    About this audiobook

    When Reece Johnston was a boy, a fire destroyed his home, killing his mother and brothers while leaving him scarred for life. It also kindled something dark inside him: an irresistible attraction to flames in all their terrifying, tantalizing power. But after two failed arson attempts—and two trips to the mental ward—he was finally able to put down the matches and pick up the pieces.

    With a career as a bestselling crime writer going strong, Reece is working to fix his broken marriage to Lisa and be there for their preteen daughter, Anna. He’s not just dealing with his own demons; there’s a world of deadly hurt bearing down on him in the form of the jealous rival he’s bested in literature and love, who’s determined to see Reece crash…and burn. But a guy like Reece knows how to take the heat. And thanks to his lifelong friendship with fire, he also knows how to bring it.

      This novel is a story about a man possessed by demons that have haunted him from childhood when his mother accidentally burnt down the house, killing herself and his brothers. Reese Johnston became obsessed with fire, with setting fires, with matches, with burning. He has been institutionalized. He has had nervous breakdowns. His marriage crumbled as he wallowed in writer's block and lost himself. Now he has managed after eight years to move back in with his ex, but she keeps reminding him to take his meds and is uncomfortable leaving him alone with their eight year old daughter. Can he hold it together or is he gonna fall apart again? Is he too consumed with jealousy over the guy Lisa lived with for the past eight years? Is someone plotting his downfall? With his checkered past, will anyone believe that he is not some evil psychopath or are they actually right? Although it sounds a bit like a soap opera, it's not. It's a powerful novel about a guy out in the edge trying to hold it together. It's well written, particularly once you get past the first chapter or two, and really starts charging along. It has its humorous moments when the cops compare Reese's novels to Connelly's or mention other crime fiction writers in passing. It is a hard novel to categorize as it is not purely crime fiction and not purely a psychological thriller. It is a book that could have wide appeal. Zandri has an easy writing style that fits perfectly with the pace of this novel which starts out slowly, but packs quite a charge as it gets going. In my opinion, it is well worth your time.

      I don't usually read thrillers, but this looked interesting so i gave it a try. Kind of starts slowly, but picks up pretty well in the last third. Many of the characters are a bit flat, and the plot is a little unrealistic. Still, not bad, and better than some movies I have seen.
    • 2/5
      There was a horrible accident: the slang wagon was t-boned by the cliche truck, and the debris scattered all throughout this book. The protagonist consistently makes resoundingly bad and improbably decisions, and every coincidence that could happen does happen. The final reveal earned a full star by itself for boldness, but I can't say it wasn't telegraphed long before. On the bright side, I got it for free, and it didn't take long to read. Unfortunately, e-books, as a medium, are highly resistant to burning.
