THE SECOND TO LAST BOOK IN READER ROUND UP

   Good afternoon my peeps, it is coming to and end pretty quickly , I have the second to last book in this years fall round up.  SHADOWING THE PHOENIX by Angel Nyx

                           BOOK BLURB

When the Phoenix is flying, Shadow comes out to play

Ainsley Bishop

I wasn't always a street kid, but when my home life got too dangerous, I chose the streets. They were safer. A whiz with computers, I quickly found my own way into the world of hacking.

That's when they came. STARR. They'd heard about Phoenix and wanted her. But there were a few requirements. I had to leave my old life behind. Fine by me.

A decade later, I have no regrets. I've used my skills, and the ones STARR taught me, to help a lot of people.

When I come across a trafficking ring online, I make it my mission to shut it down. If only Shadow wouldn't get in my way.

Kason Manning

Known only as 5H4D0W online, the moniker fits. I watch and wait in the shadows for the right time to pounce. I'm what we in the hacker world call a Grayhat. My methods aren't always ethical, but they get the job done.

When I stumbled onto a trafficking ring on the dark web, I made the snap decision to infiltrate them and take them down from the inside.

That's when I met her. Known only as PH03N1X, her fiery spirit called to me. But she has secrets she won't share, ones I fear will burn the world down around me. But then, maybe that was what I needed—to rise from the ashes renewed.

                           MY REVIEW 

   Ainsley hasn't always had a great life from the beginning. Her home life became dangerous and living on the street was no better. Until the day she figured out that she was great with computers and hacking. Then STARR came into the picture and wanted her, the only thing that she had to do was leave her old life behind. Which she was willing to do.  Her unique talents help bring down drug rings and human trafficking ring around the world.  One day while hunting through the dark web she meets shadow another hacker and also another company that is bringing down  the traffickers . When they meet things start to spark up but will they be able to bring down the ring and make it out alive. 

  Ainsley and Kason are a hot couple . They both feel like they are outsiders and both have been in not so good relationships and past lives . Ainsley is a strong willed woman who has been through so much in her life . She doesn't want other young women and children to go through the same thing as she did. She is also sassy and free spirited. She has intrigued Kason in so many ways. Kason is an ex sniper who hasn't had the best child hood either and he is working hard to stop what happened to him happen to others . They both are working on the same side when it comes to stopping the enemy. The characters are very well written and you feel for them through out the story.

   This is one of those stories that has some great characters that are well written and complex. The author takes us on an adventure that has us going down a few dark areas of the web.  There is also a lot of romantic shenanigans that go on through out this book. I did wish the author would of dived more into the whole trafficking thing and them bringing them to an end and maybe just a little less of the bed room shenanigans that when on.  Over all I did enjoy this book and if you like suspense and romantic times this book will be great for fall reading list
