Dark on Fire

Miller’s Pointe Romantic Suspense & Romantic Mystery #1

by Candice Jenee'

Coming home after her grandparents’ mysterious death and stalked by a madman, is she willing to face the fire?

“You’re safe. We’re safe. You don’t have to save anyone. I recognized the placating words immediately. Counselors had been telling me that since I was a child, after the fire, after I already saved someone. And, after someone told me I wasn’t worth saving myself.” Calliope Walden didn’t understand the terrorizing notes she received when she was seven; and she doesn’t understand them now that they’ve started again. Shortly after the notes began again, her grandparents died in a fire eerily similar to the one that took her parents two decades ago. Now, she is forced to face a past she’s never fully dealt with, and a future she’s unsure of. Along with her younger sister and cousin, she’s desperately seeking answers in a town where people aren’t always as they appear. Finding friends on her suspect list and a handsome rancher who just may be her undoing, can she stop the madness before she loses anyone else?

* Fans of Hallmark Mystery movies will enjoy this small town, single POV romantic suspense/cozy mystery.
**This book contains themes of domestic violence, death, grief, and stalking which may be difficult for some readers.

It’s been awhile since I stayed up late to finish a book and Dark on Fire was the perfect one to get me back into reading. The characters were all endearing and I was quick to root for them, the mystery was intriguing and surprising and I felt like I was in the cozy and slow moving town the story was set in

This book was a quick, easy, intriguing read. I really love the town the author created. I found myself longing for a rainy, misty day by the ocean! There were some tough topics in the book, but the author didn’t make it feel too heavy. The mystery kept me engaged up to the end. I like all the characters a lot. I was happy to see a note in the back saying we’ll get stories for the other characters!
I received a free copy of this book from the author, but all views expressed are my own.
