Gripping, scorching hot, haunting, mysterious, and hard to put down, The Burning Soul is another thrilling addition to the Rylan Flynn series by Dawn Merriman. Rylan Flynn is a ghost hunter who helps ghost transition to the other side and solves the mysteries of their deaths. I have enjoyed this series since the very beginning (The Spirit Girls) and enjoy how Rylan uses her skills to help not only the living but the dead. She has a unique skill which many are skeptical of, yet she preservers and helps the restless spirts move on. Along the way she encounters danger, obstacles, spirits, killers, and law enforcement.
In The Burning Soul, Rylan observes the ghost of a young woman watching a house fire and soon the police find the body of young woman in the ashes. Rylan does her best to get to the truth of the young woman’s death, even if it means looking at someone she knows. Not to mention that an evil spirit that she had trapped in her home has escaped! UGH! Rylan must turn to Detective Ford Pierce for help. Fans of the series, know him and his relationship with Rylan Flynn well.
I enjoyed the mystery, drama, tension, thrills, secrets, twists, and suspense in this book. Dawn Merriman’s wonderful writing, vivid descriptions, and fully fleshed out characters are also a big plus for me in this series. This book has just the right amount of tension, danger, romance, suspense, and thrills. This series has always been entertaining, light, mysterious, and a joy to read.
Just over 200 pages, I easily read The Burning Soul in one day. I was glued to the pages, wanting more, and doing my best to catch the killer along with Rylan. I have always enjoyed the scenes between Rylan and Ford and reading about their ups and downs. Their romance has also been a nice touch in this book and in the series.
There is one more book to come in this riveting series. The end of this book has me salivating and excited. There has been one mystery that has ebbed and flowed in and out of the previous books – it’s a big one and I have a feeling, that mystery will finally be solved. I can’t wait!! Fingers crossed the Dawn Merriman writes fast!!!!!
