A review by simone_reads
The Phoenix and the Spider by Benny Charles, Alex Robinson

3.0

I loved the characters. Theo turned out to be such a spunky, genuine soul and I loved her. Strangely I also really loved Tony even though he was a small part of the story.

I loved the love story and the the fact that they kept finding each other in the new lives they had.

I enjoyed the concept of this story and I found it very intriguing and fascinating.

The vilian was definitely unlikable and the roles were set out really well.

This book was incredibly well written. From beginning to end and I really found it easy to read and follow.

That being said I did have some drawbacks.
I felt the backstory became too much and too long. It was a lot of information to take in.
This was an absolute beast of a book and I feel some things could have been dramatically shortened.

If you are a slow burn lover then this would be perfect for you.
