“”Time held no meaning as my mind darted in and out of memories. Past and present collided to create a full-sensory collage out of my life: playing hide-n-seek with my best friends Luke–who always cheated by walking through walls when he was about to be caught–and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin critiquing my sketches and offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets changing faces, blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through my mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows of my memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting.

And then I dreamed….”

Sam and Drake may have escaped, but they aren’t free–not with a powerful Seeker after them. As Sam struggles with the ethics of her new powers and embraces a blossoming physical relationship with Drake, Lucy and Luke face challenges of their own.

With forces coalescing inside and outside the Rent-A-Kid dorms, it’s only a matter of time before the fire they started forces each of them to make choices they can’t undo. But will it be enough to save them?”

This is Book 2 in this series and sequel to Forbidden Mind. 

The first thing you really notice is that there is “more” in this book. More action, more characters, more violence and definitely more sub-plots; I could go on. It really expands upon the basic premise that the first book lays down and takes the story to a whole new level.

I found Forbidden Mind to be geared more towards women; the romance aspect tipped the scales in its favor. However Forbidden Fire is much more gender neutral as the action and other plots have increased exponentially.

This novel was fast paced, easy to read and all-in-all quite well done.

The violence, graphic imagery and death toll in the book bump it up to a 16+ rating, in my opinion. Some might argue that is too high, but I’ll stick to my guns.

There is quite obviously going to be a third book, though this one wraps up a few details it does leave one giant burning question behind… what?? You thought I was going to tell you what that is? Of course not!

You’re just going to have to read it!

You can find Forbidden Fire on Amazon. (As far as I can tell that is the only place it is currently available. If I’m wrong I’ll be sure to update this!)

Thanks for reading; see you Saturday!
