Firestorm SIZZLES!

I just finished this novel today as a reward to a grueling week and the first thing I have to say is that it is ironic that Iris Johansen and I were on the same ‘wavelength’ in 2004, with both of us publishing a novel about female psychics who investigate arsons or suspicious fires. I have been a longtime fan of Johansen--long before she branched out into the romantic suspense genre and this novel did not let me down.

In Firestorm, she takes a seemingly normal arson investigator, Kerry, with a trained arson dog who is given all the credit and throws her together with a mysterious and somewhat ‘controlling’ mystery man, Brad Silver. Add to this Trask, the evil genius who designed Firestorm, a secret government project that could annihilate an entire city with the press of a button.

At first, Kerry is resistant to helping Silver track down Trask. Until the madman targets her brother’s house. With Silver’s not-so-patient guidance, Kerry fine-tunes her ‘gift’ and the chase is on. With plot twists and subplots that involve a fire from Kerry’s past and a flaming romance with Silver, this is a novel that sizzles. I read it last night. In one sitting.
