Relation Toward Books Ghost Phoenix (The Phoenix Institute #3)
Review courtesy of All Things Urban FantasyI always enjoy it when a book takes characters from history and puts a twist on them as GHOST PHOENIX does with various famous figures from different points in time posing as immortals living in modern times. One issue I had with the story is the use of ‘California slang’ like ‘stellar’. I adored the fact that Richard Plantagenet is an immortal surfer dude but it just seemed so jarring and weird for him to be using slang terms that I am not certain are actually used. Other than that Richard’s story of being prodigal son of the immortal court was interesting albeit the issues he had with the court didn’t seem to be as big of a deal as they were made to be.
Richard’s relationship with Marian is that of the insta-love variety at least on Richard’s part and while its not my favorite trope their relationship evolution was really sweet. Richard’s nickname for Marian upon first seeing her ghost-walking ability was absolutely adorable. I enjoyed Marian’s ability to ghost-walk and how she used it in her family business. I would have actually liked to have a whole book with her using her ability to phase through walls but alas this was not that book.
The story is fast paced starting out as a simple madcapped heist to find the body of Rasputin, only to become a more complex race against time with massive deadly roadblocks in store for Richard and Marian. The conflict with Rasputin was very entertaining and suspenseful. The way in which they incorporated Marian’s ability into the quest to get Rasputin’s DNA was genius. GHOST PHOENIX is a thrilling science fiction adventure story with a sweet romance that doesn’t overwhelm the exciting plot.

Originally published at Sci-Fi Romance QuarterlyI read The Phoenix Institute series all in one giant binge, and Ill admit that Ghost Phoenix is the point where it almost jumped the shark. But the romance between the hero and heroine was so much delicious fun that it pretty much jumped back.The evil dude in the previous book, Phoenix Legacy, went by the name Edward P. Genet V. At the end of the story we discover that his real name is Edward Plantagenet, briefly King Edward V of England.

Interesting. I once spent a week, on a pilgrimage of sorts, at Fontevraud Abbey. I guess you could say I'm a tad obsessed with Eleanor of Aquitaine. Have been ever since A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver. So this book intrigued me from the beginning. I took beaucoup classes on Medieval History to get close to my lady. Specialized in 500 to 1450 (because I truly believe the world ended in 1450 but we haven't figured it out yet). But the woman who was twice Queen, creator or at least sponsor
Richard Plantagenets Queen is wasting away from an illness and to save her, hell need help from Marian Doyle, the last in a long line of ghost-walkers in this exciting paranormal romance.Richard is a self-exiled prince and has no desire to return to the court, but with his brothers death hes the only one left to save the queen and Marian wants out of the family business but agrees to take on this one last job. The strong compelling characters grab the readers attention from the very beginning
I mostly liked this one. unlike the earlier books in the series, I kept falling asleep when reading late at night. there were several parts that dragged. and i wondered what border crossing they used from France to Germany because it must have been the only one that was manned.
