Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is Zariya Chanji’s story, she is a woman who is half human and half naga, a supernatural snake warrior and she has just lost her father Vizol, the official reports say that it was an accident, but in her bones, Zariya is sure that there is something more to it and decides to be reckless and find out for herself what exactly happened. The book starts with her seducing a man who works for the MASC, or the Ministry Alliance of Supernatural Creatures and making an illegal copy of his ID card so that she can break into the building, however, things go a bit wrong and she ends up going to hospital with him, but in the rush, she leaves her purse behind in the ambulance and has to call in her best friend for a rescue and when she starts to act suspiciously, Zariya decides to follow her and see what is going on, but what she discovers is that her father has been leading a double life and that he actually works for an initiative within MASC too, but when she comes across the opportunity to find out more, she becomes embroiled within the secrets herself and lands a place on the Phoenix Team.

This is where things get really interesting as this box set follows Zariya and her teammates as they investigate Vizol’s death, as well as other missions, each book focuses on one member of the team and keys you into their past, present and possibly future. All the while, Zariya is trying to fit in and get to know her place within the team with little help from those around her, as she feels betrayed by them because they were all keeping secrets from her. As she pushes people away, all she really wants is the truth to be revealed in more ways than one, but the secrets which bury deeper into the Phoenix Team and MASC as a whole than anyone realised, including past mistakes and future consequences, but will the team and Zariya be able to live long enough to uncover them all?

This is a fantasy adventure with twists, turns and non-stop action which pulls you in and makes you want to read more, but will Zariya be able to fully integrate on the team, or will her differences of opinion, fear of further betrayal and the walls around her heart stop her?
