I was immediately ensnared by Phoenix. This mystery created by AJ Scudiere is packed with suspense, action, and well-written details.
Jason Mondy is a firefighter who is unwillingly in the spotlight after he heroically helped save two boys from a fire. His girlfriend broke up with him and to top it off, he is inundated with nightmares. The true mystery begins when his adoptive mother shares a secret that she has kept with him for the majority of his life.
My only critique was that I found the switching between a character's first and last names confusing at times when they were first introduced, but the chart with the fire station's lineup helped.
I have heard that the secret to writing engaging characters is to make them flawed. Scudiere's characters are just that and it makes a fictional character seem genuine and relatable. She filled Phoenix with flawless descriptions and even a smidgen of humor.
I also love the symbolism behind the cover of the book and the title.
