Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season
An unsolved murder. A shadowy nemesis. A team of supernatural heroes determined to find the truth.
Zariya Chanji will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind her father's murder—even break into the headquarters of one of the most powerful organizations in the world—MASC, the Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures. But what she discovers instead is a web of secrets tying her more tightly to MASC than she ever thought possible.
Zariya agrees to join one of MASC's covert Special Forces teams, as it's the only way to secure a chance at revenge against the bastards that killed her father. But life on Phoenix Team may be more than Zariya bargained for—from her delectable vampire commander, to her four deadly teammates who have plenty of demons of their own. The deeper she gets, the more dangers lurk in the shadows, and the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. The truth will change everything—if Zariya can stay alive long enough to find it.
Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team is the complete first season of a SERIALIZED urban fantasy tale, perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Lindsay Hall, and B.R. Kingsolver!

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season
(Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team #1-6)
by Claire Luana
This is an awesome set of short books. I don't think I would like them individually as much because some were cliffhangers, or not complete stories. But as a complete set, it was great!
A half human, half nagu gal wants answers as to how her dad died. What she finds changes her whole life! She ends up joining a team of supernatural that keep other supernaturals under control.
These are their adventures. Great characters, exciting situations, and lots of supernatural creatures!

Claire Luana has another winner with the Mythical Alliance Phoenix Team. Originally released in a series of six episodes, this fantasy adventure feels like Agents of Shield with mythological creatures with a great cast and kept me engaged from start to finish.
The story has a very fast pace, both in the individual episodes and the overall arc. Each episode has its own standalone story, while building the overall plot, ending in the final episode, with lots of twists and turns, building to an exciting climax. The stories never felt stale or old, there was enough to make each section stand on their own. The mood does change as the stories continue, but it’s serious without being too dark. The various locations made me feel like I was on this grand adventure, with great world building on various myths, all connected to our world, and I love the twists that Luana gave to them to make them unique. The prose is easy to read and I read each episode in just a few hours time.
I love the characters. We mainly follow Zariya and Konstantin, as Zariya (a half naga) is looking for clues in how her dad was killed, while discovering about his life leading mysterious Veil Team. It’s not long before she’s caught up into the Phoenix team and the rest of their members, led by Konstantin (a vampire). While these two are the main PoVs in the series, with a big focus of their blooming romance (which was done well with some fun banter), the other four members get their chance in the spotlight. I love their dynamics and their backstories, giving the story added depth. I also love the supporting cast with their own quirks and adds to the story.
The paperback is well formatted, with black and white covers of the original serials bridging each section, with the header changing with each episode. I love how the ending ties up most of the loose ends, leaving enough for the next Mythical Alliance series!

Book 1-6
I've really enjoyed this series.
Zariya is half Nagu, half human. She is devastated at the death of her father and puts her life on hold to find answers, leading her to a secret agency. Together with Phoenix Team, she helps uncover and eliminate supe underworld operations. Each book deals with its own operation, but they do follow on from each.
The world building was really well explained and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the interactions between the team as they deal with the supe criminals, much to the annoyance of their team leader.
I loved the writing style, the story is concise, well written and not dragged out. There's nothing worse than having scenes go on for far longer than they need to. This style really helped me stay hooked on the storyline, wanting to jump into the next book straight away. This series is full of action, humour, banter, suspense and a whole lot of twists and turns.
Phoenix Team One: Selected
This is an amazing start to the series. I was hooked from the first page, and I really enjoyed the world building which is a human world that knows about different supe species.
Zariya is devastated after the death of her father and refuses to believe is was an accident. Her curiosity leads her to Veil Force, a secret supe special forces agency.
Zariya is strong, stubborn, highly trained by her father and also refuses to give up. The other characters are so far really interesting and I can't wait to find out more about them.
The world building was explained really well.
Phoenix Team Two: Protected
Book 2 continues where book 1 left off. Zariya has now joined the Phoenix team and is being sent on her first mission. Konstantin is now her boss, and she is still fighting her attraction to him, and she still hasn't told him about her fathers help.
This book is full of action as the team takes on missions and learn to work together. Zariya is slowly building bridges with her best friends and making new friends with her team, although she lacks patience and is potentially putting her team at risk with her actions, it all adds to the action and suspense of the story.
There is a cliffhanger at the end.
Phoenix Team Three: Captured
Book 3 continues the series and is another action packed story.
Konstantin and Daevin have followed Zariya through the portal and have stumbled into an enemy base. Things don't quite go to plan and a rescue mission is required.
I really enjoy the writing of the world building in this series, it’s not too complicated to understand but it still pulls me into the story.
The banter and friendships in the group bring some humour into the story and also helps understand the teams personalities better.
The twist at the end was partly unexpected and I can't wait to see what the Phoenix Team do with the information.
Phoenix Team Four:Trafficked
This was another great book in the series. Another day, another mission for Phoenix Team. This time they are trying to take down a supe trafficking location, with Zariya going in undercover.
I really enjoy the concise style of writing for fight scenes, nothing is dragged out, its dealt with so the story can move on.
There are a few twists in this book, the agency mole is finally revealed and also someone from Konstantin's past makes an appearance to throw a spanner in the works.
Phoenix Team Five: Revealed
Continuing on from book 4, the team follow Konstantin to the supe underworld (DRC) and to his master. What they find is a lawless society held together with strict punishments. Just when the team think they've found the answers, more are revealed.
Again this book is full of action, great characters and a continuing storyline that just keeps adding twists and keeps you in suspense. If you enjoyed the previous books, you will enjoy this one too.
Phoenix Team Six: Betrayed
Book 6 starts to bring all the previous missions and intelligence together, leading to a stand off as each side stands their ground.
The mole is finally revealed to the other teams and Rex returns to the home he abandoned in order to try and help his team.
Again, this book is full of action, but also shows how far the team has bonded. They pull in every resource they can in order to expose the Leviathan network.
I loved the ending and the epilogue, it was perfect for the Phoenix Team series.
There is a great introduction to the next series for Drago Team.

Ok I started this on audio and it didn’t say it was a 6 book series. Can I just start by saying the narrator is freaking incredible!!! She transitions from characters and accents so seamlessly. She made the books so good. Here my issue with it. I only made it through book 4. The stories are so fast that there’s not a lot of character building. It felt like it went from one disaster to another super fast. Over and over and over. By the time I made it to book 5 I was burned out. Here’s the other problem I had with it. The main love interest was Zariya and Konstantin. Ok great but then in every book each Phoenix member has his own love interest. It was an OVERLOAD of characters from the very first book. It would have been so much better if each book was a little longer (can’t believe I said that) and the Phoenix members could actually build a relationship with the reader and their love interest instead of feeling like a side note. Then jump into action after action, near death after near death can be a little exhausting. So I stopped reading the book. Even though I don’t enjoyed it and I enjoyed the world I just didn’t feel any connection with the characters or a need to finish the series. Maybe I will in a little bit…..

Phew, this was one heck of a fantasy series, strap yourself in for some awesome sauce characters and a really interesting and vibrant world. I was honestly hooked from the first to the last.
The books follow Zariya, a half-human, half Naga (some sort of snake supe) badass who is so sassy and such a fun character to read. In the first book, she is left reeling from the death of her father, believing that there was something suspicious about it, in order to find out the truth she joins a supe special forces called Veil Force and there her journey begins, becoming part of the Phoenix team. There she meets Konstantin, her boss and someone who she feels an irresistible attraction towards and various other awesome badass supes, together they bounce from one problem to the next, kicking all the butt and taking all the names.
I really loved the vibe of these stories, as I’ve said Zariya is a sassy and screams an easy confidence that oozes off the page and it is impossible not to feel an instant connection with her. I loved, loved, loved the banter throughout these stories, in some other series I’ve found that the banter between characters can feel forced and unnatural but Luana nails it. She also nailed drawing the reader into the world and making it feel stupidly real. Totally finished this book believing that Veil Force was real and that I could hop, skip and jump out the front door and go sign myself up for the Phoenix Team banter at the ready and all ready for the doe eyes to send Konstantin’s way. I was very gutted when it all came to an end, to be honest, I felt like they were people I’d actually met, real-life friends that I wouldn’t be able to see anymore and it was really gutting for me. This says a lot about Luana’s writing and real she makes all of her characters feel.
I would definitely recommend this series, it's now up there as one of my favourite series and I think I’m definitely going to read it again because I feel like a read it a bit fast in a desperate bid to find out what happens next hehe. My bad. You should give this series a go though, it has action, mystery, intrigue, romance, and fantasy which in my opinion are all the best things so you can’t go wrong really, can you? Go on, give it a read, you know you want to.

This is Zariya Chanji’s story, she is a woman who is half human and half naga, a supernatural snake warrior and she has just lost her father Vizol, the official reports say that it was an accident, but in her bones, Zariya is sure that there is something more to it and decides to be reckless and find out for herself what exactly happened. The book starts with her seducing a man who works for the MASC, or the Ministry Alliance of Supernatural Creatures and making an illegal copy of his ID card so that she can break into the building, however, things go a bit wrong and she ends up going to hospital with him, but in the rush, she leaves her purse behind in the ambulance and has to call in her best friend for a rescue and when she starts to act suspiciously, Zariya decides to follow her and see what is going on, but what she discovers is that her father has been leading a double life and that he actually works for an initiative within MASC too, but when she comes across the opportunity to find out more, she becomes embroiled within the secrets herself and lands a place on the Phoenix Team.
This is where things get really interesting as this box set follows Zariya and her teammates as they investigate Vizol’s death, as well as other missions, each book focuses on one member of the team and keys you into their past, present and possibly future. All the while, Zariya is trying to fit in and get to know her place within the team with little help from those around her, as she feels betrayed by them because they were all keeping secrets from her. As she pushes people away, all she really wants is the truth to be revealed in more ways than one, but the secrets which bury deeper into the Phoenix Team and MASC as a whole than anyone realised, including past mistakes and future consequences, but will the team and Zariya be able to live long enough to uncover them all?
This is a fantasy adventure with twists, turns and non-stop action which pulls you in and makes you want to read more, but will Zariya be able to fully integrate on the team, or will her differences of opinion, fear of further betrayal and the walls around her heart stop her?

“Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team” by Claire Luana is a highly original urban fantasy series, whose FMC is the most original and coolest supernatural UF character to date, a hybrid human/naga (Zariya Chanji). At start of the series Zariya, who is convinced her own father has been assassinated and not a victim so some random accident as the official version goes, decides to launch her own investigation. Following the clues, she crosses the path of the Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures (MASC for short), an organization that polices the lives of all supernaturals. From Zariya’s initial suspicions about the organization, being in fact responsible for her father’s death, through her eventually join in until the highly satisfying closure. Zariya’s adventures with MASC are a source of ongoing entertainment. The series has an episodical format, in which each book is part on an ongoing story-arc that extent though all the ‘episodes’, every installment (with an average of ~120 pages) guarantees as fast reading, and is enjoyable in the way your favourite TV series are, and the Boxset offers the opportunity to binge-read with only occasional breaks to get something to drink now and then (breaks better to be schedule at the end of each individual book to enjoy the cliff-hangers to their fullest 😊)
This is a fast a fast-paced and action-packed series that intermixed paranormal fantasy and paramilitary elements with some romance into an interesting on-going plot that extents coherently throughout the various installments in the series. The world building is solid and appealing with reminiscent of NYC. The MC is original and very likeable, and the secondary characters enjoyable and well developed. Some parts of the story are purposely let in the shadows to be surely be explained in future installments, to better suit the pace of the story (but you don’t worry about that, boxset remember 😉)
This boxset includes all six installments in the Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team series: Selected (1), Protected (2), Captured (3), Trafficked (4), Revealed (5) and Betrayed (6).

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season (Mythical Alliance #1-6) by Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars
I have read a fee books by this author and I simply loved then I even read this story in one sitting (In 1 day) but it does have a cliffhanger. The plot was awesome and different and the characters are well written. I just loved their quirkiness.
We follow Zariya Chanji, and she is convinced her father was murdered and she will stop at nothing to uncover the truth--even if she must break into the headquarters of one of the most powerful organizations in the world. MASC, the Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures, governs the lives of supes like herself, and she knows they had a hand in covering up her father's murder.
She does not understand, why they are covering his death up?
After breaking int the MASC headquarters she is offered to join one of the covert Special Forces teams, as it's the only way to secure a chance at revenge against the bastards that killed her father. But life on Phoenix Team may be more than Zariya bargained for and the deeper she gets, the more dangers lurk in the shadows, and the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. Throw in a sexy vampire and her four deadly demons and what could a girl ask for…
Will Zariys like the truth when she learns it? Will she stay alive long enough to learn the truth? And what is going on with her sexy vampire?
You will need to read this complete season to find out what happens…

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season (Mythical Alliance #1 – 6) by Claire Luana contains all six books in this superb urban fantasy series. Mythical Alliance is a serialized series which consists of six novella length instalments full of all the paranormal action, adventure, mystery, danger, drama, tension, and intrigue you could want. With plenty of originality, incredible world building, and quirky paranormal beings (supes), this series not only makes for excellent reading- I think it would also translate well onto the small screen, and that’s one television series I would love to see.
What is the Mythical Alliance, who are the members of Phoenix Team, and just what do they get up to? This series is definitely worth the read to find out.
The series contains:
-Phoenix Team One: Selected (Book #1)
-Phoenix Team Two: Protected (Book #2)
-Phoenix Team Three: Captured (Book #3)
-Phoenix Team Four: Trafficked (Book #4)
-Phoenix Revealed (Book #5)
-Phoenix Betrayed (Book #6)
A must read for all Urban Fantasy fans!
Thank you, Claire Luana!

This is one series you do not want to miss and having the first six books, or the complete first season in this case, is a perfect way to devour this gem of a series. I was hooked right away with the detail in these novels. They make you feel as if you are right there with the Phoenix Team and the characters as they traverse and manage to make it through this inventive and fast paced world that Claire Luana has woven masterfully. This series kicks off with a woman who is facing the death of her father and figuring out this world she is thrust into. Nothing is what she has believed it to be her whole life and she is forced to make sense of it fast. The adventure and the intrigue is really fast paced and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat as they try figuring out what could possibly come next. Every book builds perfectly on the previous and this makes you feel as if you are in the thick of it. I am anxious to see what may come next!

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana is made up of the 6 books of this series. It follows Zariya, a powerful half naga, on her quest to find out who is responsible for the death of her father. However, she doesn’t expect to find out her father was leading a double life, a life that she is drawn into as a member of the Phoenix Team, part of an elite secret organisation challenged with maintaining the safety if supes. As part of the elite team she must get to know her fellow team mates, track down those who betrayed her father and learn how to be a phantom. This series is really enjoyable, each book is a different mission so can be read on their own but I liked having them all together as it was so much easier to jump into the next story. As the books progress you get to know more about the other members of Phoenix Team and learn their stories. I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of fantasy.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana
This is the first series I've read by Luana. Phoenix Team is a great way to start for new readers. You have 6 books that are all amazing!
Zariya is the daughter of one of the Veil Force's founders. She loses her father and soon learns her whole life is about to be turned upside down. The quote I chose for Zariya is: “It was a… misunderstanding. But do you think you could work with me on finding a way around his moves?”
Konstantin, a commander for Veil Force, finds himself in a tough situation. He finds that he cares more for Zariya than he should. Can he finally give into the little voice in his head? The quote I chose for Konstantin is: “I care about everyone here. Veil Force… what your father built here… we’re a family. We take care of our own.”
Highly recommended for Fantasy Paranormal lovers.

This was a fast moving series, and I had already read the first book and was thrilled to see them all boxed up. Each one could I guess be read as a stand alone but I don't recommend that because there is a story building in each one and not having all of them wouldn't give you the same effect as reading them all.
I've read a few other books by this author and although the genres are not my favorites she does an amazing job at holding me hostage while reading them. Every short story in this set was full of everything you could want, and the storylines were unique and fun and dangerous and edge of your seat kind of reading.
I highly recommend picking this series up, I love this author and so far she has never disappointed me in any book I choose to read from her. She is on my very short list of authors in these genres that I always one click because she does them so well.

5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: the Complete Season by Claire Luana. They are stories that include mystery, intrigue, action, and danger. I found them hard to put down. I was turning pages to find out what happens next. I loved the character of Zariya Chanji. She is intelligent, determined, and resourceful. She is investigating her father’s death. What will she find? What does the future hold for her? Read this book to find out. The author does an amazing job of making the stories and the characters come alive. Some are helpful to Zariya and those with their motives. These stories had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I found myself lost in the pages of the stories and emersed in what happens to Zariya and how it all turns out. Don’t miss out on stories that are exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend it.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana is a boxed set of 6 urban fantasy paranormal goodies. Claire has found a winner with this original fantasy series that is fast paced. The world building is carefully crafted as are the characters who are well developed and interesting. It is full of every kind of mythical creature and action and suspense. I enjoy Claire’s writing and she is becoming one of my go to authors. It is a boxed set of short stories, but it does not take away anything from the stories and the plots are solid, in fact it leaves you wanting more.
The series starts with our heroine who has just discovered that everything she thought she knew has been turned on its head with the death of her father and a strange new world. And so, the journey begins.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire has adventure, romance as well as suspense. Each book takes you on a journey that you don’t ever want to miss.
It was about Zariya Chanji who agreed to join MASC’s force. She had to prove that she was capable enough to find the killer and take on any mission that came her way. With five other teammates who didn’t know the first thing about her. She was to win their trust in order to succeed in the missions. She will stop at nothing to avenge her father.
This book had so many twists and turns. Each chapter had you at the edge of your seat. The adventure was never-ending. The romance was forever brewing. Each book had you looking deeply at each character in a different light. It has you questioning what is true and what is an allusion. The books were so much fun to read and to have all the books out at the same time is really satisfying for a quick reader.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana is a fantastically original series by one an author that has quickly become one of my favourite fantasy authors. And rightfully so. This series is absolutely amazing from start to finish. All six episodes I found to be riveting. Once I started one I couldn’t stop reading until it was finished and I wanted nothing more than to dive right into the next book.
The books are exciting and fast paced. I was hooked right from the word go. The author has created such an original story and you just want to know more. The characters are interesting and so well developed throughout the course of the series. You really feel like you become invested in their journey.
I cannot recommend this series - or this author - enough. You should definitely read this series today!

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: the Complete Season by Claire Luana. This is such a good, fast paced paranormal romance series. Each book is so fast paced and keep you turning the pages as quick as you can. Its set as 6 episodes that can be read as a standalone but it is much better understood if you read each one. They are the stories of Zariya Chanji who is trying as hard as she can to solve his father's murder along with his friend Konstantin who is a vampire. Zariya's father leads the Veil Team who is as mysterious as it sounds. During all this searching there is a romance blossoming between Zariya and Chanji. Along with the budding romance you will encounter danger, paranormal action, mystery, drama, and mystery. Its a fun fast paced series full of short stories that will keep you on your feet. You will be turning pages late into the night.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luna is an amazing fast paced series of Sci-Fi/fantasy short stories. Imagine a world where humans coexist with creatures like demons, fae, vampires, shape shifters, etc. There would be a need for something like the MASC (Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures) to make sure everyone is being treated fairly and the teams can come to help those in need! Each short story centers on a mission the team of 6 go to search for or help out creatures and you will want to keep reading to the end. The characters that make up the team and what they are capable of doing cements each of them as a integral member of the team. I really love the whole series of books.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana. Wow just wow I’m finding it hard to find the words on how good this was. The author really has a way with words and creative story worlds. I completely fell into this story so easily which surprised me a bit because sometimes I find it hard to focus with this genre but that definitely wasn’t a problem here, I found myself completely lost in it’s pages and what an adventure it was to be on. The characters are complex and well developed. This set is full to the brims with action, mystery and so much more. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Excited to see where this author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

Mythical Alliance is six books of fantastic fantasy by Claire Luana. This book is great because we get a complete story that is broken down in six shorter reads. This is not my first book by Ms. Luana, but it is my new favorite. I enjoyed the storyline, it was full of action, adventure and mystery. I was hooked through the whole series. The characters and world building is so descriptive, it make you feel like you are there next to Zariya, helping to solve the mystery of her father’s death. The story flowed smoothly and the witty banter had me laughing out loud. If you love a good paranormal fantasy, this is a great book for you.

I was hesitant about this one at first. It's challenging to write about mythical creatures being super heroes without it coming off as hammy or cliché, but Mythical Alliance gets it just right. I read the first book, Phoenix Selected, and I enjoyed getting to know Zariya, the half human, half naga hybrid, and Konstantin Bauer, the mysterious vampire. They were great as individuals and had great chemistry together. The world building was also spot on. The different mythical creatures, or supes, were integrated into the modern world believably, and each race was described as if they naturally belonged to the plot and setting. I highly recommend this series. It's well written and is a fantastic example of great story telling.

This serie is awesome!!!
In a world where humans live together with supes (short for supernaturals) a half breed girl discovers his dad had a secret life when he dies.
In hopes to find the true behind what happened, Zariya get's in way over her head and joins is dad old team in fighting international supe criminals.
I loved everything in this books, story, locations, characters, writing style, I mean everything!
Each book is an independent mission, usually focused on one of the team members, but it is suppose to be read in order and, if you can, in one go, so this package deal is the one to grab if you like this kind of stories.
You will not be disappointed.
And good news. This will not end here! The big mastermind is still out there!

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luna was an incredible series! I was completely enthralled from the first book. I was skeptical the first few chapters, but then it picked up the pace and I was hooked. I absolutely loved the characters in this novel, and Phoenix Team in general. This was one of the most immersive paranormal series I've ever read. I was literally blown away. From the action, the humor, the suspense, and the romance. This novel has a little bit of everything for everyone. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future! And I hope she writes more books from the characters in this series. I'm not ready to leave the world Luna created yet!

Claire Luana has another winner with the Mythical Alliance Phoenix Team. This fantasy adventure feels like you're part of it, with mythological creatures with a great cast and kept me engaged from start to finish. While this is a complete series, it is composed of individual "episodes" or novellas to read. Each one can be read as a standalone, but since this is the complete set no need. Once you finish one episode, you start reading the next, which is really awesome because you don't have to wait for the next episode to come out. Claire Luana is wonderful and talented author with a vivid imagination that just pulls you, the reader, right in.

This is the first season of the Phoenix Team and holds six books. This was a great series to read with the characters of Zariya and Konstantin being mostly the main ones throughout. Zariya is facing the death of her father and trying to figure out the world she is thrown into. She joins MASC and must prove that she is able to find the killer but also work with five other teammates and none of them know anything about each other. This is a fast-paced series and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It harbors quite a few mythical creatures with plenty of action and adventure throughout.

Claire Luana is an author that I will not be disappointed when I pick her books to read. This box set it no different. There is action and adventure waiting inside the covers of the books. With this box set each book has its own story but the story is built with each book before it. The characters make the original stories moving. The set has each book building on the previous book. It is a fast pace read. You will not want to put it down until you have completed the entire box set. I highly recommend this box set for all the action and adventure readers out there.

I cannot say enough about this series. This was funny, action packed and amazing. The word building was fantastic and the characters are so fully developed. There’s so many players in this series. The Phantom team. Seriously. This was one of the BEST series of books I’ve ever read. I loved every single thing about them. There are 6 books and 6 members on the team. Each book is important and YOU MUST READ THEM IN ORDER. Please. Do yourself a favor and just follow along. AMAZING. Claire Luana- you’re brilliant!
