Ah - this book really does simmer. While there is quite a bit of action regarding the vamps and the Protectors, the love triangle is really what got me.

“Simmer” picks up right where “Ignite” leaves off. Kira and Luke travels to Sonneyville where she will train and learn the ways of the Conduits. It isn’t long before she realizes there’s more in Sonneyville than training. She meets someone; it’s an unexpected surprise that leaves her hurt in more ways than one. Tristian is still trying to find Diana and when trouble comes to Kira in Sonneyville it’s up to her to help protect the conduits and their family members that are in danger because of her...more
Kira continues her relationship with Tristan, while realizing that her friendship of Luke is slightly fractured when his feelings for her are revealed. Feeling like she is having losing her best friend, Kira focuses on her training and begins to realize her gift as a conduit is unparalled and that Luke seems to be her anchor. Kira finds herself embroiled in a vampire attack and following a lead in finding her mother, who others believe is dead.

I recently read the first book in this series, Ignite, and while I had been disappointed with the unedited quality of it, I was interested in following the story through with Simmer.
I was pleasantly surprised by the change in quality between the two books. While the grammar and spelling weren't flawless in Simmer, the mistakes didn't distract me from the story.
I like the direction this series is going. While some parts were predictable and very typical of the genre, (view spoiler)...more

This is no Twilight copycat. I enjoyed this book more than Ignite (book 1). The only reasons for this is that it started fast and stayed exciting pretty much throughout the whole book. Also the writing and editing where better. In this story Kira has one thing and one thing only on her mind. Where is her mother and could she really still be alive? Kira is summoned by the council to Sonnyville, the conduit community that her mother is from. Luke her best friend is also from there and accompanies...more
SIMMER, by Kaitlyn Davis is the second installment of the Midnight Fire series that follows Kira on her journey to learn more about herself, her family and the things that go bump in the night. This installment is even more action packed and amps up the romance/steaminess as well!
First off, I would like to start by saying that from first novel to second novel was a huge difference. The quality and the writing improved greatly, so I must say I was impressed with Davis.

I enjoyed this spin on the teenage vampire story. There were times when I had to remind myself not to compare it to other vampire stories, but it had enough of a unique twist that I could.
Kira Dawson finds herself starting a new school South Carolina her senior year of high school. She's not sure what to expect, after having spent seventeen years in New York City, but she finally living with her family, so she's giving it a try.

In the second installment of the Midnight Fire series Kira is off to Sonnyville, the Protector colony in Florida. The council wants to see what she is made of and if, like the history books say, they have anything to fear from her existence.

Excellent read! Just when Kira begins to find inner acceptance and confidence with her newly discovered abilities and past, her world shifts again. Going to Sonneyville to meet the Council of conduits and find her place among her kind over the summer is supposed to bring answers, but instead it seems to raise more questions. When her presence threatens the safety of the Sonneyville conduits, she decides to take control of the situation and seek out those threatening her as well as seek out the t...more
I had to finish reading Kaitlyn Davis book Simmer. This is the second book in her trilogy of Kira. The first one, Ignite, I finished last night. Kaitlyn Davis introduced us to Kira and her back story there. We met Luke and Tristen too. But best was that we were let on to the secret world of conduits and the vampires they rally against. Kaitlyn set up a different set of rules that vampires live by. They can live in sunshine and do not eat the blood of animals. But they also have to be wary of the...more
Simmer starts with Kira packing for “conduit boot camp” as she calls it, a few months after Ignite ends. Luke and Kira are going to Sonnyville for a couple months. Of course, Tristan can’t go. I mean, it is a whole town of vampire killers. So instead Tristan is going to hunt down Diana. Right away I am saddened by Kira and Tristan’s goodbye. I just don’t want them to be apart. When you get a couple you really like, you want them to be together. And besides, at this point, I’m not entirely sure I...more
I just threw my "Twilight" books in the trash. I no longer need them now that i have this AWSOME series!!!! I'm seriousily considering naming my first child TRISTIAN!!! I love this vampire. So dark and sad on the outside. But then on the inside a sweet, sensative, protective, and lovable man. Why don't they exsit in real life? Any who this book was even better than the first. While i love the relationship Kira and Luke have. I defenalty want them to stay b.f.f's. Now that she can read his mind i...more
And we’re getting even deeper. After everyone barely escapes in the last book with their lives, it’s time to meet half of Kira’s “people”. All the while trying to find her mom, dealing with crazy vampers, deal with new powers, and not to mention those to HAWT pieces of male lol! I absolutely loved this next installment! It’s fast paced, it’s a little heart wrenching, it’s full of action and suspense and it’s just gets better!

Simmer is the second book in the thrilling Midnight Fire Series.
I'm so excited that Kaitlyn asked me to do follow up review with Simmer. I really enjoyed reading Ignite and was really looking forward to following Kira into the next part of her story.

You want a steamy kiss or two? Check.
You want vampires? Check.

Just finished reading this book, I read the first one a couple months ago and because I read so much I had sort of forgotten what it was about until I started reading Simmer. Now I can't realize why i would have forgotten it because i loved it so much! I read lots of the .99 cent books on my kindle because they are my guilty pleasure, but usually they are full of grammatical errors and lack real plot depth, but not this series! Yes, it has vampires like lots of the other series coming out lately...more
Once again Kaitlyn Davis gives us a top notch story, SIMMER is book two in the Midnight Fire series. The story takes Kira to Sonnyville where she goes to look for answers to what happened to her mother. While she is looking for answers and has her sights on destroying Diana, Luke and Tristan are there to help her. And of course, the love triangle continues.

I am currently reading the fourth and last book in this series. This is definitely a favorite book series and I love it. Great characters, plots, and twists. I love how she makes everyone come to life and especially the writing style. It's not through the eyes of Kira , yet she makes it feel like it is.
SPOILERS:
My only complaint in this book is the fact that Luke started to like Kira. I should've seen this coming, but I had hoped that he would have remained her best friend. Tristen is the winner...more

I'm really liking this series!! Kira, Luke, and Tristan's characters are very well written and you can't help but fall in love with their stories :) the question is though...who do you prefer for Kira?? Book one for me was Tristan hands down and I really didn't think that I could be swayed. For book 2...I'm leaning more towards Tristan but Luke is winning me over more now...Ahhh! I can't decide who I like better. That ending though! Loved it a lot :D I can't wait until the next one! Summer...I t...more
This is a mini review, as I did review of all 4 at once, so just giving my thoughts on them, in depth review is on book one.
I loved this book even more than the first one Ignite, I loved watching Kira mature and grow into her powers.
The relationships between her, Luke and Tristin are still going, won’t say much there.
Over all, a great continuation of the series. Love the cover on this one, more unique to the story, and looks cool. Much better than all the others.
5 out of 5 stars.

This is book two in the ‘midnight fire’ series, and kicks off a few months after the end of book one – Ignite. **Warning: unavoidable spoilers for book 1 – Ignite**
Kira has recovered from her coma, and has had time to graduate from school. Now she’s going off to a conduit town to get in some training over the summer, to learn how to control her power, and to learn how best to use it when fighting vampires. Her best friend Luke who is als...more

I enjoyed the growth that Kira experiences in this book. She may still have uncertainties and doubts about who she really is, but she also has found a level of courage and trust in who she is. The ending leaves lots to wonder about the next book and I am excited to see how the change that has occurred in Kira effects her relationships, with both Luke and Tristan. How does Luke's feelings develop from here, do they change, do they grow, does their connection deepen? All things I am excited to dis...more
The book Simmer was a really good story. I like how her powers grew stronger. She learned to controlled them when she had killed Diana. It was awesome to see Diana beg for her life when Kira was killing her. She was real nasty bitchy vampire. I say she deserved to die. I did enjoy every moment of it. I know your Midnight Fire Series are way different from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga series. The only thing that reminded me of Twilight was when Kira falls for a vampire name Tristan. Her best f...more
Simmer is a book that packs a powerful punch! Digging deeper than Ignite, it does what few sequels I've read lately manage: pushing the characters deeper and harder into more difficult situations. Rather than a withdrawn backlash like New Moon felt compared to Twilight, Simmer is the perfect companion to Ignite. I've officially become a "Lukira" shipper! Sonneyville does not disappoint, Kira's love live becomes more tangled and my particular favorite, things may not be what they seemed. Anxiousl...more
Liked this one very much...a coma, a graduation, a vampire boyfriend (of course) and a trip to Fireland. Okay, Sonneyville--- anyhow, I enjoy adventure, road trips, making terrible hasty decisions and running around all over the country. Great sequel! The best part was getting to know the characters finally and the drama from the confessions...woah. Not surprising but also surprising. The end was again pretty cool, I love when vamps get toasted. Dying for number 3!
Continuing my stalking of Kira and her life, I bought Simmer immediately after finishing Ignite. As I stated in my review of Ignite, I was somewhat distracted by the corrections/editing I wanted to do. I have considered this more and feel that it's mostly a reflection on me and my personality and NOT a reflection on Ms. Davis' writing.

The story continues as we follow kira on her journey of self discovery and task of finding her mother. along the way we meet some of her family and finally get revenge on an evil vamp all the while still in love w tristan. While I enjoyed the book I thought it was a bit short. The overall story flowed smoothly and picked up right where we left off in book one. hopefully in book 3 we get to see more of lukes family and tristans backstory. Cant wait for book 3!
I received this book free from the author. Simmer was a great second book, and it ended with a mystery to keep you waiting for the third book. I fell more in love with Luke, and enjoyed Tristan's enthusiasm. That boy loves a good fight with the other vamps. As always, I am greatful for a strong female lead. I look forward to finding out what the blue eyes could possibly mean?!?! And I hope she chooses Luke in the end. This a great series for young adults and older ones like me.
Major improvements between the first and second books of this series. I only imagine it will get better..
Kira goes to learn more about herself and her abilities. Of course there's drama. And Kira is still holding out hope that her mom is still alive.
This is turning out to be a pretty good YA series!
