Be careful what you wish for....

A small town librarian lives a quiet life without much excitement. One day, she mutters an idle wish and, while standing in her house, is struck by lightning. But instead of ending her life, this cataclysmic event sparks it into a new beginning. She goes in search of Lazarus Jones, a fellow survivor who was struck dead, then simply got up and walked away. Perhaps this stranger who has seen death face to face can teach her to live without fear. When she finds him, he is her opposite, a burning man whose breath can boil water and whose touch scorches.

As an obsessive love affair begins between them, both are forced to hide their most dangerous secrets--what turned one to ice and the other to fire...

I had been suffering from a bit of a reading lull (it took me about three weeks to read two books!) but this I read in just over a day. I love the way Hoffman weaves a touch of magic & the supernatural into her tales & the way they are reminiscent of fairy tales & this one certainly has a touch of the Grimm's about it with the two lovers - one of fire & one of ice. The effect of a lightning strike on a person certainly made for intriguing reading & while it was a great read it's not one my favourites by this author.
