Into The Fire by Irene Hannon was my book club’s first selection of 2024. Although Hannon is a favorite of our members, we have never read one of her books together. Into The Fire was certainly a good choice! We liked this twisting romantic suspense.
As a former smokejumper, arson investigator Bri Tucker knows her way around fires. But after a mysterious blaze takes the life of a former colleague, Bri inherits a curious puzzle from him that raises questions about several fiery deaths. Someone, however, doesn’t want her picking up where he left off in search of answers.
When she teams up with ATF Special Agent Marc Davis to solve the puzzle, the danger escalates. But will they manage to track down the person behind the mysterious deaths before their budding romance–and maybe even their lives–go up in flames?
The bestselling and award-winning queen of romantic suspense is back with a brand-new series that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping as you burn through the pages to discover the truth.

My Impressions:
Into The Fire is the first book in a new series for multi-published author Irene Hannon. Hannon has long been a go-to author for romantic suspense, and this book was a great choice for some adrenaline-laced reading! The book starts out with a bang as readers are introduced to an unknown bad guy with arson and murder on his mind. Following this thrilling prologue, main characters Bri, an arson investigator, and Marc, an ATF agent, are introduced. They are on the case of a fire that took the life of a well-respected retired arson inspector. Bri has doubts that the fire that caused his death was accidental — the mystery and suspense take off from there. I read a lot of suspense novels, and I found Hannon’s choice of subject matter and character occupations refreshing. The investigation is complicated by mishaps designed to distract Bri, but the two characters are very determined and professional. This is a romance too, so there are plenty of sparks (sorry, not sorry) between the main characters, even as they navigate baggage from their pasts. The danger ramps up quickly and the pace of the book accelerates, making this book a page turner! Hannon will keep you guessing as you question everyone’s actions and motives.
If you are looking for a romantic suspense that will keep you up past your bedtime 😉 , then Into The Fire should make your list.
