About the Book:
Her heart pounds at the sound of footsteps outside her cabin in the woods. The snap of a twig tells her someone is close by. As she treads lightly towards the back door, she says a silent prayer—don’t let him find me…
Ever since Jessie Lewis reported her boyfriend, fire chief and local hero, for beating her, she’s been an outcast from the small town of Eagle Falls. And when someone sets fire to a house in the woods, killing the entire Troyer family, the locals turn on her again, taking her very public argument with Paul Troyer as proof that she lit the match.
Devastated that anyone could think her capable of murder, Jessie turns to Ruth. New in town, and an ex-FBI agent, Ruth could be the exact person Jessie needs to smoke out the murderer. But can she trust her with her life?
Days later, another house linked to Jessie is set ablaze. Combing the ashes for answers, she catches sight of an inscription she hasn’t seen since her childhood—since she lost someone very close to her. Is the killer is coming for her next?
As local wildfires take hold of the town and everyone is evacuated, Jessie knows she must put herself in unthinkable danger to catch the killer. And when she does, will she have the strength to take them down first?

My Thoughts
Such a descriptive opening that really had me wanting to be in the town. I do see in the first two chapters that it’s so descriptive which can at times knock you out of the story. However the descriptions are amazing so I can forgive being pushed out of story mode.
Jessie I really like the character feeling that a lot of the issues she has is because of inept Sherriff as well as all the lying that former friends and co workers did.
I find I enjoy the angle with the fires. Living in Canada and also visiting the far north of Canada where this is very common to have the wild fires that can cause mass evacuations it made the story hit home more.
The character of Ruth to me feels like the best character in the book. She was well designed with backstory as well as faults and virtues. I really find her to be amazing and just want so much more for her as she seems to be missing something. She is a great mom but I would love to see her an an FBI agent so that we could really see what she was like.
The story was fast paced and kept my attention fully. It had so many wow factor moments.
What I loved about this book was how many plot twists there were that you would never see coming. It kept me guessing and kept me wanting more.
I think what I liked the most it had strong female characters that were able to succeed despite everything that was thrown at them. Seldom am I taken completely by surprise in a book and this really did it. I didn’t know which way to turn and with each chapter I fell more in love with this book.
In some ways the book had too much description however it did set the scene well especially in small town USA.
This book has me hooked and I will be going back to read the other books that this wonderful author has written.
This is truly one fiery explosive book.
