What Fire Cannot Burn by John Ridley

trike's review

3.0

At first, this sequel wasn't doing it for me. The writing felt lazier, almost stream-of-consciousness, with half-finished thoughts. But it was an easy enough read so I stuck with it for a while longer. I was just about to put it down when Ridley upped the ante in the extreme and really turned up the heat. I literally said out loud, "No you did NOT." But he had. Read it to find out what that was. He also doubles your fun by adding yet another bad-ass hot chick, who just so happens to have a bit of a conflict going with the existing bad-ass hot chick from the first book. As if the mutants and bureaucracy weren't enough, now they have to compete against each other.

I don't care if people think these are slight books, nothing more than souped-up crime fiction: I like 'em.
