A review by jksteach
Dangerous Flames by Stephanie Burgis

funny lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

I loved the world Burgis created in her Good Neighbors story collection and was really looking forward to seeing more. I definitely feel we need more cozy rom-coms with necromancers! 

 This story features estranged lovers Eliza de Mornay and Countess Carmilla Cardenza as they prepare for Leander and Mia's wedding… and renew their old acquaintance. 

I absolutely loved this from beginning to end. It’s told from Carmilla's POV and her voice was just perfect. The first sentence sets the tone, 

“Carmilla, the Countess Cardenza, was not a person who worried. She was a person who inspired worry whenever she swept magnificently into a room, and she had spent years perfecting that effect.”

My only complaint is that it’s just too short. But I hope we get further adventures with these characters. They’re so much fun! 

I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review.
