BLURB: Beth and Donovan are now
happily married, and what Beth wants more than anything is a baby. Her dream of
starting a family is put on hold as fires burn dangerously close and Donovan
becomes a victim of sabotage.
Donovan escapes what could've been a deadly wreck. Their past enemies
have been eliminated, so who is cutting brake lines and leaving bloody
messages? He vows to find out, for the sake of the woman he loves and the life
they're trying to build.
Amidst a criminal mind game, a fire ignites next to their home.
They battle the flames and fight to keep their house safe from the blaze
pressing in on all sides, but neither of them expects to confront a psychotic
adversary in the middle of the inferno.
Their lives may just go up in flames…
EXCERPT: Beth’s heart clenched at the sight of the smoke stacks, as if a fist
had driven through her chest and was squeezing the meaty human drum,
paralyzing it. She gripped the door handle. The faster Donovan drove and
the closer they got to home, to those tiers of billowing, dark smoke,
the more
anxious she became. Donovan’s words
replayed in her head.
It looks like it’s
right next to our house.
Her heart woke from its coma and punched
her ribcage like a boxer attacking a speed bag. Perspiration dampened her
underarms and slicked her palms. Please, God, no. I can’t lose my
home again.
The smoke stack was soon right in front
of them, right where their home was located. Donovan turned down their street,
and the tower of smoke loomed above them. Fire consumed the empty lot next to
their house. Flames ate their way up the bark spines of pine trees. Orange
flickers slithered along the length of the branches, reaching toward the roof.
The fire was descending upon their forever home as a raiding army would race
toward a city with swords drawn.
Donovan floored it down the street and
brought the truck to a jerking stop in the driveway. He jumped out of the truck
without taking the key out of the ignition. Beth
shoved the door open and stumbled out
onto the driveway.
“Call the fire department, pack some
clothes. I’m getting the hose.” Donovan raced toward the fire and slipped
around the side of the house.
REVEIW:
Truer words were never been written before, these two need to stay locked up in their house. Oh wait, that won’t even help them, the antagonist, both natural and human, come to their door step in this newest installment of Disaster Crimes. Disaster is the perfect word for these two, even so I can’t help but love them.
What I liked about this book is that the natural disaster isn’t the main antagonist like it was in Tsunami Crimes. I like the way that Ms. Fey changed that between the two books. It gave the book a different feel which gives the walking, married disaster duos’ situation different enough that the book wasn’t the same old same old. The reader also gets a more in-depth look into Donovan job, Monster Truck racing.
This book gives me hope for more in this series but with a different focus. Thorn perhaps? Lots of steam, lots of love and lots of surviving. 4.5 stars!
