For some, rebirth is not a reward. Centuries ago the gods demanded Ashayna Stonemantle sacrifice her demon-tainted lover. She did, and then ended her own life, but it didn't fulfill her obligations to the gods. Reborn into a new body, Ashayna has no awareness of her former life until her sentient magic manipulates her into seeking out Sorntar, Crown Prince of the Phoenix. The majestic and charismatic Sorntar reveals that she is host to a Larnkin-a spirit creature of vast power. If she can trust the word of a man who is part avian, he is host to her Larnkin's other half. When their Larnkins awaken early and force them into an unbreakable bond, Ashayna and Sorntar are accused of being corrupted by an ancient evil. To prove their innocence, they must discover what happened in the past to pit bondmate against bondmate. As the search for the truth draws them closer together, Ashayna realizes she's falling in love with Sorntar. But before she can tell him, his tainted Larnkin enslaves him. The gods demand she kill her beloved, as she did once before, but she will not do it, even if it's the only thing that will keep her soul safe from his darkness.

My first problem with this book is it is 'Young Adult'. Nowhere does it state this. Not in any synopsis I read, nor on Amazon kindle where the book is categorized. At no point was I, as a reader, informed of it being Young Adult. I suspected it half way through. By the time I was 75% done, it was beyond question.
Why did it take me so long to realize this? The writing in the first half of the story constantly insinuates that something 'More' will happen between Ashayna and Sortar. Their age, the world building and how the story was flowing, leads the reader to think it is Adult. Imagine my bewilderment when they 'bond'. This scene should have been pivotal. It was weak and impotent.
My second problem with the story is the last 50 percent. It is indecisive and faltering. It is so unlike the first half you feel like a different author started writing it. Or perhaps the author changed their mind on the type of story they were writing NUMEROUS times. The H/H run around getting into situations that make the reader think something is going to happen, but nothing comes of their actions. You are left scratching your head, wondering WHY is this scene in this story. This happens throughout the rest of the story. The entire last half was unsatisfying and long winded. You are left with a bad taste in your mouth.
What started off with a lot of promise fizzled out and died. (
