| Danny has a lot going on in her life. She’s got three men that want her for various reasons but they all seem to want to control her. Danny is a strong woman who wants to be free to go her own way. Unfortunately for her, she is a werewolf, and wolves must answer to their alpha. Adam is her alpha and has no intention of letting her go anywhere, even though she desperately wants to be free. Then there’s her vampire lover Savior who has a hold on her, and the lover she got from hell Asmodai, who wants her just as badly as everyone else.
At times she feels like she doesn’t want any of them. She’s got new powers that are uncontrollable, and now she’s somehow the enforcer in her pack, and her Alpha seems to be going out of control. What can she do? Queen of the Burning Fields is a fast paced story that has a lot going on. It is definitely not a stand alone book, as a lot of what happens in the first two is what drives her behavior in this one. I’ve read all three, and I think this one is better than the second book in the series, but not as good as the first one that got me hooked on it. I think it’s because I am beginning to wish she would just pick someone instead of dragging it out. Although I liked her Alpha in the first two, this one made him entirely unlikable and somewhat of a spoiled brat, instead of a werewolf that had instincts he needed to follow. There was not much of the vampire, nor her other lover from Hell both of which are intriguing men I’d like to see more of (particularly the vampire). Part of the draw to this story is that for all Danny’s immense power, she seems to be controlled by people that don’t have near the amount she does, namely her pack. I guess because in some ways it’s like family, they can control your actions long after you leave home, even though they technically don’t have any hold on you. Queen of the Burning Fields is definitely a different kind of love story that will keep you guessing as to what she’s going to do next.
