However, when George retires and leaves Ava in the hands of Mason Fox, the most powerful man in the criminal underworld, Ava finds herself in a passionate but toxic relationship.

Editoral Review
D.H. Sidebottom’s Incineration is a gripping, heart-stopping novel that delves into the darkest corners of humanity. Sidebottom’s writing is both fluid and intense, with well-drawn characters and an engaging plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
Incineration follows the story of a small, isolated community in Maine that suddenly finds itself in the middle of a devastating fire. With homes, businesses, and lives at risk, the townsfolk must band together to save themselves from the raging inferno.
But as the fire rages on, they soon discover that there may be something sinister at play. Sidebottom’s novel is a masterful exploration of human psychology and the depths of depravity that people are capable of.
The author’s use of vivid, descriptive language paints a visceral picture of the hellish landscape that the characters find themselves in, and the tension is palpable throughout. Sidebottom’s characters are well-developed and multi-dimensional, with their own unique personalities and backgrounds.
The protagonist, Grace, is a captivating heroine who is strong-willed and determined to save her community at all costs. The antagonist, on the other hand, is a disturbingly charismatic figure who pulls the strings behind the scenes, manipulating and controlling those around him.
Despite its dark subject matter, Incineration is a thought-provoking novel that tackles issues of power, control, and abuse. Sidebottom’s writing is nuanced and insightful, and the themes explored in this book are more relevant today than ever before.
However, the book is not without its flaws. At times, the pacing can be a little slow, and some readers may find the graphic depictions of violence and rape to be too much to handle.
Additionally, the ending may leave some readers feeling unsatisfied. Overall, Incineration is a masterful work of suspense and psychological horror that will keep readers up late into the night.
It is a book that is not for the faint of heart, but for those who are looking for a thought-provoking and engaging thriller, Incineration is a must-read. I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
