Rachel did it once again. A lot of story packed into a little novella. Heat beyond belief...heart...and at least one GREAT laugh (tears of laughter at one point).
I loved Grey and Ari together, loved knowing that at the end they were healING, not healed. I was glad to see Ice and Turner again, and of course Brodie.
So glad I scooped up this installment, and once again read it in three days. Now I wait ever so impatiently for book #3.

The thing I like most about this series is that even though the stories are short, they jump right into the action and carry you along right until the very end. Arabella is a fiesty voodoo priestess, or at least she was. Something went wrong with a spell one day and she ended up serving as one of Osiris's phoenixes until she learns her lesson. While serving as a phoenix may sound glamorous, it's actually quite the opposite. Having to die over and over again in the place of others wears thin quickly. Then one day Ari saves Greyson and everything changes. Ari is willing to risk her soul to try and help him fight his inner demons (which are pretty nasty), but she is only given a week to do it.
Now, Greyson is ex-military, and has carried around guilt from his time in the service for years. When Ari shows up and tries to show him that he has nothing to be guilty about, he runs the opposite way at first, not realizing just how much he needs her. As Ari tries to help Greyson, she realizes that she needs his help as well, and fast. Osiris has given her a time frame to save Greyson and it's quickly approaching when she finds out that everything she knew about her past was wrong. Facing this will push both of them to their emotional limits.
I really liked Ari in the first book of the series, The Last Rising, and was excited to see her starring in her own. I've become attached to the characters and I really hope to see a third book come out.

After reading THE LAST RISING and falling in love with Ice and Turner I didn't want to read about another couple but jumped into THE LAST AWAKENING anyways. The series is very unique and that alone pulls you into the story. The characters are full of depth and grow at a great pace for such short reads.
Ari was easy to like. She had no trouble going for what she wanted and she saw Greyson as being just like her, she wanted to do anything she could to help him heal. Greyson and Ari's attraction is instant and there time together was nothing short of hot. They complemented each other well and helped each other to heal. THE LAST AWAKENING like THE LAST RISING filled with emotion. I loved that the previous couple was included in book 2 and I'm excited to see which couple comes next. I once again was anything but dissatisfied when the last page ended. Ari and Greyson's story was a great addition to the series.
