Synopsis:
 
Aria’s pyrokinetic ability has always been hard to control, and being pulled in so many directions, isn’t making it any easier. Now she has to help Inarus, a foe turned friend who is being targeted by the Human Alliance Corporation - the very organization he once worked for.
 
But the HAC has more than just Inarus in their sights. Aria finds herself going deep into enemy territory to save a witchling child with never before seen powers, that the HAC has kidnapped to further their own ends.
 
Aria has been hired to save a child once before, and she failed. That failure has haunted her even to this day and she won’t let herself fail again. With the HAC closing in, and complications between herself and the Pack rising, Aria has no choice but to succeed. A child’s life is on the line and Aria will risk everything to save that life. 

Burned by Fire is a wonderful urban fantasy that takes the reader farther into Aria's life and world. This is the third installment of the series, and I highly suggest reading the other books beforehand. There's several references to people and situations that occurred in the previous novels, and it can be a bit confusing for someone who isn't familiar with everything happening. Aria continues to be an awesome heroine for the series and we get to see her kick some serious butt in this book. I love her attitude - she can go from sympathetic to mad in a second and she's quite opinionated, even if she doesn't always voice her thoughts. She's tough but has a big heart - which is another reason I like her character. Aria's the narrator of the series, so we really get to know her on a deeply personal level. I'm a huge fan of the first person writing style, which the author uses, and I honestly think it's usually the perfect way to go for most novels. We get access to the narrator's private thoughts, feelings, dreams, hopes, fears, and everything in between. It's just something that can't be replicated in the other point of view writing styles. The fact that Aria is the narrator for the series is a huge plus for me - sort of like icing on the cake. 



The other aspects of the book were fantastic as well. We get to know the secondary characters a bit more, and see how their relationships with Aria operate. Of course, there's some romance happening - but I thought it was a great addition to the story line and didn't overshadow the main plot at all. The plot was exciting and fresh - there seemed to always be something happening. The pace was quick but not rushed and also wasn't confusing, which can sometimes happen with series. I obviously loved the writing style, and the other elements were well done - especially the vivid descriptions and imagery. I was able to easily slip back inside Aria's world like I had never left, and I refused to come back to reality until I had finished the entire book (in one sitting). I can't wait for the next installment to be released so I can see where the author will take Aria next. Definitely recommended for fans of urban fantasy, paranormal, romance, action, and supernatural fiction!

I trudged up the stairs to my apartment and wiped wet tendrils from my face. Water sloshed in my boots, a reminder of today’s most recent adventure. I’d had the pleasure of bodyguard duty for a water nymph, which was no easy task given that, in her eyes, I was a glorified babysitter, and we happened to be staying in a cabin that was mere feet from the Spokane River. It was the middle of January, and I’d taken the polar bear plunge more than once today. I was chilled to the bone, wet, hungry, and I sorely needed a good cup of coffee, or three.

Only one more flight of stairs to go. I could already taste the coffee on my tongue and feel the hot spray of a warm shower against my skin.

As my apartment door came into view, the hairs on the back of my neck rose and my body went on high alert. Something was off, and dammit, wasn’t that just my luck. I stood in the hall, a chilling breeze whipping my wet hair around my face from the open balcony doors and stinging my cheeks. Shit, it was cold.

I narrowed my gaze. Why were the balcony doors open in the middle of winter? It was like a blizzard out there. I stepped closer toward the balcony, intending to shut the doors, when a splash of red to my left caught my attention instead. There was blood on the doorknob leading into my apartment. This couldn’t be good.

I took a deep breath and debated just turning around. I was too tired to deal with anything else today. Was it too much to ask for some dry clothes and a hot cup of coffee? For chrissakes, I’d take a cold cup of coffee at this point. Then again, it was my apartment, and with my luck, there would be a dead body inside and I’d be framed for the murder. Why couldn’t stuff like this happen at a decent time of day when I was fully rested?

I pressed my ear against the door. Well, really it was more like I slumped against the door, but the result was the same. I listened for any signs of movement. The wooden door was cool against my cheek. Silence greeted me. Hmm, maybe there really is a dead body, I mused with a sick sense of morbid curiosity.
