The first review is in, and it's 5 stars! Well, candles, actually. Thank you, Mistress of Book Reviews!
C J Bahr's third book in her Fire Chronicles series is fantastic. If you've never been to New Orleans, you will want to go after reading Redeemed By Fire, and if you have already been, you'll want to go back. This author gives readers an excellent view of NOLA, not to mention characters who will make you want to pull up a seat and stay awhile. I've been blessed to have read the first two books in this series, and I loved both, but there is just something about a good-looking man who has the most sensual and romantic Cajun accent that will have women queuing up to find out what makes Lucas Avery tick.
Perhaps it's his always do right and follow the letter of the law, for the most part, attitude, which is a good rule to follow because Luc is a detective with the New Orleans P.D. He catches bad guys and puts them away. And that is where our adorable and feisty heroine comes into play. Although labeled a bad sort, Cassanne Thomas only wants to be left alone. Hurt by accusations that are not true send her to New Orleans, where she hopes to start a new life, but a serial killer murders her best friend and is leaving victims all over the place. A mode of operation that has Luc totally c'est fou or if you don't speak Cajun, crazy.
Well, what I can say but soon Luc and Casi find themselves in danger and hunted by a supernatural creature. The siren who kidnaps Casi bites off enough to choke, but that only puts Casi in the crosshairs, because the lovely mortal has a charm the siren will kill to get back.
Exciting, you betcha, and with the siren stalking Luc and Casi, they have their hands full. The closer they get to stopping the killer the more Luc and Casi realize they belong together. As I've said before, I don't give away any secrets when it comes to reviews. Just know this book is suspenseful, romantic, and since the city of New Orleans is filled with the supernatural, let's throw in an archangel for good measure. Now hop on a trolley and make certain you get your hands on Redeemed By Fire. Ms. Bahr does not disappoint. Oh, yeah, the cat steals their thunder. -- The Mistress Of Book Reviews
