With a title like this, you know someone will rise from the ashes. An interesting story about firefighters just doing a job until firefighter Jason learns a secret. As Jason does his oh-so-dangerous job, loses and gains girlfriends, loses and gains family, he tracks that secret. The suspense subtly gets tighter until the secret is exposed and everyone has to come to terms with it. Some chapters are written so you see what Jason sees as he moves through the day and other chapters see the station house, which is initially disconcerting. The author does a good job of yanking you along on the roller coaster. You care about Jason and the other firefighters and become intrigued with the secret. Really strong writing and an exceptional story. The ending made me cry. Received free copy for review.

The characters are realistic and flawed (in a good way), exactly the way that I like them. The story is engaging and has some nice twists that I didn't expect. I recommend this book for anyone who likes mysteries (and maybe firefighters).

I really enjoyed this book. I liked getting to see the first person experience of the main character, Jason, as well as the third person view of everyone in the fire house. The story kept me turning pages and I loved the twists. The author did a lot of research and the true-to-life details really brought the story to life. I think this would be a great book for book clubs. How do you deal with your future when your past isn't what you thought it was?
