Playing with Fire

Playing With Fire by Cynthia Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I received this for an honest review~

In a world where mythological and paranormal beings walk amongst humans is where the books setting lies. With this untapped resource of exotic DNA how can scientist and doctors not be expected to play.

With bettering mankind on the brain that is exactly what Cassandra Armstrong’s father accomplished. He made his test subjects stronger by tying their genetics to these anomalies weather they wanted it or not. Until it all went terribly wrong. Cassie’s father had intentions of making a stronger human race, a race of people that can stand toe to toe with these new Immortals walking among them. You know what they say “Hell is paved with good intentions”.

Cassie held her body as still as she could and wished, so very badly, that her father hadn't brought her back.
Because in those moments. She’d enjoyed death.

Among the study cases was Dante, Cassie was drawn to him from the very first encounter.
Dante is a primal being born of fire and flames a Phoenix. Each death takes its toll, after years of dying and rising up through the ashes each birth is different, Dante risks losing his memories and at times his sanity. Cassandra Armstrong is bound and determined to make right the cruel wrong doings of her family. Seeking out Dante is her only hope to heal her closest friends… Phoenix tears have a potent healing ability; I mean if they can raise the dead surely they can cure anything.

Problem 1) the only thing Dante remembers upon see her is Cassie killing him and let’s just say that doesn’t stop him from being fixated on his need for her.
Problem 2) Is Cassie’s ex-fiancé Jon Abrams, who is all hoped up on crazy ambition to poses her and her abilities then maybe the world he’ll kill everything in his path.
Loco in the cabeza for sure!

Dodging bullets and keeping a very primitive male from burning the world down around her isn’t Cassie’s only struggle, what if everything you knew of yourself was a lie? That deep down you are more than a sweet alluring Vampire killing machine.

Even without a background from the previous books in the series I had no problem whatsoever keeping up. Cynthia Eden has a sure view of an overpowering, dominating, headstrong male who keeps what’s his. Dante is a very intense character; I must say his possessive nature was a turn on to say the least. I thoroughly loved his burning it all to the ground attitude. The fast paced action mixed with the perplexing chemistry between them kept me turning page after page. I will be reading every book in this series.
