Fresh Fiction Review

Winterblaze

Paranormal Romance

The gloomy streets of London are the backdrop to WINTERBLAZE, the third book in Kristen Callihan's Darkest London series. It is the perfect setting for an action- filled romance and I get giddy just thinking about returning to this world! Winston Lane and his wife, Poppy are experiencing tides within their marriage. After a betrayal is revealed, Win feels as if he can no longer trust his wife after she has kept secrets away from him. However, what is interesting about this couple in particular is the fact that despite the supernatural powers they possess, the major conflict between them lies within their hearts and their ability to forgive. So in the midst of all the action, the demon appearances, and the zombie attacks, there is a core conflict that underlies this book that I think romance readers will love and devour. Kristen Callihan is a master storyteller. She displays her unique talent for plotting and pacing with absolute ease, yet I cannot fathom the amount of planning it takes to pull off what she has accomplished in WINTERBLAZE. The resolution is perfectly executed and will be sure to cause some jaws to drop with its cleverness. WINTERBLAZE reminds me of a supernatural Mr. & Mrs. Smith -- a sexy, no-holds-barred, action-packed, zombie-slaying, well-done reconciliation story that readers do not want to miss! I am going out on a limb here and saying that it will be one of my favorites of 2013. WINTERBLAZE is simply perfection!

SUMMARY

Once blissfully in love . . .
Poppy Lane is keeping secrets. Her powerful gift has earned her membership in the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals, but she must keep both her ability and her alliance with the Society from her husband, Winston. Yet when Winston is brutally attacked by a werewolf, Poppy's secrets are revealed, leaving Winston's trust in her as broken as his body. Now Poppy will do anything to win back his affections . . .

Their relationship is now put to the ultimate test.
Winston Lane soon regains his physical strength but his face and heart still bear the scars of the vicious attack. Drawn into the darkest depths of London, Winston must fight an evil demon that wants to take away the last hope of reconciliation with his wife. As a former police inspector, Winston has intelligence and logic on his side. But it will take the strength of Poppy's love for him to defeat the forces that threaten to tear them apart.
