How do you catch an arsonist who leaves nothing but smoke and silence in their wake?

 

Lynette Eason ignites the pages with Serial Burn, a wildfire of suspense, faith, and second chances that had me hooked. This isn’t your average hunt-for-the-arsonist thriller—it’s a blazing reminder that sometimes the hardest flames to fight are the ones inside us.

 

Jesslyn McCormick doesn’t just know fire—she’s lived through it. Lake City’s fire marshal carries more than just a badge; she carries the weight of a blaze that shattered her world twenty-five years ago. When a string of fires rattles her community—including one too close to home at her church—the past crackles to life in a way she can’t ignore.

 

Enter FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle, a man with his own scorch marks. Nathan’s steady faith becomes the anchor Jesslyn didn’t realize she needed. His reminder that “God knew what was going to happen. It didn’t take Him by surprise” feels less like a platitude and more like a lifeline tossed into rough waters.

 

The chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan is the slow, steady kind that burns long after the flames die down. Watching Jesslyn wrestle with God in the aftermath of her pain -- her honest question: “Why didn’t He stop it?”—hits like a backdraft because we’ve all been there, standing in the ashes wondering why the rescue didn’t come.

 

Eason expertly crafts mysteries, weaving puzzles that play with your head. Every twist was like trying to outrun a fire line—you never know when it’ll shift direction.

 

But what really makes Serial Burn unforgettable is its heart. It’s about redemption, forgiveness, and learning to step out of the ashes without smelling like smoke. Nathan’s quiet words to Eli, “The issue isn’t you forgiving yourself, but accepting the forgiveness that God offers you,” will stay with me.

 

If you’re craving a story that lights up your faith while keeping you guessing, Serial Burn is your match. Eason delivers a firestorm of suspense wrapped in faith that smolders long after the final page.
