PRE-read review:
Why does this book, which has not yet been released, have such an outrageously high rating already? I simply cannot understand the need to rate a book before it's even been launched. I adore the Fever series, but I despised "Iced", no matter how hard I tried to like and accept it. And "Iced" had a huge rating as well, but turned out to be a disappointment for many fans. Of course I will pre-order this and read the hardcover. Why? Cos the universe is still awesome. But that doesn't mean that the book is an automatic 5 star. Please stop climaxing over something that doesn't exist yet.
POST-read review:
Well, I finished reading this book (basically it was a slow, controlled devouring of it) and I must state that the series is definitely back on track. For all those who despise ICED (me included), rest assured that you can place "Burned" beside the other 5 books of the Fever Series because it offers much more than its predecessor of which I shall rant no longer. This novel is pretty light on action, but it is the perfect venue for character development. All the characters grow, their relationships develop, they become more palpable and close to the reader. I loved what Ms. Moning did to the Nine that are explored in Burned. I loved what she did with Mac and Barrons. I know many have complained about the faux pas in their relationship, but I find it logical, perfect and, to be honest, not disturbing in the least bit, after having known and understood these two imperfect, ruthless, damaged yet utterly amazing characters. I despised (and still do) Dani with a passion, so what happened to her is entirely perfect in my opinion, but I still could not care less about that character. The only clear difference in my opinion of her is that, while I wanted her to be meat in the first five books, now I might suffer her to live, just off screen where she does not annoy. I was not impressed by Jada...it was the right move, the best move after Iced, but as I said, in my opinion, she is nothing but a prop in this world.
The descriptions are spot-on, the dialogue could use some improvement in some parts where they all scream one over another, but it is a very visual, very movie-like book, and so so easy to get in the minds of all these characters, as well as visualize the whole things as an omni-present viewer. I cannot wait for the next installment, hoping it is just as good as this one.
