Customer Reviews––
★★★★★"Reign of Fire is a gripping thriller with a scorching romance and a bit of paranormal. From the first page, I was hooked. The plot moves at a fast pace with twists and turns I didn't see coming. The characters are so realistically drawn, I found myself clinging to their every word. I whispered helpful hints to Emily so she'd stay out of danger. Yes, I was that immersed in the story. " --NN Light Book Heaven
★★★★★"Suspense, danger, a touch of the paranormal and enough action to keep readers turning page after page. I love a good conspiracy where money and power hide in the shadows eating away at all we hold dear. Tossing in a special twin connection makes Reign of Fire a near perfect read.

My Review:
Unease floods Emily's veins and she worries about her twin sister's safety. When her brother, Wyatt, delivers the horrible news of her sister's murder, her life spins out of control. She flies to DC and teams up with Detective Ash to bring her sister's murderer to justice. The more they uncover, the more she realizes she and Ash are in mortal danger. The Deep State has infiltrated the American government and they will stop at nothing to cover their tracks. Can Emily trust her gut and her sister's spirit guiding her, even if it means right into Ash's embrace? Or will Emily be the next victim in the Deep State's long list of murders?
Reign of Fire is a gripping political thriller with a scorching romance plus a bit of paranormal thrown in. From the first page, I was hooked. The premise of the Deep State is ripped from today's headlines and if you look close enough, it rings true to what is happening with a certain government. The plot moves at a fast pace with twists and turns I didn't see coming. The characters are so realistically drawn, I found myself clinging to their every word. I whispered helpful hints to Emily so she'd stay out of danger. Yes, I was that immersed in the story. A satisfying ending but still kept it open for the next book in the series. Casi McLean is a superb suspense author who blends suspense, romance and paranormal so seamlessly, the reader doesn't even notice it. A political thriller not to be missed!
Favorite Character/Quote:
Emily. Not only is she a strong heroine, but her grief over her sister also adds a fragility to her that connected me with her right from the start. She's on the hunt to find her sister's killer but also can't deny her attraction to Ash. She's brave and takes risks to save those she cares for. I hope she's in more books.
ToMeTender ReviewTwins have a special connection, a sixth sense, so when Emily started "feeling" that something had happened to her sister, Alyssa, she couldn't have been more right. Alyssa was dead, murdered, and Emily will move heaven and earth to find her killer. What she uncovers is a powerful conspiracy group making a play to destroy America's democracy.
Aided by the handsome detective, Ashton Frasier and her twin's ghost, Emily may uncover more than she could have dreamed, out of the ashes of death, she may even find love.
Casi McLean's REIGN OF FIRE combines suspense, danger, a touch of the paranormal and enough action to keep readers turning page after page. I do love a good conspiracy where money and power hide in the shadows eating away at all we hold dear. Tossing in that special twin connection, (which I have seen first-hand, more than once), makes this a near perfect read. Romance when you least expect it puts this one over the top!
Great world building, dark secrets and machinations, abuse of power, this is a must read for anyone who loves well-told suspense! And it all started with a spilled cup of coffee and an innocent woman just trying to do the job she loved.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2019Reign of Fire by USA Today bestselling author, Casi McClean, is the first book in the Deep State Mysteries series. Set in dazzling Washington DC, this fast paced mystery is also part political thriller, part steamy romance, and part paranormal.
I’m not going to rehash the plot, because you can easily read about it in the book description or in the many other reviews. I’d rather tell you what I enjoyed.
Several characters dominate the story, including the fiery protagonist, Emily Rose, dynamic detective Ashton Frasier, Emily's murdered twin sister Alyssa, who appears as a spirit, her amazing war veteran brother, Wyatt, and the brave Pets for Vets dog, Duke.
As always, although it wasn’t the primary theme in this story, I absolutely love the elements of the wounded warrior and the dog who I’m hoping will become his best companion in the next books in the series.
I also really appreciated the deep sense of true patriotism shown by the author in her analysis of what’s gone wrong in government, why we need to return to our ideals as a nation, and how the “Deep State” has taken control of so many aspects of our lives purely for power and money. Many of the fundamental ideas discussed by the characters rang true to me and I cheered them on as they tried to “drain the swamp” and expose the sleazy politicians.
While there is a great deal of political theorizing and revelation going on, there are also many action-packed scenes that move the plot forward. My favorite scene was the sting set up between the heroes and the villain in a Washington park at night. The tension was high, the action was well-depicted, and the environment was beautifully described. I felt as if I were right beside Ash and Emily. I could feel the cool March breeze on my face, smell the cherry blossoms, and relate to the adrenaline shooting through the heroes’ veins.
Anyone who reads this first story in the series will want to continue to see what ungodly secrets our new heroic team discovers about our government. I, for one, will be cheering them on throughout the series!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019This story was a thrill ride. We get transported deep into a murder mystery, politics, action and a hint of romance. The story was well written and detailed; I could have just walked into the story and been another character. I liked the development of the relationship and how the plot played out. I was thrilled along with questioning the mystery. I didn’t guess anything so that was nice. There was a hint of supernatural (or at least otherworldly belief). I liked the mixture of the two; I think it was a nice balance in the story. I also liked the characters, they were detailed and real, yet not over the top or out of place, if that make sense.
I think this was a nice read. My only issue what they I had no connection to the characters so I didn’t “feel” for them or their relationship. It was like reading their adventure rather than feeling their connection. Not a major issue, I just prefer to be connected to those I read. I am interested in this series now. 3.75 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020I loved this book, I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded the audio version so I wouldn't have to stop enjoying the story when I had other things to do. So my review is written after both reading and listening to this immensely enjoyable and intriguing story.
Alissa Rose was a twin so when she was murdered her twin sister Emily decides to try and find out why someone would kill Alissa who was interning in Washington DC, did she discover something she shouldn't?
Ashton Frasier, a handsome detective, found Alissa's body so he's the first person she goes to see after arriving in DC. When these two meet there is an instant connection - will this lead to romance?
She, her older brother Wyatt and Ash make a plan to find out the truth behind Alyssa’s murder and they get some unexpected help from Alissa - the connection between twins is strong!
This leads to the discovery of cover-ups and rogue officials, as well as lots of intrigue and so many surprises. There's also Duke a German Shepard they find during their investigation, I was sold by then if I hadn't been before, as I love dogs. But how does he fit in?
I could tell you so much more but that would involve spoilers which I refuse to do. What I will say is that if you, like me, enjoy a good mystery, lots of intrigues, palpable chemistry, great writing and hot romance, then this compelling and engaging tale is one you will enjoy.
The writing style is great, easy to follow and descriptive, the characters are well-drawn, and we have the spiritual world too, what more could we ask for?
The narration by Kristin James is well done and added to my enjoyment of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
Another great story from Casi McLean. I have read and enjoyed her lake Lanier series, so jumped into this one and she didn’t disappoint.
Emma, an investigative journalist, had a bad feeling when her twin sister didn’t answer her calls they would talk often since Alyssa moved to the Capitol to start out in the world of politics. It was so unlike her to not keep in contact. Emma’s ‘six sense’ was telling her something was wrong.
When the police arrived at her apartment with her brother Wyatt she knew already that the news was bad, she knew that her beloved twin sister was dead but she wasn’t ready to be told she has been murdered.
She traveled to identify the body this is where she met Ash the detective working on her sister's case. Together and with the help of Wyatt, they uncovered a web of corrupt politicians that went deeper than anyone could imagine.
A plan was put together to find out the truth about Alyssa’s murder. Love and magic would be there to help Emma.
