4.5 stars !! This was another really quick read and I cannot recommend this series enough! I really felt for John's predicament and I couldn't image how scary a fire spreading through your city with no real way to stop it would be. The plot twist was done really well and it was an excellent solution to the problem the plot presented. This my third favorite in the series, but I still cannot recommend it enough!
