Synopses & Reviews
Bernice tried to live twice, by bringing death to one man so that she could live with another. Instead of the paradise she sought, Bernice found herself in an unholy hell, married to the devil. Lloyd's death did not free her, did not make her happy; but now that she was with Carlos she knew who she was at last, and she accepted it. Bernice was the great-grandmother of every whore who ever lived, the slut of all sluts, the sickest, loneliest, most depraved and sinful woman on the face of the earth. She had no choice now, there was no going back. She'd earned her place in hell. Fires That Destroy is a relentless, revealing search into the soul of a woman unlike any other.
