Heat Wave (Nikki Heat #1)
4 stars
198 pages
I've been on this Castle kick for the past couple of weeks - kids have been sick, I've been sick; husband, too. So I checked out the first three seasons of the show from my local library to help me veg out.
Have I told you how much I love libraries? Oh, yes. It's a well-known fact that when buying a house (which we do a lot, since we're moving every three years), I migrate toward homes that are close to libraries. In fact, now that I think about it, every home I've lived in during my married life has been within walking distance of a library. All the better to feed my addiction.
Sorry, back to the subject.
So, I fell in love with the wit and repartee and - dare I say it? - immaturity encapsulated in the main character of Richard Castle, played by Nathan Fillion. He is endearing and rascally!
I watched all three seasons in like 3 weeks, and begged my friend to let me borrow her seasons 4 and 5, which she did, bless her heart. I watched those in like 2 weeks. My daughter started watching them, too! Although I had to pick and choose the ones that were more appropriate for her. The sexy ones I nixed. While watching, I made a mental note to look into the books that the fictional Richard Castle wrote - the Derrick Storm books and Nikki Heat books.
I started with this one.
And I loved it just as much as I love the show! Because it reads exactly like a Castle episode. The writing is exactly the same as the show's writing. The characters are the same.
I will be reading more of these books - since I am not done with my glut of Castle.
There is some swearing - no F-bomb. A mild sex scene on page 105.
