Challenge Corner discussion

I have spent my entire life in the basement of my father’s church. My sadistic mother and god-fearing father believe I have the devil inside of me because I heal after their abuse. I’d accepted long ago I would die in the very place I’d been born without ever feeling the sun on my skin. Then one day, my mother took me from my father’s religious cult in the wake of his death. Nearly a week later, and after countless hours with her boyfriend Jed’s creepy remarks, I find myself in Washington State. I had only ever interacted with my parents and now Jed, so you can imagine my surprise when I ran smack dab into possibly the most handsome man in the world. He’s not alone though, there are intriguing and handsome men popping up everywhere in my life.

Except I shouldn’t be focusing on that. I should be preparing for my mother’s cruel hits. Preparing to run the minute I turn 18. Preparing to hide from Jed’s leering comments and uncomfortable stares. One interaction with this man and I feel like my entire life has been altered.

Five days until I turn 18. Five days until my mother realizes what happens when you keep a bird cooped up for too long, only to open its cage. Five days until I am out of here.

My problem? Everything inside of me tells me that those intriguing men are mine… and they seem to think the same.

This is a slow/medium burn fantasy RH that features a naive but strong MFC with a troubled past and a secret about what she really is. Come meet Maya and her protective and possessive dragon shifters! This book will be part of the Reborn series.

Warnings: Please be advised that the book contains darker themes such as child abuse, PTSD, swearing, and violence. Additionally, sexual themes are suitable for mature audiences +18. This book will end on a slight cliffhanger.

Crashing this too. Bahaha.

Sweet! I'm working on the Shifter Wars books, I finished book 1 and it was pretty good!

Right! I liked the aspect of it. Definitely different than what I've read before.

Reborn in Flames
23%(view spoiler)[first off, I HATE how long these chapters are. I hate long chapters. 😩

Second, I feel so fucking terrible for this girl.

Third, I’m having a hard time determining who the hell her damn buys are. I mean obviously all the ones from the house. But she met a few people at school so I’m having a hard time figuring it out so far. (hide spoiler)]
46%(view spoiler)[is she a Phoenix ? 🤔🤔 Also. Fuck Becky Ash. (hide spoiler)]
74%(view spoiler)[kinda figured she was a Phoenix. With all the hints about fire and ash and whatnot. But I’m glad her shit parents are dead. Now I’m just confused on who the bad guys are gonna be. (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[well shit no was not expecting that. And he knew?! Wtf. Lol. Also, it’s been a really long time since I read a RH with so many heroes. I’m freaking loving it. (hide spoiler)]

Book two
23%(view spoiler)[hmm. I need something to happen. It’s just been too long without something going down. I mean a quarter of the book and nothing. 😩 (hide spoiler)]
52%(view spoiler)[is this kid for real? He seriously attacked her in her home with all seven of her mates there?! What an idiot. *hermoine granger voice* (hide spoiler)]
77%(view spoiler)[FINALLY! Some actual smut. Marco is so hot. 🤤🤤 Also. These FBI agents are annoying as hell. (hide spoiler)]
83%(view spoiler)[oh shit. I bet she’s the Phoenix that died that was part of the royal family. I can’t remember what was said about it. But she was said to have “died” right? I bet it’s Maya. (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[I’m totally right. I just know it.

Also, I feel like these books have been a lot of them figuring one another out and not so much things actually happening. I mean seriously. Both books took place over the span of two weeks. Wtf. Lol. (hide spoiler)]

Ah! Stop reading lol

Oh girl I did! Lmao. As soon as I seen that last book wasn’t released. Lol.

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Oh shiiiiiitake mushrooms. I hope that asshole dies. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Eh, so far I don't really like Maya which sounds kind of mean to type right now. She's nice and shy but ugh, just meek right now. Especially after reading a book with a boss ass bitch main character. I do feel bad for her but that's about it right now. Hoping something happens soon. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Firefly? Phoenix? Things makes sense now. My little naïve firefly. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-Finish: (view spoiler)[Her dad is a real asshole. That's for sure. (hide spoiler)]

Comment @ 23%, yeah the flow of chapters didn't really make sense to me.

Felicia wrote: "Reborn in Flames

Comment @ 46%, lol yeah that was kind of obvious to figure out

Felicia wrote: "Reborn in Flames

Comment @ 74%, I WAS NOT A FAN OF HER DAD. AT ALL.

Felicia wrote: "Reborn in Flames

Definitely excited to see what is going to happen in the next one! I hope it's a quick one too!

Definitely was, but I was super upset it's not finished. Lol. I'll finish the series in September, maybe.

Prologue: (view spoiler)[I fucking hate the basement scene so fucking much. Fuck the father. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I'll definitely dive into that book in that month. I just want to get the first three over with lol.

25%: (view spoiler)[Meh, I'm so bored right now. I want a nap because nothing is happening. (hide spoiler)]

51%: (view spoiler)[I feel like I should slow clap or something for all the dumb decisions. Maybe? Eh, I'll do it later. (hide spoiler)]

74%: (view spoiler)[Well that is one way to apologize.. which is the right way in my eyes. Just saying. (hide spoiler)]

Comment @ 83%, lmao I wouldn't be surprised if she was

100%: (view spoiler)[These books feel weird to me for some reason. It's like things happen but they also don't at the same time. Or maybe things are moving fast but at a super slow pace? Not sure if that makes sense but to my tired ass brain it does. I need coffee lol. (hide spoiler)]

Yes, only two weeks twin! That's why I'm like wtf is going on? Or more likely why is nothing going on? Ya know?

Lmao yes I feel you with this. Ugh. Now my brain hurts even more lol

I started book 1 woo!

Woohoo!

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Hmm okay I'm not really sure what to think about that prologue. No one better die. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-6: (view spoiler)[Did something crawl up Anna's ass and die? Why is she such a dumb bitch? Ugh. Other than that, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she went into heat and got pregnant. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 7-12: (view spoiler)[I'm glad she's getting closer to the guys and shit but can we back the fuck up for a hot minute. A fucking blue phoenix? Now that sounds bad ass. I want one. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 13-Finish: (view spoiler)[Ah with how this ended I can now see why a fourth book was made. Ugh, I hate the pastor guy. Why didn't he just die from like being hit by a rock or something? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 4 (view spoiler)[ I can't imagine growing up totally isolated in a basement, how horrible. Fuck her "parents" (hide spoiler)]
Ch 10 (view spoiler)[ I don't know why she isn't telling the guys that her mom and Jed beat her. It's obvious they do and why would she protect them? Leave girl! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 18 (view spoiler)[ It's kind of odd that she's so naïve and innocent but then also wants to hook up with the guys. It makes her seem like a child when she asks what things are and kind of weirds me out when she's sexual (hide spoiler)]
End (view spoiler)[ Cool that she's a phoenix! I don't love that the wolf shifter is also her mate, I think we could have just stuck with the dragons and been fine (hide spoiler)]

But (view spoiler)[the wolf mate thing makes it interesting! At least I think. You don't normally read RH books where it's like this, I believe. I haven't. 🤷‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

You're right though about her. It is all a little weird (view spoiler)[that she has no experience being around literally anyone but the three people who she's seen before and she just seamlessly molded into their lives. I mean I guess they're mates so she feels comfort around them? But I feel like she should have more questions about her feelings or something! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 5 (view spoiler)[ I like learning about the different types of dragons, though shouldn't the twins be the same kind since they're identical? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 10 (view spoiler)[ I want her to use her Phoenix powers so bad! Fry that asshole Lorn! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 16 (view spoiler)[ Finally sexy times!! I hope when it comes to the twins, it's a threesome lol. (hide spoiler)]

Alaina wrote: "51%: [spoilers removed]"

haha yes!

Alaina wrote: "74%: [spoilers removed]"

Right? Great apology ;)

Finished (view spoiler)[ I know they want to interrogate her 'father' but I wish he were dead ugh. And fuck Lorn.

I want to know more about Jordan and her new men. I think I'd rather read about them instead (hide spoiler)]
