Fire Baptized was given to me by the author Kenya Wright. Lanore, a Mixbreed or "Mixie" (she’s part Fairy and part Demon) is marked with a silver X brand on her forehead. This is how all of the supernaturals are identified by the humans that keep them locked behind caged cities called The Habitat. The marks of the supernaturals are: a full moon for Vampires, a crescent moon for Shifters, a pair of wings for Fairies ect....
Lanore has the ability to create fire which she does not reveal except under extreme emergencies. Lanore just wants to finish college to provide herself with a better life. She has always stolen the thing that she needs. One night on her way home she sees a lady being tortured, murdered and then cut up into little bitty pieces. The killer knows that Lanore witnessed the murder and starts leaving notes for her.
Lanore enlist the help of her boyfriend, Zulu a mixbreed and ex-boyfriend/roommate, Meshack a Were-cheetah to help find the killer before she is the murderer's next victim. Zulu and Meshack both care about Lanore very much and only want her to be happy. They will do anything that they have to to keep her safe. Lanore is a very strong and independent person she doesn't need and especially dosen't want any one to fight her battles for her. She can and will fight for herself.
Zulu is the leader of the Mixed Breed Rights Movement. As the leader Zulu fights for the rights of the Mixie's to have equal rights and the same justice as all the purebloods have in The Habitat. The Mixies are second class citizens. They are not allowed to sit up front when in a club, they are made to sit in the back and are not allowed to use the bathrooms.
I really, really loved Fire Baptized. I loved that it had a new twist on all the different supernaturnals like Vampires, Shifters, Fairies, Witches etc... It kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end before the murder was revealed. If you love the parnormal, supernaturals and urban fantasy then I would suggest that you run don't walk to the store right now to pick up a copy. You will not be disappointed.
