Phoenix Burning

Blood Feud #5

by Patti O'Shea

Phoenix Cahill is experiencing the Awakening, transforming from an asexual tantric vampire nestling to an adult who feeds on the orgasmic energy of her partners. Though any man will do, the only one she craves is her mysterious new neighbor. But feeding from the same man too many times could kill him, and Phoenix won't be satisfied by just one night….

Getting close to Phoenix was supposed to be only part of vampire enforcer Ivar LeBlanc's mission to find her father and bring him to justice. But the plan becomes complicated when he rescues Phoenix from an attack—and gives in to his own desire for her. Now he must choose between the woman he loves and the clan lord to whom he owes his life….

Reviews

[Valerie Tate Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a full-length novel, more of a novella (I don't know what the official definition of a novella is, but that's what it seemed like to me), so it's a pretty quick read. But the author still manages to develop her characters and story very well.

The heroine is a strong woman who is just coming into her own as a Tantric Vampire. She is just reaching her Awakening and is ready to start hunting for her first prey. Little does she know that super hot vampire (regular, blood drinking type this time) next door has his own plans for her.

This is a sexy read, so be prepared for some steamy bedroom play.

I liked both of these characters, and the story had good pacing from beginning to middle to end, unlike some novellas, that often feel rushed. Ms. O'Shea is one of my favorite authors and she doesn't disappoint in this smexy novella!
