This book jumps right into the action-packed and dangerous world of phoenix racing. Kel and her team, the Crimson Howlers, are forced to join forces with her rival, Coup, after tragedy strikes their team. Soon, the team decides to start working for NAME, who has an unsettling interest in Kel's phoenix, Savita.
It took a tiny bit to get my bearings since this book dove right into the action, but once I did, I was absolutely invested. There are tons of high-stakes, and lots of action and danger that had me on the edge of my seat. Kel was a bold and strong FMC who fiercely loves her friends and phoenix. Coup was arrogant, frustrating, and absolutely the perfect love interest for Kel. I also found myself immersed in the political scheming. The actual phoenix racing wasn't the only danger faced by Kel and her crew, and it was so dramatic and engaging. This was an fantastic debut and I was so iimpressed by the world building, perfectly timed twists, and complexity of the plot and characters.
