A review by protoman21
Heat Wave by Richard Castle

3.0

I thought this felt like it was thrown together very fast and was pretty formulaic. The similarity to the Castle series made it easy to understand the characters, but at the same time a little off putting since it wasn't the real characters, just close approximations. Also, having this book from Nikki Heat's perspective rather than Rook's gave it an odd feel too. Sadly I think Nikki Heat is a weaker character than Kate. Also I didn't find Rook as charming in this novel, though that might just be the Nathan Fillion factor not being in effect. Overall I was disappointed, but it was an interesting experience reading this book after seeing the fictional process of it being written on TV.
