Emberly Pearson is back and in this installment of author
Keri Arthur's "The Souls of Fire" series, she and her
partner Jackson Miller are about to FLAMEOUT on some bad
guys. She is a Phoenix and he is a Fire Fae the perfect
combination to fight the red crimson virus before it
annihilates the human population.
Unfortunately there are too many beings that want their
hands of the information that this team is searching for.
Vampires, werewolves, the Paranormal Investigations Team
and witches are all wanting something from them, and all
they want is to find the missing scientific papers that
might lead to the end of the crazed Red Cloaks. Think
zombies with Borg mentality and that's the cloaks, as they
are the ones who have been infected by the virus.
FLAMEOUT is a dark and rather gritty urban fantasy. The
one
thing I have always noted, and mostly admired about author
Keri Arthur is that she doesn't hesitate to have bad
things
happen to her characters and the same can be said for
Emberly in this book. I guess she believes what doesn't
kill you makes your stronger as she allows her Phoenix
heart be broken in the end but I can't say how or that
will
definitely be a spoiler. Suffice to say a lot happens in
this book with a variety of characters, good and bad that
come to life in these pages. Ms. Arthur has a way with
words that brings to life the very world that her
characters live in. I have to admit I have always enjoyed
the tastes and touches of Australia in her various series.
Regrettably, for me, the relationship between Emberly and
Jackson doesn't come off in the least bit romantic, they
feed the fire off each other, literally, but as far as
being emotionally involved, I just didn't feel it. I'm
really not sure if they are supposed to feel that way
toward
each other or are just friends with benefits. I guess we
will have to wait and see for the next installment of the
series to see where this all goes. If you want fiery,
after
all she's a Phoenix and he's a Fire Fae, remember, a lot
of
dark danger, various characters that you will love or hate
and some touching sweet moments then FLAMEOUT is a book
you
will want to read.

nemesis—or go down in a blaze of glory...
