Romance Paranormal | Fantasy Urban

Liz Phoenix is still reeling from the death of mentor and lover Sawyer and her part in it. After Sawyer visits her in a dream, she is left with the responsibility for a baby with more secrets than just her parentage. It's a good thing her sidekick, Luther, knows more about babies than Liz, or they'd be in more trouble than they're used to encountering.

Guided by Ruthie, fleeing those who want the baby dead, Liz and Luther must find her ex-lover Jimmy Sanducci. Liz and Jimmy have a history making it difficult for them to work together, or completely trust one another, but they must have the Book of Samyaza and they cannot defeat that which guards it on their own. And Liz as another reason for wanting the book. In it is the secret for raising the dead, and she knows she needs Sawyer back among the living if they're going to defeat the continuing threat of the Nephilim.

CHAOS BITES by Lori Handeland is the fourth in the Phoenix Chronicles. Ms. Handeland has created an intriguing storyline with the impending apocalypse, and continues to throw in a variety of unexpected, humorous and frightening twists to keep things fresh. CHAOS BITES has all of these elements, and then some, guaranteeing it's a tough to put down page-turner. That said, I have to admit the gloom and doom, the choices Liz must make and the things she must endure can be a real downer. While I really liked this book, and enjoy the entire premise of the series, I was feeling pretty negative by the end of the story. Yes, these are dark days, but even darkness needs some light on occasion!

SUMMARY

It’s not the end of the world—yet. But Doomsday once again lies in wait for demon-slayer Elizabeth Phoenix. Several weeks ago she had no choice but to kill a man she loved. Sawyer was a witch and shape-shifter, a sorcerer of incredible strength. And now he’s started to invade her dreams…in the most dangerous and sensuous ways imaginable. Through her nighttime visits with Sawyer, Liz has acquired a new set of paranormal powers. She has also received a special new gift in the form of Sawyer’s baby. Now nothing is as it seems as Liz combs through the chaos of her new life while trying to outrun death at every turn. She’s going to need all the help she can get—even if that means dealing with her embittered ex-lover Jimmy Sanducci. He may be the only one left she can trust…since every other demon on earth is hell-bent on her destruction.
