Publication Date: November 16th 2021

He’s done fighting his attraction to the sexy vampire…

To say former firefighter Colin Zhang is struggling to accept his new life would be a vast understatement. He’s bound to a vampire he didn’t choose, living in a house filled with creatures better left to the imagination—there’s a lot to resent. As much as he tries, he doesn’t resent Evan—far from it. But he needs to know that what he feels is real and that requires breaking their bond. No matter the cost.

Vampire private investigator Evan Fournier is more than willing to explore his connection with Colin, but the crisis at hand keeps getting in the way. Their bond makes it dangerous for them to be apart, so he’s forced to put the other man at risk while he investigates the latest in a series of murders. If he doesn’t find the killer soon, the paranormal community will seek retribution on all humans, not just the guilty ones.

As the tensions escalate, Evan and Colin find solace in each other and their growing attraction. But if their bond is broken, attraction—even love—might not be enough to keep them safe.

This book puts me in such a huge dilemma, because how the hell am I supposed to review this without spoiling anything??? I feel like whatever I say, my words might somehow give away what happens.

So, I decided to keep this really broad. At first I thought House of Fire would be hit by what I call “sequel-disappointment” but it couldn’t be farther away from it. House of Fire is as good as All Fired Up, if not even better. I really loved House on Fire and was super-glued to the pages. I started at midnight and finished it that same night. I could not put it away.

One thing I can say about House of Fire for sure though: whatever you think might happen, it won’t lol this book took a completely different turn than I anticipated and the twists and turns kept me in suspense. Multiple times I read pages again with the thought “when I read this page again, I better have not read what I think I just read”. Those twists, folks, be prepared. Also, soooo many feelings and we get to see all my favourite characters again.

Now, it just needs to be 2022 because I need book three ASAP. 2022 is way too far away.

Like All Fired Up and the Not Dead Yet series, I will reread House of Fire multiple times and I will also get the audiobook, once it is available 🙂
