Excellent book! I read Alaskan Fire cover to cover yesterday, and this is decidedly NOT a one day kind of book! I just chose to read instead of sleep; it was that good. What a refreshing find! I have read a lot of self-published books recently, and this does not at all fit the typical profile (which generally is not good). The characters are very well developed, appealing, and interesting; the kind of people I would like to hang out with. Although it is the first in a series, the book is complete in and of itself and does not leave you with a feeling that you are missing some major piece of the puzzle, which seems to be how so many firsts in a series are written these days, but it also leaves plenty of interesting questions that I am looking forward to seeing explored in the forthcoming books. The world the author has created is fresh and interesting and really draws the reader in. The numerous peripheral characters are also intriguing.The author has a great sense of humor in her writing, which I really enjoy. The book is funny, exciting, scary, fast-paced, interesting, and totally unlike anything I have read before. I was lucky enough to get the book when it was on sale, but would have very gladly have paid the regular price, knowing now how good it is. I really hope you give it a try, and that you enjoy it as much as I did. You really get a lot for your money with this book.Don't miss the others in the series as they are released throughout 2012, too! I know I will be anxiously awaiting the release of each of them.
