Publisher's Summary

The city is heating up....

Ash doesn't know who he is or how he ended up in an old coal mine outside the city. Even more terrifying, he discovers that he can throw fire from the palms of his hands when he saves Rachel from being mugged. She's a researcher who develops a curiosity for his powers. With the help of Rachel and her coworker Perry, Ash tries to piece together what happened to him.

They soon encounter another super they call the Gatekeeper, who knows Ash's history and holds a grudge against him for it that he expects Ash to pay for. But the Gatekeeper seems to be more powerful than Ash's own moniker: Heat. 

With the Gatekeeper's apprentice Black Magnet terrorizing the city, Heat will have to fight his way to uncover answers about his past.

However, those answers won't set him free.

Meandering Exposition

This book manages to somehow have a story that is completely predictable AND feel like it's being made up as it goes along.
The characters all speak in exposition dumps to each other, when they're not contradicting themselves from as little as one paragraph previously.
The worldbuilding (citybuilding?) is so narrow and shallow that it feels as if the whole thing takes place in a bad 90's videogame. Honestly, if there weren't mountains bordering the town, I think there'd be impenetrable fog.
The narration is capable, but honestly there's only so much dramatic exclamation that will fit into a scene. Probably not the narrator's fault there, but still.
Overall, this almost 6 hour book should have been a more cohesive 1 hour.
