Resumen del Editor

Stealing objects for supernatural clients is my bread and butter. Murder? Not so much.

As a phoenix, I’m used to burning hot and rising from the ashes. That’s why I chose to make my living as a world-class thief. Some say it’s dangerous. I call it fun.

Or it is until someone beats me to my latest mark, stealing the prize and killing a fae duke in the process. To add insult to injury, I get blamed for the gruesome murder.

With my freedom on the line, I’ve got three options.

One, confess my failure and spend a few centuries as the caged pet of my sadistic, bloodsucking client. Nope.

Two, take the blame and let the hotter-than-hell grim reaper take me to jail. Also a hard nope, unless he sweetens the deal with an offer to burn up the sheets.

Is it any wonder I choose door number three? I’ve got to find the real killer, steal back the goods, and remind everyone how I got my reputation as the world’s best “acquirer” in the first place.

There’s just one problem. That sexier-than-sin grim reaper I mentioned?

He’s determined to see me go down.

Discover the thrill of the chase and the excitement of the supernatural in this bestselling urban fantasy series, full of danger, slow-burn romance, and a strong-willed avian shifter who won't back down. With twists and turns at every corner, you won't be able to pause this book. Get your copy today and join the adventure!

Fans of Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunters, Ilona Andrews’s Hidden Legacy, or Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series will find The Last Phoenix a delightful new addition to the Urban Fantasy Romance genre.

WINGS OF FIRE is the 1st book of 7 in The Last Phoenix series, an urban fantasy romance containing fast-paced action, snarky humor, sexy grim reapers, horrific vampires, a hearty dose of swearing, and a healthy splash of slow-burn fated mates romance.

Great Start of Series

This is a great start of series. I really enjoyed the world the author created. The story flowed nicely and kept my attention from start to finish. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the story and characters to life. I look forward to more in this series and by this author

amazin

I love this whole set so far hurt up and do book 4 in audio

A kick ass Urban Fantasy - INDEED

This story was absolutely fabulous. It's got a plethera of magical creatures, sass, and action. The simmering heat level between V and her love interest are the cherry on top.

I highly recommend giving this book a listen!

The title says it all!

A kickass urban fantasy with romance! Yup! Ms. Mirro delivers on that promise! I absolutely loved it! A great fun read! Our main character is strong, capable and snarky! And I love the relationship between her and Kit! What besties are all about! Two thumbs up!! The only thing I didn’t like is now I have to wait for next one to come out on audio!

Loved it! Need book two ASAP...

I loved Wings of Fire: A Kickass Urban Fantasy With Romance (The Last Phoenix, Book 1) by Stephanie Mirro and narrated by Joanna Roddy! Fun and fast-paced action to keep you listening straight through. If you enjoy an urban fantasy that hooks you right off the bat, this is for you.


What’s it about? Veronica “V” is on a job when things go south and she finds herself framed. Trying to clear her name and stay alive, she pairs up with a grim reaper, Thane Munro of the Death Enforcement Agency. Enter vampires, fae’s, angels, a manticore, magic, and more- it leads you on a wild ride. Did I mention V is the last Phoenix and an avian shifter? The minor characters were all awesome too. I was happy to find multiple stories unfolding, lots of action, and it wasn’t the typical “shifter have to mate” romance (more along the lines of he’s hot). There’s no cliffhanger, but one minor story line is left open for sometime in the future and will be huge (I expect). Lots of potential for this series to be fantastic!


The narrator, Joanna Roddy, is new to me and I enjoyed her narration. Pace and tones are perfect. I have no complaints.


I highly recommend this book if UF if your thing. I liked it so much that immediately after finishing, I went to purchase book two only to find it’s not yet on audible. I hope it’s in the works! Both the author and narrator are new to me and I know I will be listening to more of them.

Finally Unique UF

Not just your average Witch/Were/Vampire Tale. Finally a good, solid UF that offers some different players in the Super Natural World. Good humor and sarcasm which this girl is a fan of. The romance is an underlying part of the story but not the sole focus. Definitely ready to keep reading the series.

Veronica or V to her friends is a phoenix... not just any phoenix though... She's got a secret and she can kick ass to boot.

Her latest job goes awry and she's falsely accused she must work to clear her name and find the true guilty party... person.. super or ???? Preferring to work alone V must learn to work with a super hot reaper (sucks to be her right?).. And also get over herself to see that it's ok to have help and not do everything on your own.

I enjoyed the different spin on the super natural world.. this one didn't focus on witches, vampires or weres although each plays a part in the book. I appreciated that the mains were a lesser focused on group and even had an appearance by some angels but they didn't steal the show .

The romance was an addition, not the focus and the slow build or "slow burn" ... A great listen. The narrator totally adds to the story.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book, the characters are unique and I loved that she was an avian shifter! It really helped her get out of some sticky situations. Fun read/listen, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. The narrator was easy to listen to as well!

Love, love, love it!

Wow! The writing, the characters and the plot are all fantastic! If I could give 6 starts I would.
I love the tension and play with the grim reaper from the DEA. The story is hysterical yet there's a solid mystery and a few twists. The author has the ability to string words together in a fashion that is enteraining and bulds character. This story caught my attention and kept it. I'm not one to read or listen to a story more than once but with this one I just might!
