Phoenix
I am a monster, a beast born from the fiery pits of the Underworld. I am an immortal creature meant to purge the plague of humanity from the world we know. I have existed before most remember, and I shall persist long beyond the measurement of recorded time. I am fury; I am fate; I am flames.
Until her--the female whose skill as a thief rivals my own. She is clever, seductive, and cunning. But, most importantly -- she is mine.
Marisa
My life may not have been a fairytale, but a smart woman finds a way to survive in this cruel world. I may be a thief, a con artist, a fraud; but if I am unsavory it is only because I was made this way. I have carved out a nice little gig for myself--find a mark, lure them in, and take what I need before disappearing into the anonymity of the thousands who populate this city.
That is until him.
Phoenix is the most obnoxiously attractive man I have ever met. After he steals a payday right out from under my nose, we make a deal--whoever is able to steal the next item wins. I have no intention of losing, especially not when more than just money is on the line.
If you’re a fan of paranormal romance with a dark and thrilling mafia twist, FLAMES is definitely one to add to your reading list. What makes this novel stand out is how it blends mythical elements from Slavic folklore with the intense and dangerous world of organized crime. The protagonist Phoenix, described as a monstrous immortal born from the Underworld’s fiery depths, embodies rage and fate—a compelling anti-hero figure. Meanwhile, Marisa provides a grounded, street-smart contrast as a skilled thief fighting for survival, making their dynamic believable and electrifying. What caught my attention most is the interplay of power and vulnerability in their relationship. The trope of "monster x mortal" often reveals how two very different beings navigate danger, trust, and attraction, but here it’s amplified by the mafia backdrop and the high stakes around their rivalry and alliance. The challenge of stealing from each other adds a unique competitive edge to their story—it's not just about love or survival but about winning a dangerous game where more than just money is at risk. From a reader’s perspective, I found the inclusion of "touch my mate and get torched" to be a bold and intriguing element that sets the tone for intense encounters. Plus, the nod to specific tastes like "cinnamon whiskey flavored" details adds a sensory layer to the narrative. Such details enhance immersion, making characters feel vivid and scenes more memorable. For anyone interested in getting involved early, the availability of ARC (Advance Reading Copy) and PR sign-ups until May 15th offers a fantastic chance to engage with the author and community before the official release. Pre-ordering at the introductory price of $0.99 also makes it accessible for readers curious about a fresh take on monster romance within a mafia setting. Overall, FLAMES promises a fiery, emotionally charged story brimming with supernatural passion, folklore mystery, and mafia intrigue. If you love novels that mix fantasy and crime with steamy romance and complex characters, preparing to dive into FLAMES this summer would be a rewarding experience.
