Training young Jane to be the one thing the … the one thing the shadows feared. Now, at the age of twenty-five, she is known as Phoenyx, the world’s deadliest supernatural assassin.

I love finding new PnR series to sink my teeth into, and when I read the blurb for The Phoenyx series it had me intrigued straight away.
Daisy St James has created a fascinating world.with a range of fantastic characters. I liked Phoenyx straight away she’s one badass assassin. I loved her relationship with Hutton and Cortez, it made me laugh at times.
I found myself engrossed in this story, the whole good verses evil the light and darkness and which side will be victorious.
Phoenyx has a lot to deal with when she discovers some truths about who she is, I can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
I loved the attraction and pull between Phoenyx and Judas it was seductive and hotttt, that ending…..OMFG!
But my favourite character is Ash, he’s very mysterious and I’m curious to learn his secrets. So I’m hoping we get more from him in book 2….fingers crossed.
Daisy St. James has created a bit of magic with Phoenyx in Flames. Phoenyx is a vampire hunter with a past that isn’t quite what it seems. She is an enigma and a puzzle that isn’t easy to put together. She’s drawn to Judas but what about Ash? As bits and pieces of her past become known, it’s obvious that this world she inhabits is going to be more fascinating and full of secrets than at first thought possible. The writing is natural with distinct voices for each character. The plot is multi-layered and hints of so much more to come. I really enjoyed this book and am eager to begin the next in the series.
I want MORE!! This is the first in this series and I am already desperate for bk 2!! I can already tell this is going to be a series that will pull you into a beautifully rich world with complex characters and a storyline that will twist and turn in so many ways, you will be kept guessing every step of the way!
Well I can say so many things about this story that I am still reeling from reading but no spoilers so lets see. There’s supernatural beings I mean we have vamps and all kinds of others. We have suspense, and intrigue and yup romance. We have Phoenix herself who is a butt kicking bad a$$ with a past and connection that is unknown well until we get more info towards the end of the book. There is a ton going on and yes she has the chance to go dark or light. There’s Judas and a couple of other characters that have a big part in her future that may be pushing her towards one direction or another and of course the big secret of who and what she is. Yup all kinds of goodies in this debut from this author. It’s an amazing start to a new series from a new author who is making her mark in all the right ways. I look forward to reading more about Phoenix and those connected to her, it looks like it will be a wonderful exciting ride.
