Phoenix Fire
by S.D. Grimm
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I went into Phoenix Fire not really knowing what to expect. Being completely honest, I saw a cool phoenix on the cover, I saw the YA fantasy genre, and I said "let's give it a shot!". I'm glad that I did!
So in the beginning of the book, things were a little cliche. Our main character, Ava, is in a foster house and never feels like she belongs, and doesn't really want to belong. Then she starts to experience memories and maybe come into certain "powers." *Eyeroll* and I'm thinking "crap, is this a middle grade book?" because it really seemed way to juvenile early on. Enter: new guys. New guys with secrets about her past, her powers, and what she has to do with said powers.
When it came down to it, I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the phoenix life cycles, as well as the familial ties and how all of that came into play. Also, the romance in the book came was really sweet but also had its bitterness as well. Wyatt, at times, got a little whiny but I really liked seeing his character and his relationship with Ava and the two brothers unfold. Plus I think it will be really interesting to see what further role Yuki will play in things. I am very intrigued to read the next book in the series!!
