Serial Burn by Lynette Eason
5.0
Lynette Eason delivers a compelling blend of faith, suspense, and raw emotion in her Christian thriller, Serial Burn. The novel captures readers from the first page, immersing them in the tumultuous world of Jesslyn McCormick, a fire marshal whose life has been shaped by a tragedy that still burns in her memory. At just seven years old, Jesslyn lost her entire family to a devastating house fire. Now, on the cusp of the tragedy’s 25th anniversary, a string of suspicious fires—including one at her church—forces her to confront not only her past but also a dangerous present. Eason creates a rich tale of suspense as Jesslyn’s determination to uncover the truth collides with new evidence that changes everything she thought she knew.
FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle, brought in to investigate the arson attacks, is a character as layered as Jesslyn. Haunted by his own demons, Nathan is drawn to Jesslyn’s tenacity and vulnerability. Their partnership is charged with chemistry, but it’s the exploration of their faith, resilience, and the meaning of trust that sets this thriller apart.
Eason’s writing really shines in her ability to balance edge-of-your-seat tension with deeply human moments of reflection and grace. The fires in Serial Burn are not just physical but metaphorical, igniting buried emotions and revealing hard truths. Readers will be captivated by the twists and turns, as well as the poignant moments of healing and hope that underscore the narrative.
For fans of Christian thrillers that blend fast-paced action with heartfelt spiritual themes, Serial Burn is an unmissable read. It’s a story of confronting fears, uncovering truths, and finding redemption amid life’s most fiery trials.
