No love burns hotter than a pyromancer’s…For five months, Idris has languished in a government detention center for paras—people with paranormal abilities. No more. He’d rather die trying to escape than spend one more day in this hell. Today, he’s getting out, and he’ll set anyone who stands in his way on fire.It was just another mission for Violet: help her squad free paras from unjust imprisonment and get them safely to Sanctuary. However, when she’s caught between her leader's orders and the sudden realization that one of the prisoners might be her mate, this phoenix shifter needs to choose between duty and destiny.On the run from the authorities, Idris only has one thing in mind: revenge. He doesn’t mind that Violet insists on accompanying him, though… after all, he’s been celibate for far too long. But when he realizes why she’s so interested in him, he can’t run away fast enough. Even running into danger on his own is preferable to yielding to love...

Kallysten’s most exciting accomplishment to date was to cross a few thousand miles and an ocean to pursue the love of her life. She strives to give her characters the same ‘happy ever after’ she found… although their lives are significantly stranger than hers! But whether they have fangs or an inner beast, whether they play with magic or with whips, whether they’re looking for ‘the one’ or a single night of fun, in the end it’s all about love…

Phoenix and Fire

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

The government considers those with paranormal abilities as sick and need to be caught and "cured". Idris Serden, was waiting to escape and wreck vengeance on those who captured him but for now he's in a cell. He's finally come up with an escape plan that will introduce him to his mate. Violet is one of a unique squad for rescuing those with abilities. She has a special ability as well and this special ability comes in handy in rescues. When Violet meets Idris, he's in the process of breaking out of his cell and taking care of the guards. She decides then and there to buck against her commander's orders and rescue the three prisoners on that final floor. Little does she know that this will lead her down a path that will bring both she and Idris together as mates. The trip down that road is not going to be easy but it will bring a smile to the reader when the story's end comes. Kallysten does know how to write love stories and this is another good one!

author didn't drag the drama out

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is my first book by this author. I received it for free so I wasn't motivated to keep reading in order to get my money's worth. I am happy to call it quickly with freebies. And yet I did keep reading because the story was engaging. Others have mentioned some of the unique parts and the world building details. I appreciated the fresh take.

I also appreciated the length and the fact that the author didn't drag the drama out for another 150 pages in order to have a full length book. The story was told and when it was resolved, she stopped talking.

That being said, I'm giving it 3 stars because I liked it, but didn't love it and probably won't pay to finish the series.

This had a nice steady pace, good story, good main characters and I loved the features both Violet and her fireman displayed when they gave in to the supernatural powers. It had that little bit of difference.

The beginning was a little slow to grab my interest. Overall the book is worth pressing on to get to the meat of the story. The passion between Hawke and Jenna is wild. If we are lucky, the impact parents and siblings make on our lives good and negative help us find our own true passion for life.

Interesting para mate story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2021

I really enjoyed this story. The characters were strong and unique, and there was mystery in the story. I also liked the fact that Violet was happy to find her mate and work with him even though he was running from her.

Violet and Idris’ story was a different kind of paranormal book that I’ve never read before. Exciting and adventurous, the Phoenix and pyromancer meet amid his escape attempt from a governmental testing lab and together they seek revenge for the betrayal of other paras. Good writing and a great storyline carry the characters to their fated destiny. I enjoyed this book immensely.

Good start, but next time think things through please?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

decent setup and setting, the escaping prisoner is a good intro, the paranormal/parahuman minority being persecuted is a very common setting, but still interesting. The mind-fkery was not good. Not the mental powers, although the mind-reading is bot nice, people are decent about it and it is individual-based. The bull where he is doing everything he can to do his own thing, but noo, theY bELonG tOgetHEr. It is not very well thought out, and it only encourages differentiation between paras and non-paras, because only paras have the tattoos, and only with other paras. really? I can understand the cult-mentality that makes her go after him, but can somebody please actually be a critical thinker about it?

Dramatic story of how Idris and Violet met and were definitely made for each other

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Pyromancer Idris has been in a government detention centre for paranormal abilities for the last 5 months. But he decides no more - he will try once again to escape or die trying. Anyone who gets in his way he will set on fire! For phoenix shifter Violet, it was just another mission to help her squad free paras who have been unjustly imprisoned and get them to Sanctuary and safety. But she draws her leaders ire when she realises that one of the prisoners might be her mate where she has to choose between duty and destiny. Idris then has only one thought - revenge against the person who betrayed him to the authorities - he is fine when Violet tags along (after all he has been celibate for months) but when he realises why she is interested in him he can't run away fast enough - danger on his own is preferable to love.

This was a powerful shifter story with drama, danger, passion and love in spades as the story unfolded of how Idris and Violet found each other. I loved the detail of the paranormal skills of both of them and the coolness of what they could achieve. Their coming together was very passionate as they struggled to come to terms with being together as mates as well as the danger they were finding themselves in. Well written and very enjoyable.

Enjoyed it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 16, 2020

I did enjoy this book, but I felt it could have been more. It was all over a bit too quickly, and I would have preferred it had taken more time and been more detailed.

It was a good story, just not a brilliant one. Just a bit longer, detailed, and polished, and I'd have given it another star.

Short, little plot and a lazy 'fated' romance

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on August 9, 2019

TSTL Hero - now that's first for me. He was blinded by revenge, ignorant, ungrateful and pretty much all round a jerk. He doesn't want a fated mate, but then gets all snooty when he leaves her and she doesn't follow him??? Say what now?
Sure, he was stuck in prison, horrific conditions for five months. But instead of playing things smart. Instead of gaining his strength back. He goes off half cocked, stealing a motorbike, making a spectacle of himself so the police know he's out there. This guy was beyond irritating.
Violet, or Ladybird - it's her codename, which I was fine with. But when the Hero keeps calling her that, gag me with a spoon, it sounded trite. Anyway, Violet is all things smart, calm and collected. She's cool under fire, keeps trying to talk sense into Idris and when that fails calmly backs up every stupid move he makes, invariably saving his life again and again and again.
This plot device got repetitive real fast.
Which then leads me to the plot.... um... there really isn't any. Prison break. Violet attaches herself to Idris and they ride across country so he can have his revenge.

The whole fated mates - tattoo thing had potential. But then the author ruined it by saying some people never even bother to search for their mates, they pick their own. And Idris, while he likes the curves on Violet when he first lays eyes on her, he's pretty much ready to sleep with the cashier four hours later who makes eyes at him. So The fated thing is just another lazy device by an author who can't be bothered to actually build a relationship between the two leads.
My biggest peeve with this book is they sleep together in the first 24 hours - Violet because she knows he's her mate. Him, because he hasn't been laid in 5 months. Despite the fated mate thing it just didn't ring true.
The writing was fine but both the world building/rules of magic and the characters need some work.
