Ashton Frasier accepts his detective career choice means a life of bachelorhood––until Emily Rose blows into his world. The spitting image of his latest victim holds a mysterious allure he can’t deny. Surrounded by danger with the country’s democracy at stake, Emily and Ash must expose a dangerous faction threatening to take the White House before the Deep State discovers their sting...and tame a fiery passion burning between them, evoked and fanned by cunning spirit with good intentions. Can a ghost spark love in the midst of chaos?

WHEN LOVE SPARKS DANGER––EVEN ASH BURNS!

My Review:


Unease floods Emily’s veins and she worries about her twin sister’s safety. When her brother, Wyatt, delivers the horrible news of her sister’s murder, her life spins out of control. She flies to DC and teams up with Detective Ash to bring her sister’s murderer to justice. The more they uncover, the more she realizes she and Ash are in mortal danger. The Deep State has infiltrated the American government and they will stop at nothing to cover their tracks. Can Emily trust her gut and her sister’s spirit guiding her, even if it means right into Ash’s embrace? Or will Emily be the next victim in the Deep State’s long list of murders?

Reign of Fire is a gripping political thriller with a scorching romance plus a bit of paranormal thrown in. From the first page, I was hooked. The premise of the Deep State is ripped from today’s headlines and if you look close enough, it rings true to what is happening with a certain government. The plot moves at a fast pace with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. The characters are so realistically drawn, I found myself clinging to their every word. I whispered helpful hints to Emily so she’d stay out of danger. Yes, I was that immersed in the story. A satisfying ending but still kept it open for the next book in the series. Casi McLean is a superb suspense author who blends suspense, romance and paranormal so seamlessly, the reader doesn’t even notice it. A political thriller not to be missed!

Favorite Character/Quote:


Emily. Not only is she a strong heroine, but her grief over her sister also adds a fragility to her that connected me with her right from the start. She’s on the hunt to find her sister’s killer but also can’t deny her attraction to Ash. She’s brave and takes risks to save those she cares for. I hope she’s in more books.

My Rating: 5+ stars
