Phoenix Spy (PAPERBACK)
Phoenix Spy (PAPERBACK)
Book 1 in the Brothers of Fire series.
Many deaths ago, phoenix shifter Dalmon Vecker created the Coven to protect paranormals during the witch hunts. Once again, he is running it instead of being king, or heir, or any of the other roles he’s played to safeguard the secrets he and his brothers keep. Now the Coven, and the paranormal community, are under threat as some witches want to reveal the truth to humans to enable them to seize control.
For Lucian Marwood, getting arrested by the Coven means that he’s safe. For the first time in five years, he can breathe without worrying that the man who’d promised him the world only to take it from him bit by bit will never know the depths of his hate. He doesn’t need the Coven to explain the extent of the damage he did. He knows, and he will tell them everything to make amends.
It's a pity the head spy thinks he’s a liar.
Dalmon may not remember the details of his previous lives, but seeing Lucian stirs something in his soul as if they have crossed paths before. But who he was and what happened isn’t something he has the luxury of investigating if he is going to stop the Shadow Board.

Phoenix Spy by TJ Nichols is the start of their new series, Brothers of Fire. For almost the first time for me reading their books, one of the main characters, Lucian, did not appeal to me in the beginning. Even though he was the victim of the real bad guy, it took me longer to forgive his transgressions than it did Dalmon, the phoenix shifter and eponymous spy. While this series is a spinoff to their Fated Mates series, it was beneficial for me to have read the previous series, as there is some overlap of characters. However, the book can stand on its own. The mystery of the Shadow Board and its impact on the Coven, which Dalmon is heading up in this life, is skillfully handled, with an ending I did not see coming. Lucian has some difficult decisions to make once he is accepted by the Coven members as not culpable for what happened when he was a victim. In between dealing with the bad guys, it was believable to watch both Lucian and Dalmon overcome their prejudices to find happiness as mates. I have a favorite among the phoenix shifter brothers but I think his book will be last. I received an ARC of this book from the author and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
As always from this author you get a great read. I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Dalmon and Lucian story brings us another wonder spin on the Familiar Mate world. It like Lucian jumped out of the pan, even knowing he only to head straight to the fire. We get Dalmon's phoenix fiery fury. Was Dalmon being to guarded!?! Even finding out the reasoning for why would Lucian be relieved for the Coven's arrest. Was Lucian willing to forfeit his magic?
The heat that was building between them was a battle that fate wasn't having. Only fighting the pull was getting harder but once the magic that was the connectio
n was gone they would have a whole new complications.
