Light My Fire by Misha Carver is a fairly quick read. This book does end in a cliff-hanger. Ms Carver had my attention from start right up to the cliff-hanger...at which point I wanted the throw my kindle against the wall. In my humble opinion, unless you're writing something the length of War and Peace, you can put it all in one book. I hate cliff-hangers. Ms Carver had plenty of action, suspense and sizzle. The book, what there was of it, is well written. The characters are fantastic. Light My Fire is book 1 of the Big City Heat Series and does end in a cliff-hanger. Very disappointing.
