True Fire by Gary Meehan was an interesting read and although there were times that the story dragged a bit for me, I found myself enjoying the dialogue and turning the pages to see what would happen next for them.

Megan’s life is turned completely upside down when she finds out she is pregnant. On the night she goes to tell the boy who is the father, her entire village is destroyed and the people she loves the most are murdered. The only exception is her twin sister as it appears she was taken from the village before it was burned to the ground.

As Megan attempts to find her sister, she meets two others who will play critical roles in the rest of the novel. When I say I enjoyed the dialogue, it is mostly the conversations and interactions between Megan, Eleanor, and Damon that fall into this. Their banter and the tension between Eleanor and Damon was one of the pieces of the book I enjoyed.

As the story progresses, we find out things happened due to more than just a random attack on their village. Everything that happened is connected to a prophecy and there is a larger implication to the things that happened to Megan since before her village was attacked. I can’t say anything about it because it would completely ruin the story for everyone….sorry, not sorry.

Overall I thought this was a solid story and I am interested to see where Meehan goes with it if this is a series as it could definitely head that route. Check this one out if you are looking for a book with lots of action and some interesting characters.

Thank you to the author for the review copy.
