Recently jailed after killing her most recent master, Moira feels like she’s finally ready to give into her impending execution. Mind of the Phoenix follows Moira del Mar, a courtesan-turned-criminal with the power of emotional and mental manipulation. Beyond the corsets, the balls, and the allure of empaths, this wannabe steampunk adventure ended up being a few cogs short of a steam-powered engine. Jamie McLachlan’s Mind of the Phoenix ended up giving me the same feeling of being let down once I got past the decorative outside. The same can be said for most paranormal romances these days, as well. Sometimes, an average gift is just an average gift, no matter how much you try to dress up the package with frilly bows and wrapping paper.
