As Katniss and Peeta prepare for their Victory Tour, set midway between the games, President Snow pays Katniss a surprise visit and leaves her with a threat. Either convince the Capitol and all of Panem that you are madly in love with Peeta, or those you love with die, starting with Gale. He also informs Katniss that her "stunt" at the Games has set off a chain reaction of rebellion throughout the Districts. She must not fan those flames or else.

How can you smoulder a spark you didn't even mean to light, especially when you, a poor coalminer's daughter, have become the symbol of hope for a generation? Katniss better figure it out and fast. Especially since the Quarter Quell is approaching... and every 25 year anniversary of the Hunger Games holds it's own special treat for Panem. And this year's twist will no doubt leave everyone on the edge of their seats.
