First, in a new series, Burn You Twice is a scary tale of a twisted arsonist and his obsession with fire. No spoilers, but this plot of intertwining relationships, jealousy, and murder is suspenseful and mesmerizing. I devoured it! ( )

This was a good book but I figured out about half way through who the 'bad guy' was and just had to wait for Joan to figure it out. ( )

I was sent this book from the publisher/publicity team. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.

I am a little torn on this one. I was expecting a little more, but I still enjoyed it overall.

This started off so good, but almost immediately slowed down. There were certain chapters that had me on the edge of my seat, and others that were so slow and brought nothing to the story. I found myself losing interest with these slower moving sections. I needed more to happen and more draw dropping moments.

Overall, this one was ok. ( )

"Burn You Twice" is a compelling read from a master of suspense--author Mary Burton. Readers are taken on an involving thrill ride as this well-paced story grabs hold and doesn't let go--even after the last page is turned. After surviving an arson fire which nearly took her life and the life of her college roommate, Ann, Joan Mason had left Missoula, Montana behind. Ten years later, while working as a Philadelphia homicide detective, Joan receives word that Elijah Weston, the man convicted of setting the fire that she and Ann so narrowly escaped, is being released from prison. Temporarily on suspension due to her intense involvement with a current controversial arson-murder case, Joan follows her instincts and heads back to Montana. She is reunited with her friend, Ann, and with Ann's brother, Detective Gideon Bailey, who had been Joan;s sweetheart. When the arsonist strikes again, Joan and Gideon are drawn together by old feelings and new dangers. Are the fires the work of the obvious suspect, or is there a new evil to be feared? Author Mary Burton is a must-read for lovers of thrilling romantic suspense. Her extensive research in police procedure and crime scene investigation and her captivating characterizations make for page-turning, all-in-one-sitting reads. Highly recommended.
