My Review


This book is my first introduction to author, Eugenia Lovett West and Emma Streat. Wow, I really enjoyed this book. I was not even done with the first chapter and already I knew I was going to be in for a real treat. Luckily, I was not wrong.

There are some past relationship/dynamics in this book but nothing that distracts from this book and will keep you from reading this book. In fact, this book can be read as a stand alone novel. After finishing this book and really enjoying it; I will be going back and reading the prior Emma Streat novels.

I though there was lots of action happening throughout the story but there was more to come within the last third of the storyline. The last several chapters had me in suspense awaiting how the story would end. Firewall will have you losing hours of time while reading this book!
