FIRE SEASON is the fourth book in the Eric
Carter series and my introduction to the series.
Starting with book four may be a bit unwise since that means
I've missed a lot of events in Eric Carter's life. On the
plus side, I found the book to be easy to get into, and I
loved that it was action from page one to the very end. In
this book, Eric Carter is framed for murdering mags with
fire, and he's quite sure that the god Quetzalcoatl is
behind it all. Soon it goes from killing mags to setting
buildings in Los Angeles on fire and Eric must find a way to
stop Quetzalcoatl for good!
This is a book that I hoped I would like more than I did. I
felt that the story in this book just didn't interest me the
way I hoped it would. Don't take me wrong. I did love the
idea of the book, and I found the humor and the action
entertaining. But, on some level, I just felt not totally
invested in the story. It could be because I've not read the
previous books and I hope to one day get to them. I did like
the fact that Eric Carter is married to Mictecacihuatl alias
Santa Muerte and getting a divorce seems to be out of the
question. Just this fact makes me want to start to read the
books from the beginning. Reading the book as a stand-alone
was not bad, I didn't feel a bit confused over what was
going on; well, expect for the Aztec god's names. They are
quite a mouthful. However, I think it would be wise to read
the books in the right order rather than picking the fourth
book as I did. I think FIRE SEASON will really appeal to
those like me that like to read urban fantasy.
The fourth book of this dark urban fantasy series follows
necromancer Eric Carter through a world of vengeful gods and
goddesses, mysterious murders, and restless ghosts.
Los Angeles is burning.
During one of the hottest summers the city has ever seen,
someone is murdering mages with fires that burn when they
shouldn’t, that don’t stop when they should. Necromancer
Eric Carter is being framed for the killings and hunted by
his own people.
To Carter, everything points to the god Quetzalcoatl coming
after him, after he defied the mad wind god in the Aztec
land of the dead. But too many things aren’t adding up, and
Carter knows there’s more going on.
If he doesn’t figure out what it is and put a stop to it
fast, Quetzalcoatl won’t just kill him, he’ll burn the whole
damn city down with him.
