Overall I found The Heat an enjoyable read. 
 I had a few issues with the beginning, but the story grew more engaging as it went on. There were several parts of the book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked the twists on the common werewolf myths and thought the world she built was interesting. 
 Although I liked Lily as a character, she frustrated me at times. I thought most of the other characters were lacking. Daniel in particular felt a bit too stereotyped and could have been done better.
