Synopsis (Goodreads):
Ellie's pursuit of a possessed friend and her own worst enemy takes her across the United States into forgotten corners of the countryside through haunted hotels, ghost towns, and strange highways, and toward the site of a horrific fire haunted by hundreds of spirits.

Together with her team, plus help from an eccentric exorcist from Texas, prepares for the fight of her life, a fight destined since her own childhood.

Ellie's past and present collide in a final confrontation that will change the course of her life, giving her a chance to finally be rid of her most dangerous personal demon—if he doesn't kill Ellie first, along with the people she cares about the most.
Thoughts on Fire Devil: Things are finally coming to a head for Ellie and the ghost who killed her parents. Really, a ghost with an unholy love of fire and a desire to crush the one who got away is a menace to everyone who crosses him, so this was a long time coming.

Plus, Ellie's had to live with the specter of this douchecanoe since he targeted her family when she was younger and that can be wearing on a person.

That said, Ellie can hold her own against the things that go bump in the night. She's resourceful and dogged and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Given that she's afraid anyone who gets close to her might end up in her ghost's crosshairs, she's also a little reluctant to allow people close. Sure, she has a few friends and she's done the dating thing, but, really, her entire life is wrapped up around when Anton will strike next and how he'll end up hurting someone.

To finally have some closure on that aspect of her life is a good thing.

Plus, he's no longer out there terrorizing anyone unlucky enough to cross his path.

What does this mean for our plucky ghost trapper? I don't really know. The whole world is open to her now and she can lead a (relatively) normal life. She's paid her dues and all that, so maybe a little downtime is in the cards.

Then again, maybe normal is overrated.

We got all the thrills that routinely come with a team who battle ghosts with the added bonus of A WHOLE LOT OF FIRE. Because life for Ellie and the others isn't dangerous enough, right? *thumbs up*
