Paranormal Romance That’s Messy, Magical, and 100% Addictive.
Klutz: Phoenix Unleashed (But Did You Die? Book 1)
by Sedona Ashe
Being reborn as a phoenix shifter would be great… if you weren’t already a walking disaster.
Phoenix Unleashed kicks off the series with a bang (literally), introducing a heroine who’s more chaos than control. But she’s also fiercely lovable, sarcastic, and somehow still standing — despite attracting danger, men, and magical messes wherever she goes.
This is a paranormal romantic comedy with bite, complete with fated mates, fire magic, and the kind of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers chemistry that has you screaming kiss already. Add in a mysterious past and a cast of unforgettable side characters, and you’ve got a fantasy rom-com that’s pure escapism.
Perfect for fans of accidental heroine tropes, shifter romance, and spicy slow-burn fantasy with wild humor.
Klutz: Phoenix Down (But Did You Die? Book 2)
by Sedona Ashe
The chaos continues — and so does the heat.
In Phoenix Down, our girl is still klutzy, still dodging magical assassins, and still tangled up in emotions (and bedsheets) with men she’s not sure she can trust — or resist. This book raises the stakes with deepening bonds, twisted secrets, and some genuinely emotional moments beneath all the sass.
Expect more shifter antics, reverse harem vibes, and romantic tension that’s both steamy and surprisingly heartfelt. The heroine’s growth really starts to shine here, proving that even the most disaster-prone phoenix can rise stronger.
A must-read for lovers of why-choose paranormal Romance, multiple love interests, and magic-laced emotional chaos.
Klutz: Phoenix Heat (But Did You Die? Book 3)
by Sedona Ashe
Things are getting hotter — in every sense of the word.
Phoenix Heat delivers on the “heat” promised in the title, both in action and Romance. The plot thickens with new threats, shifting alliances, and burning questions about who the heroine really is — and what kind of power she’s meant to wield.
The romantic stakes are higher, the connections deeper, and the intimacy between characters feels more grounded in genuine affection and trust. Yes, the humor’s still here. Yes, she still trips over her own feet. But there’s also strength, loyalty, and a wild ride toward the truth.
Ideal for readers who crave spicy urban fantasy, shifter squads, and romances that balance comedy with real stakes.
Klutz: Phoenix Secrets (But Did You Die? Book 4)
by Sedona Ashe
Secrets burn. And some are powerful enough to rewrite your world.
In Phoenix Secrets, the series pivots into deeper emotional and plot territory. The heroine’s journey of self-discovery takes center stage, and the magic system begins to unfold fully. Expect plot twists, betrayals, and revelations that will have you flipping pages at 2 a.m.
The Romance? Still sizzling. The tension? Still off the charts. But this installment feels like the turning point — where the humor takes a backseat just long enough for truth, love, and power to rise finally.
Best for fans of long-arc fantasy romance, reverse harem slow-burns, and heroines who evolve without losing their spark.
Mistletoe Mates: A Candi Cane Holiday
by Sedona Ashe
Need a break from phoenix fire? Step into a holiday fantasy that’s just as spicy — but a little more sweet.
Mistletoe Mates is a dark paranormal holiday romance with all the festive sparkle you love and just enough danger to keep things interesting. It’s got fated mates, supernatural sass, and plenty of mistletoe moments you won’t forget.
Unlike the main series, this novella is short and fast-paced — perfect if you want a holiday escape that delivers instant lust, emotional heat, and a touch of magic. Think Hallmark… if Hallmark were a little more unhinged and a lot more feral.
Read this one when you need a holiday paranormal romance fix with snow, spice, and supernatural mischief.
