Fireman's Carry
by Eli Easton
I’m going to be honest here and say that I found the beginning of this incredibly boring. There were minimal to no interactions between the characters, and it more so read as some sort of watered down play-by-play of a spreading fire and its subsequent evacuation protocol.
And that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, I guess, as I’m sure this can be interesting to some. But.. it’s just not something I often find particularly entertaining. It would either need to be a super thrilling story, or have some character and relationship depth. In this case, it had neither.
Now, after about the half-way point, I did think this story became more interesting. The characters were likable, and had some chemistry. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but it was alright. I also thought Shane was quite a funny guy, so he was probably my favourite.
This next thing is just a me thing, but I always have some difficulties buying into the whole ‘romance during life threatening situations’ thing. I just cannot, for the life of me, imagine anyone even thinking about lusting after a stranger while literally having to fear for your life. I mean, are you insane?? I feel like maybe your priorities aren’t quite in order.
I dunno, but that’s just so weird and unrealistic to me, and therefore, I can’t really get into it.
I can imagine that a sequel to this novella definitely has the potential to be intriguing, since there would then be more chance for development and depth.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure I’ve heard a lot of negative opinions regarding the sequel to this, so I doubt it’d be any good and I don’t think I can be bothered to try.
