Fireborn (Souls of Fire #1) by Keri Arthur Review!

     

   From New York Times bestselling author Keri Arthur comes a brand new series featuring heroine Emberly Pearson—a phoenix capable of taking on human form, and cursed with the ability to foresee death…Emberly has spent a good number of her many lives trying to save humans. So when her prophetic dreams reveal the death of Sam, a man she once loved, she does everything in her power to prevent that from happening. But in saving his life, she gets more than she bargained for. Sam is working undercover for the Paranormal Investigations Team, and those who are trying to murder him are actually humans infected by a plague-like virus, the Crimson Death—a by-product of a failed government experiment that attempted to identify the enzymes that make vampires immortal. Now, all those infected must be eliminated. But when Emberly’s boss is murdered and his irreplaceable research stolen, she needs to find the guilty party before she goes down in flames…

    I have read a few of Keri Arthur's books and absolutely loved them. Fireborn is no different! I loved the action, mystery, and the romance. Throughout the whole book you are questioning everything and coming up with theories of your own which makes the book come alive. This is why I love urban fantasy. There is so much passion and emotion that can be expressed through these books and it still amazes me how enchanting they are. I was captivated by the story and my emotions quickly became entangled in it also. I got so protective of Emberly. She is a fierce heroine that had me cheering for her throughout the whole book.  I love the fact that she is a Phoenix. I've only read one other book about a Phoenix and I'm starting to fall in love with them. Emberly by herself is a fierce character, but add in the Phoenix aspect and you have one badass character. I also loved the mystery behind what is going on with Sam, the other main character. It adds a little spice to the story. Let's not forget the other men in this book. Whew, what I would give to have one of them for myself. This is an adult book; however, it doesn't involve a lot of sex. Sure there are some scenes in the book, but the story is mostly about finding out more about the mysterious murders. I was left wanting the sequel ASAP. I cannot wait to see what else Keri has in store for Emberly and Sam! I highly recommend this book to urban fantasy lovers because this book it’s fabulous. I would also recommend it to anyone who is looking to dive into the adult fiction world. Fireborn is a great example of how awesome adult fiction can be. I give it five out of five stars!
