INVITING FIRE is the 6th novel in Emily Kimelman’s Bestselling Sydney Rye Series of mysteries. This series feature a strong female protagonist and her canine best friend, Blue. It is recommended for 18+ readers who enjoy some violence, don’t mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
Recovering from a near fatal attack that has left her with residual trauma, including haunting dreams and flashbacks, Sydney Rye is getting used to being a part of Joyful Justice, a vigilante network inspired by her now legendary acts of justice. Not a big “joiner” Sydney is uncomfortable with the positivity and camaraderie all around her at the Joyful Justice training camp, deep in the jungles of Costa Rica. But with her health in flux, and even her loyal dog Blue clearly worried about her, Sydney realizes it’s the safest place to be, for now.
Hungry to get back out in the field, Sydney works hard to prove herself to the leadership of Joyful Justice. Her good friend and trainer, Merl, warns that if she wants to be in the action she’ll have to follow orders like everyone else. Never good with authority, Sydney struggles to suppress her independent streak for the greater good.
Just when Sydney has finally regained the trust of her friends–and Blue’s allegiance–she runs up against an old adversary who blows apart everything she has gained. With her and Blue’s lives at stake, as well as the future of Joyful Justice, Sydney must decide between following orders and doing what she thinks is right.
