Phoenix Burn by Karina EspinosaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting Start To A Series
Octavia’s real name is Camila. Camila was killed 6 months ago and Octavia took her place, trying to find out how she survived her death and who killed her. She’s living pay check to pay check, hiding from family and friends as she’s terrified to bring her problems to their door.
Octavia ends up being torn between two different men and their friends, each seeming to want her to join them for reasons she can’t comprehend. She’s unsure and all she wants to know is what she is and why is she being hunted.
I liked the way the main character was wary which is the way it should be when your life has been turned upside down by violence. The way she was introduced to the supernatural world was not an easy one and she spent most of the book being scared and unsettled with short bursts of contentment.
The characters surrounding Octavia were interesting and as this is the first book in the series I look forward to getting to know them better. We are only treated to one point of view, which is Octavia’s and she only sees the very surface of the characters she interacts with.
The world building is on the small scale as part of the appeal of this book is Octavia finding out about the world in which she has landed. There is no information outside what small amounts she uncovers.
The book ended on an awful cliffhanger, and I really want to know what happens next. Thankfully that book is already out or I would be throwing my kindle across the room!
