Summary: The Fire Opal
Review: Finding a book that I am unable to put down is a real treat. Fire Opal is just this type of book. The author offers well develped characters, a great plot, and lots of suspense. Fire Opal takes you into the world of the Cajuns living in the LA. swamps and a world that includes witchcraft, vodoo, and demons. It is a world where "good" and "evil" battle, with love being the key to the war. The author does an excellent job of bringing the paranormal to life in a most believable manner.

Review: I got this book several months ago and put off reading it because it seemed like other books were calling out to me. I wish I would have read this book sooner. I loved it! The storyline was interesting and different.

Liz ran away from home 20 years ago at the age of 15 after a frightening incident. She left behind her boyfriend and her family and let them believe she was dead. Twenty years later she returns to Louisiana, shocking the entire town to find out that she is alive. She soon discovers she is still in love with her teenage lover, Zach, and also finds out that she is the guardian of the Fire Opal. An interesting book with supernatural powers. A must read!

Summary: Super supernatural, a gripping story to sweep you away
Review: This book was a new experience for me, one of those I didn't realize what I was walking into-or reading into. (Forgive the poor grammar.) However, reading on I found it impossible to put down, couldn't turn loose of the story or the characters, because I had to know what happened to them, regardless whether or not this was the type of book I usually read. It wasn't my usual thing, but it made no difference. Connie kept me hooked.

Her imagery skills as she wrote the words made the story unfold in my mind as if it were a wide-screen movie, and I had the best seat in the house. The only hard thing to swallow (no pun intended) was the hero's ever bottomless flask, which defied explanation.

Bored with the same old, same old...? I highly recommend Fire Opal by Connie Flynn if you're looking for something different. It's truly wonderful.
