Liviania’s review of Apocalypse Happens (The Phoenix Chronicles, Book 3) by Lori Handeland Contemporary paranormal romance released by St. Martin’s 3 Nov 09 On some level, I know this series is not as good as most of the other urban fantasy I read.  On the other hand, I find it extremely enjoyable.  I actually skipped [...]
