This second installment in the Corine Solomon series kept me engaged throughout. I practically inhaled the book, and was finished far too soon.
I really enjoy the romantic aspects of the book, and the uncertainty over which man Corine will choose adds a nice spice to the story line. I was delighted that Corine's character develops in this book. Corine learns more about her mother's death and grows from her experiences.
The action is gripping with plenty of twists to the plot. I recommend reading the first book in this series before reading this one even though Ann Aguirre does a good job of filling in on past action. You'll get a better understanding of Corine's relationship with her ex, Chance.

Hell Fire is book two in the Corine Solomon series. In this book Corine Solomon narrates the story. She heads home to southern Georgia to determine the circumstances of her Mother's death. Corine has always suspected that there were supernatural reasons associated with her Mother's death and they all stemmed from the town itself. She takes Chance, her former boyfriend back to Georgia with her to find out what really happened.
Hell Fire is an excellently written book. However, I didn't enjoy it as much as I did Blue Diablo, the first in the series. This mostly stemmed from the direction or lack there of that Hell Fire went in terms of romance. It seems Hell Fire has more questions instead of answers when it comes to Corine and her men, Chance and Jesse. Corine is at a crossroads in her life and she can't seem to make up her mind on who will fit in her life better. I think it is obvious, but she will walk that path with or without anyone's help.
Okay, so back onto the plot, which was excellent by-the-way. I loved the dark mysterious setting. There is plenty of tension and Aguirre knows how to set the mood. There is something dark and mysterious about the town and this book is about getting to the bottom of that. I love how Corine references that her team almost equals that of Scooby Do and she even goes as far as making a reference to "those meddling kids".
I think this is a series to watch. The writing is excellent. I just would like to know where the romance is going. You know me. I am totally romance driven!

4.5 stars...LOVE, LOVE this series and this book is even better then the 1st. The romance is getting on my nerves (or lack there of) but again... that's pretty true of all UF series. I'd rather have the tension build then mindless sex which you find in a lot of paranormal/UF. Great premise, great writing. I cannot wait for the next book.
