Kindling Flames: Burning Nights (The Ancient Fire Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

I've enjoyed this series so much ! I love the characters....the story line was interesting and I learned about different species. Darien and Victoria were great from the 1st book! Who can't love Zak! Elliott, the twins...the rest of the kiss. And Victoria's friends, and her mother! This was a really good book BUT again I have to say read from the 1st book so you can enjoy the story better. Definitely recommend this whole series! I'm hoping for another book and more about Darien's past.

This was once again another great book in this series. I don't know if more are coming but it was left where more could come. I really hope we get at least 1 more that lets us know about the twins. While this is an expensive series I have read each book several times and will be reading again. This is a clean sex free series that I really appreciate. I recommend this series to all.

I wavered between a 2 and a 3, and finally went with the lower score because I really don't think I'll be re-reading this book, unlike the others in the series.For one thing, Burning Nights was a bit of a letdown compared to what I was expecting. Julie says at the end that it was hard for her to write, and I think it does show a bit.There's a lot going on with Darien and Victoria and instead of retreating and regrouping, giving the characters a bit of a respite to sort out what's going on and make some headway with everything that's piling on them, even more stuff gets heaped on top of Darien. It's getting to be a bit silly, especially as what happened was almost certainly avoidable if Darien had followed proper protocol. Instead, he didn't, which seemed rather odd for someone as worldly as he is, and of course everything goes to pieces.There's little to no Zak in this book, which was disappointing, because Zak was always good for a smile or chuckle. Without him around to leaven the story, it wasn't quite the same.I felt like Julie had fallen into the "how do I top what's come before" plotting trap, where the writer tries to outdo herself at every turn and ends up with a frenetically paced series where the characters never quite seem to come out ahead no matter what they do, you start questioning if the MCs really get to have any life to their own, and everything starts to feel incredible because seriously, how did they manage to get to their age without all this happening and now it all comes in one big glob?Also, this entire detour just felt...unnecessary, again. It could have been easily avoided, but no. It also didn't feel like it did too much for the overall plotline than revealing yet more crazy waiting for them in the wings, which, again, I'm tired of things blowing up at this point.For another thing, and this was my main sadness -- I've my first two Asian character sightings of 2016 -- and they're the baddies.*sigh*To a certain extent, it really felt like Julie went, what can I possibly come up with that is cooler than what came before?, and then went oh yeah, Japanese youkai stuff is really cool and has shiny things that I could use, and then of course if you're using stuff from Japan, then oh yeah, the baddies are Japanese too.What's troubling is that in a previous book, there were the ifrit who had been being used by the bad guys. So there was already a "welp, cool, the brown people are the bad guys again" feel, but that was made marginally better because they had been forced to it.There isn't that solace in this book.The main dude is a sociopathic, paranoid (wait, is that redundant?) monster and Japanese. The person helping him is a kitsune (of course, because heavens forbid we use anything else interesting from Japan), who he forced into his service, true, but still.*sigh*It's just frustrating. It's really hard to see Asian characters anywhere and it just burns when they almost inevitably turn out to be either stereotypes or the baddies or both.That aside, I'm seriously uncertain if I want to continue this series at this point. I feel like I signed up for a mostly-sweet, playful, light romance with some paranormal elements, but right now with the new reveal of Darien's abilities/specialness, it seems like Darien and Victoria are far, far away from just being able to to be two people making a life together. The plotline is turning out to be massively more epic than I anticipated coming in. There's a lot of stuff going on and it doesn't seem to show any signs of winding down or getting manageable and even if Darien and Victoria can keep going, I for one feel like I need a bit of a break.

I can't wait for the next book!! I read these 5 in 3 days. 😢 I want to know more . As with the previous books , again this one was a lot of twists and turns and subtle clues towards the future a great read.. I know what happened during the honeymoon is important for their future whatever that might bring , but it left me lacking .

Julie WETZEL has delivered a fantastic,totally absorbing reading experience with this TERRIFIC SERIES! Each book broadened the characters and storylines making for a truly great relaxing reading experience. You're going to be absolutely entrenched in the pages!! I'm So RECOMMENDING YOU HAVE THIS TERRIFIC SERIES IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL LIBRARY!! 😱😂😉😒😵😁😲😄😆😍🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟😍😍😍😍😍

An interesting outing in that we are taken to Hawaii and exposed to the machinations of vampire politics and laws that are much more rigid than those espoused at home. The revelations of both new characters and old change perceptions of formerly accepted truths and suggest changes that are exciting to speculate on. I am eagerly awaiting further books.

I am so hooked on this series! I love the way the characters have been developed, the new settings,and just the way this story sweeps the reader up into what is going on. I just can't get enough. At the end of this book, I still have many unanswered questions and I hope there will be at least one more book in this series to answer them!😀

Ok, I enjoyed this part of the story. I liked the direction that this book was going but it just ended. The problem I have is that it's 10 chapters. If I'm paying $6 for any book I expect more. I got to the end and thought, that's it? I feel cheated out of what the story could have been.

This series has been a very good read, plenty of interesting characters and a good story line in each book following Darien and Vicki on there struggles with e erythema that's comes with being a vampire and a human couple?? Or not!!!

Great book, very entertaining
