Blurb:
Legend says a
phoenix will rise again—but all that remains of the immortal bird are ashes and
whispered fairy tales...
Lyra Adams enjoys her job as a rare books dealer, but when an angry wizard barges into her store and demands she fork over a unique tome from the antiquities section, she's not about to let him get away with grand larceny without a fight.
Except it's suddenly very difficult to defend her wares, seeing as the wizard turned her into some kind of weird red bird by flinging a handful of ashes in her face.
Her only hope of returning to her normal, human self lies in the hands of the one man she never wanted to see again: her lying, stealing, sorcerous scumbag ex, James Pierce. The same light-fingered thief who tried to steal that very same tome from her a few days before.
She knows she can’t trust James with her heart or her inventory. Can she trust him to turn her back?

My review:
Ashes of the Phoenix by Jess Haines is a short but terrific
start to a wonderful new series. Bookseller Lyra Adams starts the story as human but is soon transformed
into a Phoenix. This story tells of her transformation and start to her new
life as a legendary being. I can’t say much without giving spoilers but I can
say I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to more.
