Another exciting debacle the Stranger Times have gotten themselves into. McDonnell yet again weaves the absolute insanity of tabloid journalism with the supernatural in a simultaneously dark and humorous way, as they prove rock and roll really might live forever.

Action-packed, adventurous, mysterious and full of humour and sarcasm. Had a lot of fun!

After taking a darker turn in Love Will Tear Us Apart, Relight My Fire returns to the all-out comedy horror clown show that is The Stranger Times series. 

This time around we get a finale with some Naked Gun vibes.

I'm starting to believe CK McDonald can do no wrong. This new installment of the stranger times is as funny or even more than the previous ones, and the plot just keeps getting crazier. The villainess is awesome, I laughed out loud at the drag club, the hotel, the stranger news bites, Brian, and more that I've forgotten. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and Brendan McDonald is amazing as expected; Banecroft's voice is spot-on!
