Stealing Phoenix

by Joss Stirling

What do you do when your soulmate turns out to be a thief? Steal her, of course.

Phoenix was raised within the Community, a gang of thieves with paranormal powers, under the control of a harsh master known as the Seer. The notion that there's a soul mate out there for every person with a paranormal gift is mere myth in Phoenix's world. That is until the Seer gives Phoenix the details of her next target, Yves Benedict. He's more than just her next victim, he is her destiny. To be together, Phoenix must break away from the Community but resistance against the Seer puts them both in mortal danger. Phoenix has never trusted anyone before, now it's time to trust Yves with her life.

The second book in Joss Stirling's thrilling Savants series, with a beautiful cover designed by illustrator Johanna Basford.

I enjoyed the book, but I can't find much to say about it...

I will however give you some points I felt important to mention:

1. Phoenix and Yves fell in love real quickly, and I mean quickly as in... one day quickly. However, the way the behaved toward one another, and with each other, kind of convinced me of their love despite the fact I am a known hater of insta-love, so if you're like me you might also find you'll like it!
Plus, they really are such a cute couple!!!

2. Phoenix, as a main character, is kind of useless at times. She has a cool and useful ability, but all the big villains she meets can fight it and they make it meaningless. I was like, what's the point of giving her such a cool ability is she can only use it for short time periods and can't use it at all in times of crisis?
Still, Phoenix is not a weak main character. Personality wise she's strong.

3. If you enjoyed Finding Sky, the first in the series, you'll definitely love this book because you can see Sky and Zed here, after months of being a couple, and you can also see the rest of the Benedicts. They way they work together was awesome to read about and I loved it!

4. The characters in this book suffer from mood swings. Honestly! One second they're happy, the next they're fighting, the third she's running away. What's with that?...
