A review by j_reads_nightmares
A Killing Fire by Faye Snowden

1.5

I tried so hard to like this, but I was so incredibly bored. The writing seemed repetitive and seemed to hand-holdy; instead of letting the reader draw their own conclusions, every sentence explained exactly what was happing. Sometimes more than once. 

I also had problems with how a things were portrayed: 

1. Hazel being bipolar. While rarely discussed, it seemed to “omg, she was biopolar so of course she was crazy?!?”
2. Substance abuse. One scene shows someone working in a hospital was is currently getting help for their addiction. Raven & her partner Billy Ray wanted to throw them straight to jail. It seemed like poor understanding that addiction is a disease.
