Book Blurb:

what she really is, but what it is her destiny to become…
My Review:
I was given phoenix rising from the author in return for an honest review, for a tour post through Tempting Book Tours. Now, let me tell you, I was excited to read it because it seemed like it would be different than a lot that I have been reading lately and I was not disappointed.
I loved this book, literally, I stayed up and read till I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore so that I could finish it. Maggie is an excellent character, she is believable and grows into a very strong person through the course of the book. I was so happy when I discovered the layers of the story beginning to unfold and the whole thing coming together. Also, the love story in this book is one where I just can’t decide what team I’m on. I love Michel and how much he loves Maggie, but… there is just that part of me who always loves a bad boy, in this case, Luc.
If you like fantasy, then Phoenix Rising is right up your alley. It has all the stuff we love, vampires, fey, witches and more. I will admit, this is the first book I’ve read having to do with a phoenix and I just adored it. Lisa C. Morgan did a wonderful job creating this world for us. I am excited for the next one to come out so I can see what happens.
