Cold Fire
Pub: Putnam |
| My synopsis: Jim Ironheart is definitely a mysterious guy. He's got a shadowy past and a troubled present, but what's even more astounding is that every now and then, following an undefinable yet compelling drive, he is forced to save people from a violent death. Holly Thorne, instead, is a jaded journalist with a particularly determined edge, and she happens to be on the spot of one of Ironheart's miraculous deeds while he saves a kid from a road accident. That's when the fuse catches fire, and that's the beginning of a deep, tormented relationship which will take them on a risky tour, wading through many a danger up to the core of Ironheart's secrets. | |

And from that moment on, the two were bound together in a game too terrifying to imagine...and too irresistible to stop." | |

My synopsis: as Susan Thorton awakens in a hospital room, after a near-fatal car crash and a 22-days-long coma, she can barely remember who she is. She is confused, and she has no clue as to who those four men in the corridors might be. Yet they resemble the guys who killed her boyfriend several years ago. One by one, Susan tries to unlock the many mysteries surrounding her, and by doing so she is forced to enter a nightmare from which she may never escape. One whose roots are deeply set in a forgotten night of violence. |
