Tate and Jared are definitely my favorite couple of the Fall Away series and they hold a special place in my heart. This is simply a novella to catch up with all the characters and give a lead-in to the coming spin-off series. That will be a full length novel eventually. **Also Note: Next to Never is not Quinn's story.

For those readers who desired paperbacks of Aflame to complete their collections, this is it. It is Aflame and Next to Never together in one book. *Please note: The Next Flame is not a new story.
