Whew for a minute there I thought Sierra was a right pain in the butt. For the first part of the book I’m ready to throw her back and so is everyone else. She’s all in her head and becoming a detriment to the team. Once she gets her head back in the game then I can stop wanting to choke her out so the team can make some head way. This like the other’s in this series is full of intense action and self flagellation on Sierra’s part. Her actions become a hindrance this time until she gets her head in the game (I know I’m not the only reader that wanted her taken down a bunch of pegs). I wanted to take Gavin and take care of the boo since Sierra was so busy screwing up and pushing him away (come to momma poppy). The team has to trust in some unknown people and we all know that can’t be good. All in all it’s a great ending to the series but I would like to see this author take some of the secondary characters we all came to know and love and bring them out.
This book was given to me by booksprout. I am leaving this review freely. This is the first book of this series that I have read but I do not feel last as you do sometimes starting in the middle of a series. I love the adventure, self growth, and the growth of the group as a whole. They learn to work together to not only save themselves but so many others as well. I will have to find all the other books so I can read about all the other adventures they were on. Hope you enjoy as well.
Phoenix Unleashed by Margo Ryerkerk is an awesome story that I have read. This is book number five in this awesome series and I fell so in love with it. This is fast paced with a lot of action in it, it is an awesome YA story with paranormal roamance in it and I highly recommend this to everyone who loves reading these together.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is just fantastic! Well written this is entertaining, dark and twisted, fast paced and so intense I was biting my nails whilst reading! A YA urban fantasy series that is addictive and you feel as though you are right there with Sierra. Great characters, great world building, this is a must read series with an explosive ending! Would definitely recommend!
Phoenix Unleashed by Margo Ryerkerk a five-star read that will unleash your inner Legacy. This is the fifth novel in the Dark Legacy series and as this is the conclusion to the series, I would definitely recommend you read them in order as you get a great story doing it that way. This one picks up after the forth one and it runs away with the plot!! To keep the strength through all five books and just get better and better is a great talent. This is a great story as it will keep you hooked, it will also challenge you about how you feel about people, Sierra mostly, and it makes a compelling story. But its not just her it’s the rest of the team as well, they all pull some part of the story together and make a great read. Do not miss this series as its one that will stay with you and give you a passion for reading.
And now, in Margo Ryerkerk’s Phoenix Unleashed, her Dark Legacy Series comes to a fantastic conclusion in its fifth book. I’m not going to hint about whether or not Sierra finds a way to triumph over Bahadur, but I will say that the conclusion was spectacular and worked spectacularly. This series is YA Urban Fantasy at its best and it was given the ending it deserved. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read (though newcomers really are best off starting at the series first book), and it is easy to highly recommend.
The final book did not disappoint!! The team had to go up against Bahadur and it appeared as though they were going to lose because everything they tried they failed. They were not working together and it seemed like they were falling apart. They finally started to come together but was it too late because Sierra was captured….you will have to read the book to find out!! Margo Ryerkerk did a great job with the Dark Legacy series. It is a very unique new take on supernatural powers. I think there is more she can tell in this series, maybe additional story lines for Cooper and Pia. Thanks for a great new series!!
I was given the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book and it was very good. I have enjoyed the entire series and this final book was an excellent completion of it. It was full of danger and suspense, romance and lasting friendships. Margo Ryerkerk is an excellent author and her stories always surprise, entertain and captivate you.
Sierra, Gavin, Cooper, Pia, Calista and the rest of the crew find themselves in a battle against the newly awaken Bahadur and his minions. Bahadur can make anyone his minion with just a touch. Sierra may be the only one who can stop and stop him she must before he gets his hands on every human on earth before it is too late.
Sierra with all of her friends beside her is battling Bahadur when suddenly she finds everything turning black and she is being pulled down into nothingness. When she awakens she finds herself in a cold dark place with no memory of where she is or how she got came to be there.
As she is slowing becoming aware of her surroundings she realizes that her contact with Gavin has disappeared and she can no longer hear him. Sierra is sad as to her knowledge this can mean only one thing Gavin is no more, he is no longer alive.
Sierra is in a battle against Bahadur to save her friends and the whole world. Can she find the strength and what she needs to defeat Bahadur before he takes over the world and plunges everyone and everything as they know it into darkness?
I have read each and every one of the books in the Dark Legacy series and loved each one just as much as the last only in different ways. All are brilliantly written with lots and lots of magical twists to keep me hanging on and coming back for more each and every time.
I have loved following Sierra watching her come into her magic and then watching her magic grow more and more with each step she took fighting her way the whole way through. This has been a magically enthralling journey one in which I sorely hate to see come to an end.
The characters have all been amazing I have laughed and cried with them, they have made me feel their happiness and sadness, they have made me feel their fear, and they have made me feel as if my heart was going to jump right out of my chest as they are plummeting to the ground.
If you are into magically enthralling reads then you are going to love the Dark Legacy series.
Wow! What a ride and what a fantastic ending to what has been an incredible series. It’s well written, flows well and is a great page turner. To say I have enjoyed these books would be an understatement! I look forward to future books written by Margo.
I think Sierra developed in to a very strong character and grew up a lot through out the books. Gavin learned a lot about himself and how to work well with his friends and colleagues, to become a great ruler!
Final book and a perfect ending of a great series! I loved every page of it! It was a page turner, action packed with unexpected twists when you think you know where it goes and Margo proved you wrong. I love it! All the main characters Sierra, Gavin, Calista, Cooper, Pia have grown but specially Sierra, she literally grows in front of your eyes! She became a very strong leader, learning from her mistakes as a reckless girl becoming determined and confident heroine who knows she must do the only right thing the only right way! Perfect! I can’t say anything more without giving away spoilers. You must read it yourself!
Now is the saddest moment to say goodbyes to this series which I so loved.
A Deliciously Dark Final Book In This Series!!
Book #5 sees our team of heroines & heroes pushed further, and into darker parts of themselves, than anyone could’ve seen coming To fight the first ever and now immortal Umbra, Bahadur, they don’t feel like they have a choice!
Sierra & Gavin pull closer together then drift apart yet again when one wants more than the other! Calista & the silver mirror plays an important role alongside Sierra throughout, as do the lapis pendants!
Will the Adere & Umbra societies join together, finally, in the greatest fight for their lives & the planet’s? Can Sierra & co finally defeat Bahadur, even if they don’t personally survive the battle?
There are so many twists & turns in this finale it’ll make your head spin but it’s an exciting, terrifying, dark & worthy ending that’s unmissable!!
