Burn continues Melanie and Jonah's story and while Talon and Jade are my favorites up to this point, I really loved the development that these two had. They were more open with each other here and I think it really helped their relationship. The cliffhangers continued to keep me guessing and this is a scream-out-loud type of book. These books are definitely not for the faint of heart, but there were some really sweet and funny moments Hardt threw into this one which I enjoyed. Jonah and Melanie were slow burn trope for sure and I think it worked well for them. I loved finding out more clues to this ongoing mystery and I think this installment was heavier on action than some of the previous ones and it certainly kept me hooked. I devoured this one and as always thrive on the spice that Hardt delivers every time. Onto book six and more unfolding of this mystery!
