Review: A Captivating End To This Series...

I have read this series from the very beginning.  This is the 3rd & final installment and features the story of Osiris, the god who was responsible for the women becoming phoenixes and Sadie, the last remaining phoenix.I really enjoyed reading about Sadie's background and how Osiris wrongfully took her... as Sadie had not "sinned" and did not owe retribution for past wrongs as the other phoenixes had when they were taken.  We learn much more about Osiris in this installment, and while he's not fully redeemed in my mind, he came out of the story better than he went in...The story revolves around a life-threatening condition that Sadie develops that shouldn't be...  Osiris and Sadie search for the Book of the Dead to find a possible "cure."I always enjoy updates on how favorite characters from previous books are faring and Rachel lets us revisit the phoenixes from the prior installments as they are called upon by Osiris to help save their sister phoenix.  Along the way, we visit exotic locales, meet up with other deities, and enjoy flashbacks to each of their pasts.While Osiris & Sadie yearn for each other like one would crave a forbiiden fruit on the vine, there was more emotion between the two of them than romance.All in all, Rachel writes very engaging tales and ... and this is no exception.
