I absolutely loved this. I couldn't put it down. What's more, I couldn't in any way predict the outcome! A real thriller, twisty, tense, a bit of love, lust and a gorgeous big dog called Max. Kat, a hopefully reformed drug addict and dealer on the run after being released on parole. She turned states evidence and shafted the crime syndicate for a lighter sentence, but having been refused witness protection she knows her past is coming for her, fast. Add to the story, a desolate, abandoned farmhouse, earth tremors and rising magma, microplumes maybe contributing to psychosis a sexy scientist/geologist and a bit of darkness and sulphur and the story is set to detonate. And it does... The characters are fabulous, you have to like Kat, fighting to be something new or old, but not what she was. The baddies are very good! Justin, the geologist is almost the perfect match for her and comes with a trust fund.... I overwhelmingly loved Max, I hope the effects of the plume were temporary, for all and that the magma question is resolved, if not solved. Overwhelmingly, I want to know what happens next to Kat.... Highly recommended, best book I've read in a long time.
