Synopsis (Goodreads):
More than three centuries ago, Nicholas Winters irrevocably altered his genetic makeup in an obsession-fueled competition with alchemist and Arcane Society founder Sylvester Jones. Driven to control their psychic abilities, each man's decision has reverberated throughout the family line, rewarding some with powers beyond their wildest dreams, and cursing others to a life filled with madness and hallucinations.Thoughts on Fired Up: As it turns out, Arcane and J&J aren't universally beloved. Shocking, I know! Chloe (and her family) aren't enamored of them IN THE LEAST (well, except for that one relative who does a little, tiny bit of work for J&J). Meanwhile, Jack is fairly certain he's going to have a hit put out on him from the Society (and Fallon Jones) if the truth about his newly developing abilities becomes known.
Jack Winters, descendant of Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares and blackouts--just the beginning, he believes, of the manifestation of the Winters family curse. The legend says that he must find the Burning Lamp or risk turning into a monster. But he can't do it alone; he needs the help of a woman with the gift to read the lamp's dreamlight.
Jack is convinced that private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman. Her talents for finding objects and accessing dream energy are what will save him, but their sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to overwhelm them both. Danger surrounds them, and it doesn't take long for Chloe to pick up the trail of the missing lamp. And as they draw closer to the lamp, the raw power that dwells within it threatens to sweep them into a hurricane of psychic force.
On the plus side, that does mean Chloe and Jack have something in common. You know, seeing as they're both DEEPLY leery of Arcane and J&J. Common ground is good. Especially when it's joined by a heaping dose of simmering attraction. Add in that Chloe's dreamlight ability is exactly what Jack needs to save himself (probably) and you have the foundation for a solid partnership. Provided Jack doesn't lose his mind with his expanding abilities.
More than a little danger, a slew of bad guys, muddled memories, echoes from the past, and two slightly offbeat people finding one another as they work toward an end goal. I'm still reading this series (slightly) out of order, so I really like seeing Fallon all disheveled and overworked before he comes to his senses in his own story. So fun!
