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!
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.
