Dancing in the Flame was definitely a HOT read! Being a novella a lot happens in a short amount of time. Kiera is an interesting mix of fiery passion and defiance, and childish impulses. Being an indentured servant, and a hooker to boot, would make anyone lash out. Kiera has dreamed of escaping the life that she has for one where she is in control of her fate. When she meets Barrett, a magic shop owner, she is instantly attracted to him, but she knows nothing can come of it. Barrett feels the connection as well and is intrigued by Kiera, so he decides to kidnap her from the weres. Kiera could not believe that Barrett risked his life to break her out of her prison, but she is very grateful and in his debt.  Together they will find out more about Kiera and what they find is shocking.Ann Gimpel is a fantastic storyteller that draws you in to the story then before you know it something astounding or unexpected happens. Dancing in the Flame is a fast read that really makes you hope that there will be more stories set in this world. The idea that humans in essence destroy themselves and civilization as we now it, really is not too far fetched. The Weres and the Sidhe are left to pick up the pieces and do what they can in the world that is left. Great world building, fascinating characters, and a captivating story. This is a must read that will draw you into the flame!I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
