review 1: Cold Fury's sequel. First thing I want to say about this book is how cold it is. Well, it's not that cold, but it's colder than many books. There's a lot of action in this book, involving kills and war and death and everything else in between.Flicker & Burn is obviously a mafia book (not as good as the chocolate books like All The Thing I'd Done), with a whole bunch of insane people. Sara Jane Rispoli herself is one. *Ponders for a minute, rethinking what I just said.* Yeah, she's definitely insane. I don't know who she can act in so many ways without being the same person. It's like an actress who's playing ten roles of Sara Jane Rispoli. (Does she have PMS? Because it would totally explain the entire craziness). Flicker & Burn evoke a mostly neutral expression from me, e... moreven though it was insane. It failed in giving good surprises (mostly because the synopsis is huge spoiler). As I said before, the character of Sara Jane Rispoli. For one second, it seems like she wants to end it all by... Then she wants to keep on fighting. She's torn from all sides, from her friends to her family to the monsters. She's...lost. That's the easiest way of saying it. And the word "insane" can be used to describe her correctly. Sara Jane Rispoli is totally not a family person even though she's after her family. Totally ironic. Cold Fury ended off on a interesting note, giving us a lot of questions to ask. Flicker & Burn did its best and succeed for the most part. It failed epically in the romance section, passing in the action with creepy stalkers and undying friendship. Oh, it failed in romance? Poor book, but most importantly: Why did it fail? Max and Sara practically have zero chemistry yet the author sets them together. Sara is pretty much always lying her...off while Max has been straight and truthful. Max accidentally cheated on Sara (read the book if you want to know Max's side). Wait, he didn't cheat. They broke up before that incident. Never mind. And Sara? She's pretty much heartbroken but there's virtually no trust between her and Max. There's no hope for Mara (or Sax? No, definitely Mara). Unless Sara changes her ways and learn to love Max. I don't see that happening in the future.Rating: Three out of Five-ofpaperandwords.blogspot.com
review 2: I read Cold Fury a while ago so I couldn't wait to read this one when I heard it was available for review. The main problem not being solved in the first book we are still trying to solve that problem within this book. Several twists and turns appear in this book. Some were quite surprising. And although I did enjoy this book, there were a few problems I had with this installment.One of the problems was that I became very frustrated with Sara Jane. Her decisions made me want to scream when it came to her friends. Granted I could see why she either didn't want to trust them or couldn't, but the way she handled these people just frustrated me. Especially when it came to her cousin. These decisions really brought the book down for me. It didn't ruin it though.Despite my problems with the book, I really enjoyed the rest. It had the same sense of adventure as the first one and I did enjoy the strangeness added to the plot. It just added a layer of intenseness to her plight. It may not be for everyone, however. :) Still, I am strange so it spoke to me. ;)In the end I give this book 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the adventure despite my frustration with Sara. I need the next one because the main problem is still unsolved (no cliffie ending though). less
