A Lick of Flame is a paranormal delight! If I'm being honest I don't read a lot of paranormal romance novels... They don't usually do it for me, but this book definitely turned my crank. The book bounces between different points of views, but it only adds to the `edge of your seat' anticipation. I would only caution you that some parts of the book are pretty dark, gruesome even, but in my opinion it fits perfectly with the book and is kept light with lots of comedic banter. I'm a bit of a suspense junkie, and was hoping this book would cater to that and it sure did! AD Marrow did not disappoint in that department, or any department for that matter."She was his obsession, the one thing that possessed him body and soul. If Emme were fire, he would let her consume him until there was nothing left of him but ash and a lick of flame."Dane Mason is quite possibly the most delicious Harley straddling, demon slaying hunter on this side of hells gate. Keep in mind, I don't say that lightly either, being that I'm a big Sam and Dean Winchester fan (If you don't know who they are, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. Get with the program ladies, Look it up!) Dane, President of the Kill Devil MC, was condemned to hell the day he successfully sought revenge on his sister's killer. He, and the six other members of the Kill Devil Crew, were given one shot at redemption. "Fight the demons of hell that have opened the gate in Graves Hollow, and have their names stricken from hells roster." What starts out as a duty quickly becomes their way of life, and the MC takes pride in protecting their town from whatever filth crawls up from the depths of hell. But Dane's battling an internal war when it comes to keeping Emme, his VP's little sister, at a safe distance. He's lost someone to this lifestyle already, and he won't recover from paying that price again. Dane is brooding and deadly, but come hell or high water, he protects Emme with everything he has. Dane is smoldering and lethal... If he wanted bless the windows in my bedroom, I certainly wouldn't say no... Just sayin'.Lose eight hours of sleep just to make sure you don't die, she angrily mumbled. "Having to look at you damn half naked and still sexy and you tell me you don't want me there. You know what you can do?" She halfway glanced over her shoulder. "You can go to hell with your tortured Heathcliff bullsh!t. I've had just about enough of it. Demons and motorcycles and too many tattoos with your stupid pirate nicknames. Bet your real name isn't even Dane Mason. It sounds like a romance novel character."Emme Rooney is a hoot! She's a Physician's Assistant at the hospital by day, and stitches up demon hunters by night. She's ball busting in all her `Rooney Anger' glory and is sporting a wicked sense of humor. I loved that she didn't fight the fact that she needed to be protected. You know what I'm talking about, the girl who thinks she can take on the world and protect herself. All the while only causing everyone more trouble and making you want to pull out your hair in frustration. She's not like that, and I loved it."Too bad. I think you are both being stupid. You don't want her to get hurt, and she doesn't want to be without you, so what the hell do you do? Stare at each other like a Jane Austen book club and whine about your lot in life. Man, ya'll are dumb." Caius took another drag of icy air through the straw."I got a kick out of the Kill Devil Crew, and all their crass humor. These boys tell it like it is and it makes for some pretty entertaining banter. They're also all ridiculously hot, tattooed bikers whose day job happens to be saving innocent people from demons... I mean what's not to love?If you're looking to take a walk on the wild side, or get your feet wet with a little paranormal romance action, this book will ease your craving! I for one will be begging at AD's feet for an ARC of Caius's book... mark my words ladies, begging!Xo.AJ
