"If there's one reason to read this book, it's Zhong Ye. Holy crap. What a deep, complex character! You meet him in Silver Phoenix, but you don't *really* meet him until you read Fury. He's incredible, and now my favorite character in the Phoenix worl...more

First off, I LOVE this book. Now as to why:
- the pacing is consistently fast and quick-footed light - the characters are fantastic for the first book and likable. It's so difficult when you get hugely annoyed by any of the main characters which ha... " Read more of this review » |

Legend is a thrilling, intense, addictive ride that is shocking in it's violence yet emotionally touching. The characters breathe a life of their own and the world Marie has crafted is so well detailed and expanse, I felt like I was right there in...

| Gorgeous, dark, lush, and gothic. It's so refreshing to read a paranormal romance told from the point of view of the guy, and Ethan is a fantastic narrator. Through his eyes, Gatlin comes alive in all its small town glory, full of whispers and secret...more | |
“You should have taken me with you," I whisper to him. Then I lean my head against his and begin to cry. In my mind, I make a silent promise to my brother's killer.
I will hunt you down. I will scour the streets of Los Angeles for you. Search every street in the Republic if I have to.
