About this listen
Fire was my only companion. A burning light in a world otherwise filled with darkness. A life of pain and abuse I never thought I’d escape.
I’m still not convinced I have.
When friendly Santa-figure turned trucker, Al, finds me at a rest stop and offers me a job at his idyllic farm in small-town Nebraska, the picturesque family life is more than I could hope for.
And his youngest son, Kyle, is a dream romance that I don’t deserve.
But no dream lasts. As a new nightmare begins, I’m back where I started. Captive. Abandoned. Alone. And staring into the flames.
Except this time the embers are dying, and when the monster in the dark enslaves my soul, no one will stoke me back to life.
If you like a survivor story with a touch of romance, you will love this beautiful dark psychological thriller.
Please be sure to listen with care and check for tropes on the author's website.

Story
Amanda Jackson was used to toxic men. Its all she'd ever known. And this gorgeous blonde property manager, Connor Brooks, was a walking red flag. But she needed a place to stay, and this unit sounded amazing. She'd be crazy not to look at it. For Connor, finding a mark was easy. A simple ad in the classifieds. Once they were inside, it was too late to escape. They had no way out. One look at their frightened eyes on the monitor, that's when the housebreaking could begin. The second Connor closed the door, Amanda understood her situation.

Story
Welcome to Devil’s Crossing. Here monsters don’t hide in the shadows. They aren’t made of myth and magic either. Normal men are the things that go bump in the night, and I am the most dangerous of them all. I am vengeance wrapped in a pretty package, but you can call me Sin, everyone else does. I’m a ghost made of flesh and blood. Legally, I don’t exist. Sold into slavery as a child, I exist as nothing more than a weapon, bringing death where the boss of our underground syndicate directs me.

This was such a great read!
It's been a while since I read the book itself and listening to it I was reminded at how good it was. There were several bits I hadn't remembered and several spots that had me feeling so many emotions I found myself being overwhelmed with emotions. There are some hard things that happen so if you are easily triggered, just know that.

A Different Kind of Listen
If you are looking for something different to listen to, then you have found it. I will warn you that this book is pretty intense to listen to and the narrator did an amazing job with it. The suspense in this on is high. Sarah is a girl who had a past that can only be described as brutal. The present doesn't look much better either. She is in a bad situation and no way for things to look any better or even get any better. The first half of this book will really almost rip your heart out and have you gasping a time or twenty. This book comes in sections. First you get Sarah's point of view and we get to meet Al and his family The second part of the book is told from Kyle's point of view. But I won't tell you who they are. I feel like you need to discover that yourself. This is a for sure a book you peel back a layer at a time.

Girl on Fire
Girl on Fire was my first read/listen by Danielle Bannister, and I enjoyed it. I'm super excited to read more by this author. This book is about Sarah.
Sarah has had a hard life. She's trying to move on and get a new start. Al is a truck driver who picks her up and offers her a place to stay until he can take her to California at the end of the summer. As she is there she meets Al's two sons Kyle and Brad.
Sarah falls for Kyle, but Brad does not make their relationship easy. There is so much that happens in this book. This book kept me wanting more. Sarah goes through so much in her life and will do anything to better it.
This book is dark, and I would recommend reading the trigger warnings. I loved the narrators that were picked for this book as well. It brought the story to life.

Excellent dark psychological thriller!
This was my first Danielle Bannister's book, and won't be my last. This is an excellent dark psychological thriller. The characters are complex, and intriguing. Sarah is a wonderful, strong character. Her story is heart wrenching, and my heart broke for her. The storyline is intense, and captivating, filled with drama, and twists and turns. The plot is well crafted, and enthralling. Some scenes aren't for the faint of heart. Sarah Puckett and Oliver Highpoint did an excellent job bringing these characters, and this story to life. This is a great team author/narrators.

What a trip!
This one took me on a trip! I was unsure what was going to happen and kept waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop. There are twists and turns that shook me! The characters are intense and I did not trust any of them. The main character has not had a nice life but she perseveres on with caution. She knows her issues and does her best to keep them under control.
I listened to this on audio. Sarah Puckett and Oliver Highpoint are the narrators. They both do an amazing job.

This is the first book I've read/listened to by Danielle Bannister. It was well written with a engaging storyline and complicated characters. My heart dropped at the end. The twists and turns kept me glued to it! I didn't want to pause it.
Oliver Highpoint and Sarah Puckett are excellent narrators. They brought this book to life with emotional performances that had this audiobook rolling like a movie in my head. Perfection!

Truly gripping.
This started out interesting, promptly grew gripping, then turned pretty dark … and then it evolved more from there but I don’t want to spoil anything. I’ll just say that I couldn’t put it down and became an instant fan of this author.
Extortion.
SA.
Lies, betrayal.
Broken heroine.
Wrongfully convicted.
Epic love story.
Overall:
4 stars.
Audio:
Puckett is one of my favorite narrators, her voice is amazing, you can always tell who is talking, whose POV it’s in, etc. Overall production is perfect. 🦩

Girl on Fire
This was my first Danielle Bannister book I have read. This is a dark, suspense romance. Sarah has lived a rough life. Trying to get away she meets Al. Al takes her to live with his family. This book may contain trigger warnings for some. What a journey Sarah has been through to finally get a HEA. Sarah Puckett and Oliver Highpoint did a fantastic job narrating this book.

flames
Sarah is strong, independent, confused, feelings of despair.
Her childhood was horrible.
She found solace in the flames. The flames are her addiction
mesmerizing, hypnotic, that is what calms Sarah.
Never get close to people, she felt unworthy to be loved.
she's running away. picked up by a kind hearted trucker, made a deal with her to help on his farm for the summer, then drive her to her destination when finished.
Trouble finds her, makes her uneasy. The urge of the flames encompass her.
Thrilling, with twists, sadness fear, and hope.
Sarah Puckett and Oliver Highpoint are phenomenal. They both bring depth to each character. They live the story. I can feel each moment of anguish, anger, torment, fear, throughout the story. Thank you for bringing this story to life.
