ARC Review

I read book one and two back-to-back so I was grateful that I didn't have to wait too long for the story to pick back up again.  Phoenix Caged picked right up where book one ended off and we got to follow our FMC as she was kidnapped and journeyed through unknown lands.  The book seemed to start off pretty slow but really picked up once it hit its stride.  I found Moira very naive and a little annoying in the beginning, but her I really warmed up to her character and enjoyed her growth throughout the book.  This one ends on a cliffhanger (as expected) but I'm looking forward to see how the series continues.  

⭐⭐⭐1/2 /5 Stars, 🌶️🌶️/5 Spice
