Blessed by Fire: A Special Investigations Novel, my first read from author C.D. P W Hillard. I was given an Audible copy of Consumption (Special Investigations, #3)by P.W. Hillard & wanted to read the first 2 books in the series before reading it. Not a bad book, just not particularly to my liking. Bordering on paranormal horror, never-the-less well-written, I can see where readers of this particular genre would enjoy the book. On to Darkest Thoughts: A Horror Novella (Special Investigations, #2). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
