I always knew I was different. I’d thought it had to be hidden - to stay a secret. I didn’t know my secret would become the key to my survival. Turning eighteen and getting accepted into college brings me everything I need to escape from the nightmares of my past but I could never have imagined my nightmares - and dreams - were just beginning. Finding myself thrown into a world of fantasy, politics, friendships, and rules that are nearly impossible to understand, I feel like I’m drowning in a world of shifters I never knew existed. As I struggle to find my place and prevent my nightmares from tearing me apart, I find myself surrounded by an unusual group of sexy men. With Hiro, Killian, Theo, Damien, and Ryder I’m trying to become the woman I’ve always wanted to be, if my past, and my future, will let me.*Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse that some readers may find triggering. This book also contains some m/m themes.*

Delightful

I love a great series that is completely written. I speed read excellent books and this is going to be an excellent series. As always, I do not tell the story of the book, the book does that! I am writing this while I am reading the third book and it is wonderful. Every character is so clearly written that you love them immediately and care about them all. I am trying not to gobble them up, but oh they are so sexy and incredibly well written it is hard to slow down. So glad I found these writers. Must read series for paranormal, shifter, fantasy, supernatural lovers.

This series of books isn't complete yet. There are only 3 books so far and the next one is coming soon! This is a reverse harem series 17+. This series is well written, it has a good storyline and the characters are developed and well thought out. It's about a young lady named Nix who has had a horrible and abusive life. I don't want to give away any of the story, but she meets quite an exceptional group of guys who are different from your normal shifter series. And oh my gosh! All I can say is Wow, hot, hot, hot!!! This series is smoking, make you squirm sexy. I love all of the books in the Phoenix Rising Series and cannot wait for the next one to be released. This is one of the hottest reverse harem series that I've read thus far and if you like hot and sexy then you'll love these!

Born of Embers-- cliffhanger, may as well get the next book 2 (worth it!)

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

Loved the opening, and intriguing opening chapters of this book (which I read in Amazon's "Look Inside" feature which convinced me to make the purchase). A terrific plot, well developed characters, excellent PoV segues, and good writing, but be prepared for an abrupt-right-in-the-middle-of-the-action ending. I'll definitely read on, as the author offers a nice, lengthy story for a reasonable price, but be prepared to need the next book right away to continue the story.

Cliffhanger!

The dreaded cliffhanger was the only thing I didn't like about this book! The characters were great, the romance was mixed with enough mystery and suspense to make it good. But I hate cliffhangers!

I remember reading this when it first came out and I am still so in love with this story! This is probably my favorite shifter series out there and the character/relationship development are just phenomenal. It has such an element of "real" that sucks you in and makes you never want to leave. Love. This. Series!

Amazing start to the series. Fast paced with lots of questions to be answered. Unique shifter types and each of they guys has a unique personality.

Not your normal shifter world

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

One of the things that appealed to me about the Phoenix Rising series was the authors' approach to mythological shifters. So many shifter books tackle the "normal" animal forms, and it sounded pretty interesting to get some variety.

I think Wylde and Arthurs do a pretty good job at setting this up in book one. Sometimes I was a little frustrated at not knowing as much as I would like about how their shifters worked, how their world worked, but I think it's important to remember that Nix (MC) is totally new to this world.

Yes, her POV is only one of several that we get, but it's still, principally, HER story, in my humble opinion. It makes sense that we'd be sharing her ignorance. Overall, this really didn't bother me. I've read books where the authors immediately narrate the foundation of world-building and others where we discover it with the characters, like Nix. I don't really have a strict preference on what's better.

The difference "races" within their shifter world as well as the divide between the normal shifters and mythologicals was an interesting take. I think it gives a lot of room for the conflicts to evolve beyond just Nix and her boys. There's a lot of room here for the story to grow as Nix and her guys go against the system that's been in place for so long.

I liked Nix. She's a bit inconsistent, finding her strength/courage in random spurts, but I think that may have something to do with all of the trauma she's experienced. Her life was inconsistent; in and out of foster care, living in moments of peace and fear between her father's abuse...I'd be more surprised if she was a consistently strong character because she's had to deal with so much, virtually alone.

One thing I'll definitely stand by is that we are seeing the tropes that tend to populate a lot of RH books as far as the guys are concerned: a flirt, the "geek", the kinkier one, the care-giver. While it would have been a bit more intriguing to get something different, I can't say that I didn't still enjoy Wylde and Arthurs' characters.

Generally, I liked Born of Embers. I DID feel a little cheated when the book ended on such a cliffhanger (right in the middle of action), but it did its job (I bought the next book).

Not enough, when's book 2?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

A really good read. The approach for the dark stuff is really good, though some people might find it a little bit of a sensitive area, I thought the author did a really good job of being respectful whilst not shying away from some of the grittier parts of the main characters life. I can't wait for the next one! :D

Great start to the series, I’m going to go read book 2 now

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

It’s a relief to have a series where you, the reader, know exactly what the mystery character is rather than half thought out clues which are actually really obvious. I’ve seen some on the the reviews saying that they didn’t feel like the character acted like she’d suffered but everyone’s different and from what I’ve read so far, the phoenix’s need for contact will probably break down some of those barriers.

This is a really good read, the author made the heroin easy to like and want to follow her story. I particularly liked that the POV's actually moved the story along not the usual repetition. All the characters have a story which makes for an exciting delve into book 2.

Definitely 5 stars.

an excellent start to a great series!

Rereading this again while waiting for book 6 to come out (which I'm super excited about!) I love how the MC is tough and feisty and each of her men are distinct and easy to distinguish, which I sometimes have trouble in recognising esp. when dealing with a lot of characters from the get go. The only qualm I had about was regarding the MC's past. While it is dark and tough to see, I would've thought there would've been more of an emphasis on how the MC works over her issues and learns to trust her men rather than just minor consequences like flinching etc. My only qualm but overall a good read!

Not the Best, not the Worst

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2019

Meh

The story and length were halfway decent, the ideas pretty good. It dragged a little in places, but overall flowed nicely. However, the characters were one-dimensional and built of overused clichés. The thing that bugged me the most is that the MC went through some horrific stuff in her past, and yet aside from some token flinches, acts like nothing happened. No PTSD, no depression, nothing. I'm not saying that I WANT them in an MC, but it would have made the character more believable and worth an emotional investment.

There were also some spelling and grammar mistakes, and the thing was riddled with pop culture references which - in my opinion - both dates a story and illustrates lazy writing.
