Phoenix Flame by Sara Holland

4.0

After the events in the previous book and the stopping of a major evil, things seem to be getting back to normal at Havenfall, finally. This place has always been a place of so much comfort for Maddie. She is still trying to sort her feelings out when it comes to how she feels about Taya and Brekken. But, at least with Brekken, it seems that a MORE might actually be possible, like she has been wanting for so long.

But, there is still more work to be done at the Inn. And in the process of these tasks, she discovers something that flips her whole world upside down. Upon the discovery that someone very dear to her is alive instead of dead as she thought for so long, her plans have taken a tailspin, creating new problems and obstacles she must overcome in order to make everything right again.

Among all of this, Maddie is still trying to sort through her feelings for Brekken and Taya. And while I love both of these characters, I get the unfortunate Gale from The Hunger Games vibe from Brekken and fear that his position as a soldier will always be the most important thing to him.
