Review
Praise for DOOMSDAY CAN WAIT
“A striking series…with a decidedly sexy edge. Readers again view the world through the eyes of ex-cop turned humanity’s savior Liz Phoenix [in] this complex mythology.”—Romantic Times BOOKreviews (4 stars)
“Awesome.”—Heidi Betts, bestselling author of Tangled Up in Love
“We really enjoyed it…and are looking forward to [more] in this series.”—Robots & Vamps
“Cool…exciting.”—Lurv à la Mode
“Fascinating, vivid, and gritty.”—Fallen Angel Reviews
“Handeland does an amazing job of packing so much punch into the pages of this story without ever leaving the reader behind. Doomsday Can Wait ups the paranormal and emotional content of the series, adding strength to the heroine and a more human touch to one of her closest allies. This is an action packed series that urban fantasy readers should thoroughly enjoy, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the author takes us next.”—Darque Reviews
“Handeland pens another tale that captured my heart…with captivating characters[and]an absorbing plot that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.”—Romance Junkies
Product Description
Elizabeth Phoenix is one of a select few with the power to battle those who have escaped from the darkest level of hell—demons bent on destroying humanity and reclaiming earth once and for all. Liz is determined to stop yet another Doomsday. But this time, it’s going to be more difficult than ever because someone she thought was dead isn’t dead anymore…and is bound and determined to destroy Liz and everyone she loves in the upcoming Apocalypse.
Liz has arrived in Los Angeles to ferret out a nest of varcolacs: half human, half dragon creatures who crave the destruction of the sun and moon. But before she can prevent the kind of eclipse that would bring the world to an end, Liz must mine the depths of her own heart. She and her former lover Jimmy Sanducci have some personal demons to battle—and there’s always her mentor, the Navajo shaman Sawyer. Is he on their side or isn’t he? In the end, the three of them must find a way to fight together…or perish alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars
gritty urban fantasy, Nov 4 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Apocalypse Happens (Mass Market Paperback)
Hell has opened the portal to earth so warrior Elizabeth Phoenix heads to Los Angeles to close it before the Apocalypse Happens. However, as she battles to control her dueling nature, the leader of the light Liz is stunned as someone long dead is alive. Still she must prevent the Varcolacs half dragons from causing the ultimate eclipse that will plunge the earth into total darkness as the sun and moon will be destroyed. Sill even if she wins, Liz sentences many to death.
At the same she struggles with simply saving the world, she wonders about her relationships. Her former lover Jimmy Sanducci returns and her mentor Navajo shaman Sawyer seems to want her on a more personal level. Perhaps it is all her doomsday fighting, but she is unsure whether she trusts either of the men in her life.
The latest Phoenix Chronicles (see Doomsday Can Wait and Any Given Doomsday) is a gritty urban fantasy starring a kick butt heroine who finds her world turning uglier and darker as she has reached the point that she distrusts the two men in her life. Although at times the story line feels overwhelming to Liz and to the reader with so much going on, fans will enjoy her latest escapades as the heroine knows that even delaying doomsday does not prevent Apocalypse Happens.

I really like the direction this series is going, Dec 16 2009
By J. Laughlin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Apocalypse Happens (Mass Market Paperback)
Creative storylines, heroine at peace with her evil side enough to do her job, heartbreaking love triangle; its just good stuff. Make sure you have read the other books in the Phoenix series first. You will be glad you did.

Different Spin, Dec 8 2009
By betp22 "betp22" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Apocalypse Happens (Mass Market Paperback)
I am enjoying this series so far. The American Indian aspect is a new spin for me, and the characters are interesting and fun to read about. Hopefully, the West and Indian lore will continue to make a strong appearance in the stories.
Listmania!
