24 Hours of the Phoenix is a book that I could not put down. It will capture your attention from the first chapter till the vary last page. I received this book prior to publication to review it and I can not wait to read another book from this author.
Imagine waking up in a hospital bed to only find out you are dying and only have one day to live. You are only 21 years old, what would you do with it. Phoenix is angry, can not remember what happened yesterday, why is she dying and why is this happening to her. She meets a man named Gabriel, can he help her make her 24 hours mean something?
I recommend this book for anyone looking for a book that you won't be able to put down. I enjoyed the author's writing style and can not wait to read more from her.

I was excited to read this book as soon as I set eyes on the cover image and the synopsis.  It was just my type of story.  Thankfully the author, Caroline Bertaud, was looking for beta-readers prior to publication and approved my request to read her debut novel.

The story had me hooked from the start right through to the final page. This gripping tale moves at an incredible pace, which it has to really as Phoenix only has 24 hours to live!

We are lead through an hour per chapter and I found myself in the age old situation of wanting to read faster but not wanting to reach the end and find that Phoenix had overheard correctly and that she would be dead by morning.  I completely fell for the hero of her day and wished beyond wishing that it was all a mix up and they could have their happy ever after….. but was it?  You will need to read and find out for yourself.
