Heat Wave by Richard Castle
4.0
I'm not sure if it's because of the style of writing, or the nature of the book, but when I first started reading this book, I was really let down by the quality (or seeming lack) of the writing. But as I got into the story more, it either got better or I got used to it. I don't read many thriller/mysteries, and had just finished reading a large fantasy novel, so that could have clouded my view.
In all, I really enjoyed the book. I was totally picturing Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) as the main characters (Jameson Rook and Nikki Heat, respectively), as well as the other characters in the TV show, as their book counterparts the entire time. "Richard Castle" obviously took "real life" and put a very think gloss over the top to come up with the book's characters. It was almost as though I was reading an episode of Castle, with *spoiler alert* the addition of the romantic and physical relationship of the two main characters. I can totally see the relationship happening in the show, but not quite yet. Richard Castle's subconscious longings were obviously coming into play during the writing of this book.
