As a huge fan of Megan Hart's,I was really looking forward to this short story from her. After it taking me only about 45 minutes to read it from beginning to end, I have to say it fell a little flat for me. Kendall Frasier has been forced by the FBI to take a mandatory two weeks off after she witnesses the accidental shooting of her partner. Kendall joins a dozen or more FBI agents on a trip to an exotic island where they are to engage in physical examinations, therapy sessions, and pure relaxation. She is furious to find out that Agent Zane Vincent, the man responsible for killing her partner, has also been made to go on this trip. Kendall cannot deny the attraction that she feels towards Zane and as luck would have it, the two of them end of sharing a cottage together. I love the way that Megan Hart writes her characters. Her characters are so full of realistic emotions and feelings that you feel like you are reading a story about someone you know personally. No detail is left out when she sets the stage for her characters and it's very easy to become attached to them. Friendly Fire was no exception. I immediately felt pain for Kendall as she struggled with her true feelings regarding her partners' death as well as with Zane and the demons he had to deal with at being the cause of such a tragedy. The buildup of sexual tension between Zane and Kendall is sizzling, when it came down to them finally being together, it was WAY too quick. I wanted more! It seemed after the two of them finally gave in to their mutual attraction, that everything was rushed along and that part definitely fell flat for me. Having said that, I realize that this is a short story, not a full length novel and length limitations may apply, but still, I missed the detailed love scenes. Overall, this was a decent read and I still am a faithful fan of Megan Hart's and look forward to reading many more of her stories! Three and a half stars. This book was supplied to me via NetGalley

*** THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS *** For a long time I have been wanting to read a novel by Octavia E. Butler. Her last book, Fledgling, somehow seemed to be the right first choice for me, as I've always had a thing for vampire-stories. I ordered the book from a local book store and waited for days in eager anticipation for it's arrival. The book arrived and I read it. The first few pages seemed promising, for its premise was different than most other vampire books that I have read. The book quickly became a disappointment to me (to put it mildly), as it touched on a subject that I find both disgusting and distracting. The main character, Shori, is a 53-year old female vampire that suffers from amnesia. Shori is however not like other vampires, she is black (which for me is pointless as I have always been racially unbiased - she could have been purple for all that I cared), she is not "undead" or some fantastical strange mutation. She belongs to a different species that developed side by side with the humans. She does not look like other vampires of her species, for she physically looks like a 9-11 year old human child, although she certainly doesn't act like one. I can accept that, for who's to say that the physical development of a vampire child follows that of a human? Shori has several symbionts that she shares her life with and whom she feeds from, for her species is not a merciless bloodthirsty killer. What I could not accept, enjoy or even tolerate, was the fact that Shori is a sexually active child. She is not sexually active with children of her own species (that, to a certain extend I could have "understood"), but she has sex with adult men and women of the human species, with individuals who seemingly have no qualms and troubles of having sex with what (appears to be) a human child. It's bizarre at best, utterly disgusting and perverted at worst. I don't get the point of this pseudo-paedophilia, I really don't see where Butler wants to go with this. Because I enjoyed other aspects of this book I continued reading; I had an expectation that Butler had a larger plan with this pseudo-paedophilia, that there was some point that she was trying to make, but frankly I never saw it. IF there even was a point with it, for Butler herself has been known to have said that this book was meant as a lark, a joke. But sex with children, even if consensual, is no joke: it's just plain wrong. Frankly, I am amazed how any publisher would chose to publish it in the form that it is today. I hope that her other works are better than this.
