I know I need to check it out for sure. It sounds so interesting and I'm happy to hear it has such a diverse group of genres that it can appeal to a wider audiance. I also like the cover. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-25165747965897782692011-10-29T21:05:57.204+03:002011-10-29T21:05:57.204+03:00I just finished Cold Fire and I agree that it wasn...I just finished Cold Fire and I agree that it wasn't as good as book 1. The beginning was full of secondary characters that I couldn't remember and there was just too much going on throughout, plus I had a hard time keeping track of all the politics. And the ending felt off to me with a couple of climatic events and then Cat going back to waitressing. What was with that? And since I've become friendly with the author I feel weird writing a negative review of the book. I hate when that happens.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-88143604908115096082011-10-23T23:14:44.149+03:002011-10-23T23:14:44.149+03:00Melissa
