Faces in the Fire by By T.L. Hines
This morning I finished Face in the Fire by T.L. Hines. It’s my first book by this author but if this book is any indication of how he write is definitely won’t be my last.
The book follows four individuals through almost four separate stories and how their lives intertwine. The book genre is different from the normal book I’d pick up but I’m so glad I did. The narrative format of the book is unique and if not done right would have been horrid but this is done right. The random chapter numbering drove me nuts at first (it’s my “need for order” issue) but I quickly “got it” and it works.
Seriously, this is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I was entertained, I wanted to see what happened next, I couldn’t wait to finish the book but in a good way – I wanted to see what happened. To be honest, I can often tell you what’s going to happen in a book after the first few chapters. It wasn’t until the end of this book (last couple chapters) that I finally got the whole thing – which was good.
They book is described as suspense – I don’t know that I’d necessarily classify it that way but I can see that.
In all honestly, I can’t say enough about how great this book was. I’ll definitely be recommending it to friends.

From the back cover
Four lost souls on a collision course with either disaster or redemption. A random community of Faces in the Fire.
Meet Kurt, a truck-driver-turned-sculptor with no memory of his past. Corinne, an e-mail spammer whose lymphoma isn’t responding to treatment. Grace, a tattoo artist with an invented existence and a taste for heroin. And Stan, a reluctant hit man haunted by his terrifying gift for killing.
They don’t know each other, at least not yet. But something–or someone–is at work in the fabric of their lives, weaving them all together. A catfish, a series of numbers scribbled on a napkin, a devastating fire, and something mysterious. Something that could send them hurtling down the highway to disaster–or down the road to redemption. But they won’t know which is which until they’ve managed to say yes to the whispers in their souls.
