Playing around one night, jokingly building a Wiccan altar in the dead of winter, Jacob accidentally summons the Spirit of Fire. And it has a message: the world will end unless a human sacrifice is made to the Old Gods.
He has two nights to find a willing candidate who doesn't think he's crazy. If he doesn't, his terrifying visions of flames will become horrifyingly real.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
A short story where nothing much happened. The writing pace was strange though. The first 2/3rds were written slowly and spaced out like it was a novel, then the last 3rd was rushed with a twist in plot. The twist was clever and stupid at the same time.
Without giving away any spoilers I think this book would have served better if the start had of been edited, then the book as a whole was presented as a '0.5 book' to a series. Kind of a way to introduce the main character and how he got his powers.
