A decent end to the trilogy. The time travel and how the Cataluna/Catherine were finally defeated didn't make a lot of sense, but it was a fast & mindless read. Also, there was no fire? Like, the title is The Deadly Fire...where was the fire?
In The Deadly Fire, the final installment of the Cataluna trilogy, Buddy McCloy can't stay away from the sinister Cataluna car—even though it’s already killed his brother. When he rolls the dice for one more race, he may lose more than the checkered flag. At just under 150 pages, this YA horror piece blends supernatural suspense, teenage obsession, and high-speed dread for a chilling finale. Ideal for thriller-seeking teens and R. L. Stine fans.

This was a very poor attempt to rip off Stephen King's novel about a demon car. It really wasn't that great.
