"Stealing Phoenix" by Joss Stirling

I have now finished "Stealing Phoenix". It was an amazing book, just as good as the first one. At the end of the book Yves and Phoenix meet the Seer and Yves sets up an amazing plan which traps the Seer and all of his connections to the Black Market. The Seer is then taken to prison and all of the other evil savants. This was all possible thanks to the rest of the Benedict family who helped Yves by showing up and doing exactly what they were supposed to do. But even after the Seer was arrested, his two sons took Phoenix and escaped. They took her back to the Community so that they could pack up their belongings and take all of their money, but Yves wouldn't let that happen so he lit the house on fire and expected the two sons of the Seer to run out with Phoenix but they stayed out of greed so that they could get all of their money. They left Phoenix at the second floor while they ran up to the attic to get their belongings. Phee had been shot by one of them in the leg to ensure that she wouldn't leave without them. Phee was about to die as there was so much smoke but she managed to find the strength to get up and make her way to a window where Yves and his family were waiting together they managed to lower her down from the window with their powers. In the end Phoenix was taken to a hospital and Yves asked her to marry him and she said yes. They both moved to California where Yves was studying and Phee decided to take a course in literature with Yves.

I really enjoyed this book and seeing Phee develop throughout the book. At first she couldn't trust anyone including herself but little by little she let herself care for Yves and let Yves and his family care for her.
