This book was not as spectacular as I had expected. Liked the arsenist part, the race against the clock to catch him before he does a whole lot of damage.
What didn't impress me at all, was the romance part. It was really just like a Harlequin-book and that's not something I wanted to read in a book that's advertised as a thriller. (

Firestorm is an intense read that is hard to put down and full of action and emotion. (

It was an okay book, the villain was really messed up which I enjoy in books but the one thing I did not care for was the physic element. I just don't really enjoy a book when it has a physic cop or in this case a fire inspector looking for a killer using physic ability, it's just to much like cheating to me. That and I believe all physics are fakes. (

A romance mystery with paranormal element. I didn't like it. It was a romance of the minds but still using sex to sell books. (

I. hated. this. book.
I read to page 28 and I honestly could not continue.
From what I've read the premise is this -- Kerry, the main female character, had a traumatic experience with fire as a kid and this now gives her psychic powers to tell when someone dies in a fire. Presumedly, because of these psychic abilities of hers a man is able to "enter her" and calm her and essentially save her from her own undoing.

I could not move beyond the "enter her" and "come out of her" without giggling like a boy in junior high during sex ed. I literally pissed people off because I tweeted about every single reference to entering and exiting her. I think I was told to grow up and stop reading it that way. I literally could not.

Just like I literally could not read another sentence from this HORRIBLE book. I will be putting it in the recycling bin to save anyone else from having to read it.

Description du livre

Résumé
Kerry Murphy est enquêtrice au sein de la brigade des pompiers d'Atlanta et, si elle a mené jusqu'ici une vie sans encombre, ses vieux démons menacent de ressurgir du passé. Un pyromane sème la terreur dans la ville - une série d'événements qui ne sont pas sans rappeler la mort tragique de sa mère dans un incendie quand Kerry n'était encore qu'une enfant.
Son existence est soudain bouleversée par l'arrivée de Brad Silver, un mystérieux jeune homme qui partage son désir d'anéantir Trask, pyromane en série et créateur d'une arme redoutable : la 'tempête de feu'. Qui est vraiment Silver? Pourquoi a-t-il choisi Kerry? Et surtout, comment ce parfait étranger peut-il la connaître jusqu'au plus profond de son âme?
