Circle of Flames is fun, dangerous, and exciting.

We're back with some of the North American Quytel circle. Darius and Ash are being loaned to the African Quytel circle to help search for missing children of great potential powers. Emma is on a research trip to Northern Africa to find more details for her thesis paper. When she inadvertently stumbles into a supernatural hostage situation, she ends up being thrust into a world she has been searching for her whole life.

The story was fast-paced and not too world-heavy as the first book had at places. The relationship between Darius and Emma was a bit insta-y but it was fun nonetheless.

We got further information in the type of "other' beings that the Quytel searches for and protects and got more involved with the types of elementals rather than just the Earth. Emma, I felt Emma got the short end because she was a fire elemental and was basically ostracized by her family for being a psycho firebug when she was actually the source of the fire and not intentionally setting them. I felt it was fairly callous of the Quytel or maybe just short sited to not create some sort of x-men school for these kids not just for the ones with the Quytel markers. Like only because you lost the ability to locate "vessels" and you are now in possession of your defeated enemies boon are you now going to take in these children? Maybe being centuries-old just drives the humanity out of you?

Regardless, the story was fun and held my attention to the last page! I am looking forward to reading more with Ash and Maliha. (cuz she's kinda a kick-ass wolf-girl and all)!

Where the first book in the series was a introduction for readers to Jane Morrissey Quytel series.
This story is face paced romantic suspense with added elements of paranormal aspects. The book brings a world of supernaturals into the light as they try and figure out what it means and how to save those they love, and just met.
The author paints her world in light even in moments of darkness. Readers will be excited for the next in the series.

Thank you to the netgalley for a copy of Jane Morrissey Circle of Flames.

Back to the dangerous world of the Quytel once more. This time Darius has to face the task of returning to his first defeat - and possibly face the she-devil that almost cost him his life and his calling.

Emma is an academic with more than a dash of adventurer. She feels at home amongst ruins and long forgotten tombs, certainly more than she does with her actual family. After all, as far as they are concerned she is an odd duck - a fiery one at that. They certainly didn't take long to circle their wagons and ostracise her after her "episode".

Emma is soon pulled into the magic of the Quytel when she witnesses a small child being kidnapped and goes to intervene. She soon learns that she is not quite as alone in her abilities as she thought. After a hot night with Darius he "mind-blanks" her and deposits her back at home. Fast forward a few weeks and he and the other Quytel realise that the missing pieces of information they need are still locked somewhere in Emma's brain. But will she be as quick to help this time, especially after she learns what they did to her?

Child abduction is always a trigger for me and sure enough there were a couple of tears from me. However, I loved the way the entire storyline was dealt with and lets just say that the retribution of the Quytel, the Vessels and Emma is epic and well and truly justified. Roll on book 3!

Jane S. Morrissey keeps the magic and intrigue coming in the second instalment of The Quytel - Circle of Flames. A non-stop, high octane and captivating read, Circle of Flames incorporates all the necessary elements of a power-packed and thrilling romance. Suspense, action and a vast and varied cast of paranormal beings are set to enthral readers with their unique abilities and the challenges that they face in this evolving world. I hope the wait isn’t too long for book three!

The danger that the Quytel face is growing in power and this book is a great addition to the series Once again I was taken on a non stop adventure ride that drew me in and kept me engaged until I turned that last page. This is a wonderful mix of romantic suspense/adventure and paranormal romance

Emma has always felt alone and when she tries to safe a child from abduction and fails it just compounds that feeling That is until Darius a man sent to save those children arrives and she is inexplicable drawn to him. Can they rescue the children and do they have a future together.
