Phoenix #1

by Rachel Connell

Mature content

Gaia Christianson thought she'd been damned to die on a crumbling earth when she was given a chance at a new life on Phoenix, a recently discovered planet currently being colonized by humans fleeing the destruction of their once vibrant home world.

Cadeon West left behind everything he had ever known to raise cattle, and horses on the new planet only to have his plans swerve off course. When his path connects with Gaia's on board one of the many ships, his life will be forever entangled with hers. Whether he wants it to be or not.

Only those with enough money to purchase a boarding pass, or those given specific jobs on board the specially crafted ships, were able to leave earth behind just before it split. Are there survivors left behind?
You wont know until you turn the page, and find out!

An interesting plot and the author has done a great job with the world building and the characters. There is a lot of action and adventure that held my interest throughout. I wasn’t sure what to expect having never read anything by this author before, but I enjoyed reading this and shall look out for more from her in the future.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
