Phoenyx RisingPhoenyx Rising by Kolleen Fraser
Megan Townsend's Rating: 5 of 5 stars

At the age of 16, Phoenyx killed 4 people. But she doesn't remember how, or why. All she knows is her name and that she’s a demigod. She is punished for her crimes by being sent to the academy for young demigods, in hopes that she can learn how to control her powers. But how can she when her whole life is a blank space. As she fights to control her powers, to figure out how to move on with her life and to maybe find happiness, she keeps getting pulled back.

This was an amazing story that kept you involved. You wanted Phoenyx to find herself, to figure out what happened to her. It broke your heart every time she was forced to forget. It was like a movie you couldn't wait to finish.

When Phoenyx Ember woke up in the burning remnants of a crater, she couldn't remember anything except her name. She is haunted by the blackness that envelops her past and the limitless power of fire coursing through her veins.

She is charged with a murder she doesn't remember committing and shipped to the Academy, a home for the violent offenders and orphaned children of power.

There, she will fight the darkness inside herself and look for answers to who she is and why her past was erased.

Some secrets are meant to stay hidden.
