...me. 8. A year's membership to the gym. I used to really love to workout or attend an aerobics class. I won't be able to afford it now I have a mortgage to pay. It would be great to go and not worry about cost. 9. £100 a month to blow on clothes and shoes. Again with a mortgage I am going to have to make do for a while. I have an old pair of trainers which are practically falling off my feet at the moment. 10. I would love it if my family were closer to me. My mum, sister and nieces all live in the Cotswolds.

Thanks for reading. Maybe as it is getting nearer Christmas you may want to... Read review

Disadvantages: A little bit far-fetched in places but the terrorism theme is a little too real

Advantages: An unusual novel with a witchcraft theme
Disadvantages: Marketed as a Romantic novel which may deter some readers.

...New York Times bestsellers including 23 written as J.D. Robb. A full list of her works can be found on her website along with further information about her life and family. www.noraroberts.com Information about Piatkus, the publisher of my copy of Face The Fire can be found at www.piatkus.co.uk My copy of the novel carries the cover price of £5.99, however I purchased it for £1 in a local second hand book shop! Face The Fire can be obtained from www.amazon.com for £.25 new or 1p used. My thoughts and conclusion This book is marketed in the romantic fiction genre and I would have to say that yes, there is a romantic thread to it, however please do not let that put you off. Face The Fire is an unusual novel, this is not a ?Cartlandesque? romantic novel. There is a little of everything in this book, witch craft, horror, history... Read review
