BURN

by Eric Cuestas-Thompson
review

MJ Jensen:

BURN is a dark and compelling novel about ten people whose lives become entwined in a series of coincidences. The book begins with a horrific fire and crash and steps back to the previous 14 days leading up to the catastrophic event. The characters are complex and perplexing. Several gay issues come up with several of the players. It leads the reader to explore and question the choices we make in everyday situations. There are some erotic scenes that challenge the characters' sexuality and society's acceptance. The author takes the reader on a detailed map of the Tucson area and it becomes a link to how the characters find each other. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be kept on the edge of their seat.
