I wasn't always the bad guy... Once upon a time, I was simply Veronica Neill: daughter, sister, phoenix. But now I'm all alone, and life as the Falcon - an avian shifter and acquirer of fantastical things - is dangerously sexy and fun. Some might even call me a thief, just never to my face. But when my latest acquisition is stolen before I arrive and a gruesome murder is blamed on me, I've got a choice to make. I can get taken in by the hotter-than-hell agent sent by the Death Enforcement Agency and let them charge me with a crime I didn't commit, or wait for my bloodsucking client to realize I've failed at the job for which he hired me. I don't like either door, so I'll take the window instead. Time to track down the real killer and clear my name. If I don't solve this murder, and fast, then I might just be facing a lifetime in a grim prison. Or worse, a lifetime of servitude to the man who hired me, a man who's turning out to be more dangerous than I realized. And my kind lives for a very long time. If you loved Nalini Singh's Guild Hunters, Ilona Andrews's Hidden Legacy, or Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series then you will devour The Last Phoenix series. WINGS OF FIRE is the 1st book of 7 in The Last Phoenix series, a kickass urban fantasy containing fast-paced action, snarky humor, sexy grim reapers, horrific vampires, a hearty dose of swearing, and a healthy splash of slow-burn romance.
