Out of the Flames by Stacy Lynn Miller

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Out of the flames is a well written, interestingly plotted gripping crime story with a beautiful Lesbian romance sub-plot, but (spoiler) beware of some heartbreak.

The main character, Manhattan Sloane, has had more childhood trauma than most ever think possible, but fate doesn’t give her a chance to continue repressing her pain, when she meets Avery, the beautiful crime scene technician, when investigating a new drug, that someone has started pushing in San Francisco.

As her relationship to Avery blossoms and she gets close to her daughter, too. Disaster strikes in various forms, challenging Sloane to her limits. What follows is an emotional struggle, that gets pretty close to breaking Sloane.

The character development in most of the “cast” is very insightful and in the end satisfying, but for Sloane and those she loves a very hard road to travel.

I read this in one day, as I simply could not put it down, once I had started. Now onto volume 2.
