Who knew a kiss could unearth fire and the long-lost Phoenix? In the second installment of the Chaos & Fury series we pick up months later after Darling finds out that she is now the Phoenix. As Darling learns how to control her Phoenix she discovers that she has unlocked everyone's seeded Chaos powers. Filled with revenge, can Darling find the love she once had with Talon?
Talon, reeling with the devastating realization of how his aunt Aurora has controlled her powers, sets out to find Darling and deliver the one who has truly deceived them all. But when Aurora escapes she leaves a path of destruction that forces Darling and Talon to team up to finally eradicate their common enemy.
Overall rating 3/5
I absolutely loved the first book and could not wait to get my hands on the sequel. However, I was a little disappointed. I felt that 70% of this book dragged as the reader was taken on a tour around the world with lackluster action. I did love the final slow buildup to Darling and Talon finally seeing each other since the fateful kiss. I wish we could have gotten more in depth interactions with all the different “houses” and their new powers.
