Emerald Fire by Monica McCabe
4.5
This book kept me engaged, and even though it seemed a bit drawn out, it somehow managed to maintain its suspenseful nature. Initially, I expected it to be a fantasy book because that was the vibe I was getting from it but I was surprised when it didn’t turn out that way.
I liked Chloe and Finn together, yet I found a stronger connection with Chloe when she was on her own. Even though Finn’s infatuation provided both endearing and amusing moments, I felt that this is the sort of book that requires a second book. Mostly because romance is one of its strongest plots, but it left me wanting more individual and joint character development.
Nevertheless, the book’s subplots were compelling. Witnessing the downfall of Lisa was satisfying, and I wished for Owen to face a similar fate. It felt like he got off too easily, but life doesn’t always serve the justice we desire.
