My Thoughts
Curse of the Phoenix is a collection of the stories of three women who are each made into a phoenix by Osiris for different reasons. Ice is paying penance, Ari is under protection, and Sadie is the object of his affection. Each one dies a death over and over to save another for many years. Each one has a lesson to learn and a story to tell.
I loved each of their stories. I was most touched by Ice's story due and was most surprised at what happened to cause her to become a phoenix. I so enjoyed her falling in love with Turner and his son.
I give Curse of the Phoenix 4 hearts!

About the Books
Book One:
The Last Rising
After paying two millennia’s penance to Osiris,
world-weary Phoenix Ice has had enough. Saving souls without any hope for her
own redemption isn’t how she imagined spending eternity. Fed up, she decides
her next death will be her last. But when she sacrifices her own life for a
sexy Texan in a catastrophic plane crash, she has no idea the consequences will
be so great…or that she’ll end up back in his life for her next assignment.
Now that Turner Alcott has survived the worst, finding a
wife and mother for his son matters more than ever before. When the mysterious
Ice comes into his life, Turner knows she’s the one—but love is the last thing
Ice wants. If he wants to win her heart, Turner must teach Ice how to forgive
herself, and prove that love is the ultimate sacrifice.
Book Two:
The Last Awakening
For three hundred years, Arabella’s life has been one
meaningless death after another. In a cruel twist of fate, Osiris gifts the
phoenix her mortality and long-gone voodoo magic with a warning that she must
save her next soul within a week without using magic, or she’ll lose her power
forever.
Ex-soldier Greyson Meadows desperately wants to be freed
from the nightmares and guilt that haunt him. Confronted by a waif of a woman
who forces him to face the truth about his past, he runs fast and hard,
fighting the need to prove himself worthy despite his perceived failures.
When Ari becomes the target of her own magical blunder,
the weak will find strength and the strong will fall. One will have to give up
everything so the other can have peace, but will love’s magic withstand the
loss?
Book Three:
The Last Beginning
Though she’s always hated being a phoenix, Sadie has to
admit immortality has its advantages. She’s seen and done more in the last 150
years than she’d ever dreamed of, but she can’t get past the fact that Osiris
has done nothing but manipulate her and her fellow phoenixes.
Or that, when her last incarnation as a phoenix comes to a
fiery end, the fire slowly begins to consume her body.
Sun god Osiris is ashamed of his role as ruler of the
Underworld, but he unless he can figure out how to save Sadie, that’s exactly
where she’s going to end up. Permanently. Terrified he’s going to lose her, he
takes her on a hunt for The Book of the Dead, which is the only way he knows he
can save her—even if it means she’ll hate him forever.
