BLOG TOUR: Phoenix by Addison Kline

Title : Phoenix 

Author: Addison Kline 

Book 1 of the Phoenix Saga - The Phoenix

“Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” Or so the book of Corinthians tells us. 

Alanna Anderson does not agree with this sentiment. At the tender age of thirteen, Alanna believes that she has learned all she needs to know about love. Love is fleeting. Love is callous. Love is a lie. Growing up in the rough streets of South End, Pennsylvania, Alanna Anderson knows a thing or two about guarding her heart. Although there is a boy that vies for her attention, Alanna has no interest. She surrounds herself with the people she loves best, and immerses herself in her music and her love of literature. But one winter day, two boys forever changed Alanna’s life. One cemented Alanna’s belief that love was cruel. Another sought to prove her wrong.

Cris Serrano is new to town. Moving to the United States from Portugal, he is stepping into a world he in unfamiliar with. He is not fearful, though. Stepping forth with confidence, Cris is excited for what this new experience will hold, leaving behind a past he’d rather forget. Upon his first day at Henshaw Elementary, Cris meets Alanna Anderson and sparks fly. Their connection is one that will forever rewrite the map of their destinies – two supernovas colliding amidst a darkened sky. Not everyone believes that Alanna and Cris belong together, though. 

Damien Foley has loved Alanna Anderson from the day he first set eyes upon her. Though she ignores his advances, Damien has hope that Alanna will open her heart to him. But when Cris Serrano comes to town, everything changes. Alanna gazes at Cris the way Damien wishes she would look at him. Watching her fall in love in Cris was more than Damien’s mind could take. As Alanna and Cris are enveloped in the joy of young love, a storm is brewing. With Damien’s attraction to Alanna only intensifying with each unrequited sentiment, an obsession was born. 

Young love does not come easy in this gritty, romantic suspense novel. In the Phoenix Saga, they love hard, they fight hard, and the stakes are high as teens struggle to step over the echelon of adulthood.

REVIEW: 

Alanna Anderson is a girl in Elementary School. Damien Foley has loved her from the first time he saw her at school. Cris Serrano is the new kid in school. He is coming from Portugal. He and his family move in just kitty corner from Alanna's grandmother where she lives. Why does she live with her grandmother? Who is Nicholas? Who are Charlie, Teagen, Peck? This is a story that covers some dark aspects of life as a teenager in late Elementary or early Middle School. How did they (Charlie, Damien, Peck, and Teagen) meet? What is Alanna's relationship with Nicholas? The things Cris notices as soon as he gets to town and sees the interactions that each person has with Alanna is truly inspiring. To think that there are people out there that are that perceptive, that will help protect others at all costs, and not just Cris, but Peck too. What happens between Damien and Alanna? What happens between Cris and Alanna? Who does Cris live with in town once he moves there. Why did his family move there? What tragedies seem to bring all these random people together? How are their lives affected by each decision that someone in the group makes? You're going to have to read to find out. It took me a little bit to get into this book, but once I did, I could not put it down. Addison Kline does a great job putting darkness and light into books. I really enjoy reading what she writes.
