Rated Fire Season 8/10

Now this is more to my liking. The characters I was interested in are back and look like there will be much more in the next book or 2 - Gabriela and Darius. I'm glad there was the wrapping up of Quetzalcōātl and the Santa Ana winds. I noted at the end of the last book that I hoped that wasn't the end of it, but just backburnered, if you will.<br/><br/>The introduction of Letitia and expansion of the "Clean Up Crew" adds another interesting character I want to see more of. A pleasant surprise to continue seeing additions of women who seem multi-dimensional and not just to serve the protagonist ends. Well. Maybe not so much with the ex, Vivian. Their coexistence-with-animosity (or is there?) is getting a bit tired. Hopefully, Vivian literally gets a life apart from Carter.<br/><br/>Finally, it added a bit of additional relevance of what I assume was the inspiration for this book, the LAST time L.A. had historic fires, to once again be going through that at this moment. The author's experience really gave the story that feel of reality, I think.<br/><br/>I look forward to more story involving Darius and hopefully more on Carter's grandfather, his lamia girlfriend, and that fort full of magical goodies.
