5-STAR REVIEW: SERIAL BURN by Lynette Eason

The Description

Lake City Heroes: Book 3
Publication Date: January 21, 2025

She’s out for justice. But the arsonist she’s tracking is out for retribution.

Now the fire marshal of Lake City, Jesslyn McCormick is determined to find the person who started the fire that robbed her of her family when she was just seven years old. As the twentieth anniversary of the tragedy approaches, a string of fires—including at Jesslyn’s church—brings up all those old feelings and offers new evidence.

Because church fires are considered a hate crime, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to work with local law enforcement. Nathan has his own past—one he’d prefer not to revisit. And focusing on helping Jesslyn track down the arsonist is a great distraction.

As both the case and the chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan heat up, memories will come flooding in from the past to bump up against hopes for the future. And when Jesslyn comes face-to-face with her worst nightmare, she’ll have to confront her fears and rely on Nathan and her community of friends in order to survive.

The Review

An arson fire at her church pairs two determined investigators, both of whom have troubled histories when it comes to fire.

Author Lynette Eason delivers a pulse-pounding story of suspense with Serial Burn. As the third installment of the Lake City Heroes series can easily be read as a standalone, but you’ll enjoy this one so much that you will want more.

Deputy State Fire Marshal Jesslyn McCormick is still haunted by the fire that claimed her family two decades ago. Her determination to find the culprit fuels her work. Joining her on the church fire investigation is FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle. They have an electric chemistry, but they are reluctant to take action.

As a Christian suspense, the story successfully packages high-octane adventure with solid romance. Jesslyn faces the toughest challenge of her career, hitting her on a personal level. The support characters add an extra layer of appeal with their back-and-forth banter.

REVIEW AUTHOR

Amy Wilson
Amy Wilson
My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
