I’m generally a huge fan of Sylvia Day, but this couple left me scratching my head. I’ll reserve full judgement after reading the second part to their story. (

a shockingly unappealing ending!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this book a bit short but I liked the characters. (

I've already read and loved Sylvia's Crossfire Series, and if I like an author, I try to read all of their books. So I had to read this one, of course.

My first and probably only complain about Afterburn is that it was too short. And it ended with a cliffhanger. Thank goodness I had already borrowed the book two, or I'd have been cursing the author right about now.

Afterburn was steamy, heartbreaking and hooking. I did not want to stop reading once I started.

I loved the characters, I loved the setting, and I'm glad I decided to read it.

On to the next book now! Aftershock, here I come! (

Having read a number of Sylvia Day's books by now, I am used to her writing style and the way she captures you quickly. I wasn't ready though for the fact that I got to the end of the book so quickly and I want more. Reading on a kindle has that effect sometimes; with an actual book you know when you're nearing the end but not with an eReader. I was so engrossed in the story and WHAT - HEY NO, I'm not ready for it to end yet. Looking forward to Aftershock. Love Gia, Love Jax - another hit series. (
