Thankfully the audiobook narrator was freaking fantastic and breathed new life into the story for me.

I was just like, 'nooooo, that can't be it.' After that disappointment, I switched to the audiobook in the hopes of being able to get through it more quickly. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. Had I somehow imagined it all? Did I make it all up in own head?Įventually it was revealed why it wasn't making any sense to me and I was so disappointed. I started to think maybe I was misremembering the end of the second book. It didn't seem to be touched upon at all. I wanted to know what happened from there. All I could think about was that amazing cliffhanger from book two. I just couldn't get into it and also, I was confused. For a book in this genre, that is pretty unusual for me. I picked Heat Wave up on July 2nd and it then took me over 20-days to finish it. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. There was a cliffhanger ending to the second book that left me with hives and my jaw on the floor. Additionally, I was having a lot of fun just being back with the characters I had grown to love. While it started out a little slow, by about 40% we started getting some startling new revelations that really helped to build the intensity. The second book in the series, Flash Fire, which I read in 2021, wasn't quite all the stars for me like the first book, but I still really, really enjoyed it. It was such a fun story and concept, with a great friendship group at the middle. It was my first time reading from this author and I loved how rapid-fire and intelligent the writing was.

When I read the first book in this series, The Extraordinaries, in 2020, I was blown away. I feel let down after anticipating this release for so long. This hurts me, so I'm not going to beat around the bush.
