Wildfire is a lovely book that is somewhat hard to classify genre-wise. To me, the classification doesn’t matter, but when recommending it to others I am often asked “What type of story is it?” Well, it has the feel of an urban fantasy with dragon shifters and a mystery to be solved, but is set in somewhat rural west Texas. It’s not a romance, but there are romantic elements. (Yay!) So I’ll go with the author’s description that it is “a paranormal mystery with romantic elements. It is not a traditional romance.” Well put!
I enjoyed the two mystery plot threads of the book. There is the current mystery regarding fires in the town of Pleasant Valley where Lynn’s best friend lives. There is also an older mystery regarding the death of Lynn’s grandmother who was also a dragon shifter. I loved the emotional journey traveled in the relationship between Lynn and her mother. I really enjoyed the overall story. The only thing that kept me from loving it was that the “dragon pheromones” thing got a little too repetitive. That complaint aside, Wildfire is a book that I found entertaining and recommend wholeheartedly to fans of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance.
