Born in Fire

Born in fire

The cover initially drew me in, and upon reading the description on the back, I thought they should be a good read. Despite that, the first two chapters left me feeling a bit uncertain, I am the kind of person who likes to see a book through once I've started. So I kept reading however, I did not have to read much further as chapter 3 got me hooked. Before I knew it, I found myself 17 chapters deep and still wide awake at midnight, unwilling to put the book down.

Eventually, I had to reluctantly set it aside to get some sleep, but the very next day, I devoured the rest of the book. Well, the ending left me somewhat disappointed I am hopeful that the next book in a series will bring about a change. I absolutely loved Reagan and her strong female lead persona. Her independent nature and refusal to rely on anyone was genuinely badass. She was not one to play the damsel in Distress.

The dynamic between Reagan and her vampire had me wanting more of them. I must say the lively rapport between Regina and her fellow Hunters had me laughing out loud. The witty exchanges between her and one particular hunter add some enjoyment to the story. Reagan's relationship with the magical community in general was intriguing. Her relationship with the norms was not so great either.

She is your typical lone wolf, fiercely independent and self-reliant. She is determined to tackle everything alone. Reagan takes on various obstacles with a lot of resilience, resourcefulness and sometimes pure dumb luck. Soon she realizes that sometimes having a little help can go a long way, and not everyone is out to get her.

In the end, I really enjoyed this book
