Serial Burn by Lynette Eason: Book Review

The Book

She's out for justice. But the arsonist she's tracking is out for retribution.

Now the fire marshal of Lake City, Jesslyn McCormick is determined to find the person who started the fire that robbed her of her family when she was just seven years old. As the twentieth anniversary of the tragedy approaches, a string of fires--including at Jesslyn's church--brings up all those old feelings and offers new evidence.

Because church fires are considered a hate crime, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to work with local law enforcement. Nathan has his own past--one he'd prefer not to revisit. And focusing on helping Jesslyn track down the arsonist is a great distraction.

As both the case and the chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan heat up, memories will come flooding in from the past to bump up against hopes for the future. And when Jesslyn comes face-to-face with her worst nightmare, she'll have to confront her fears and rely on Nathan and her community of friends in order to survive.

Book Review

Serial Burn is the third book in the Lake City Heroes series but could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone in you have not yet read those books yet. 

Every time I pick up a book by Lynette Eason, I know without a doubt that I'm in for a story that is going to keep me at the edge of my seat from start to finish. This one was certainly no exception. Jesslyn has dedicated her entire life and career as a fire marshal to tracking down the arsonist responsible for the death of her family when she was a young child. After a series of fires seem like they are related, it seems like the secrets of her past are closer than ever. I don't want to give too much away, but there were definitely a whole lot of secrets coming to light in this story...so many twists and turns to keep me guessing. And of course, I adored the romance between Jesslyn and Nathan... while I definitely feel like the suspense took center stage, these two had great chemistry and I loved seeing their story play out as well. If you love Christian romantic suspense, this is absolutely one you'll want to check out! 

(Note: There are a few mentions of suicide, which could be triggering for some readers.)
