Review: The Phoenix Illusion (SPI Files #6) by Lisa Shearin

About the Book

The agents of Supernatural Protection & Investigation (SPI) are used to dealing with the weird and the wacky, but even they are stunned when a building from another world suddenly appears on an empty lot in New York. . .

I’m Makenna Fraser, seer for SPI, and it’s just my luck that my birthday party is literally crashed by a building from another planet. And it’s not just any building—it’s my goblin boyfriend’s house from his home world. SPI’s mission, to keep the public clueless about the supernatural, has us scrambling to find who did this and why, not to mention how.

The deeper we dig, the more we realize this incident is the opening gambit to a much larger event. Old enemies have combined forces with an even older nemesis to develop the means to kidnap an entire building and everyone in it. But who, or what, is their ultimate target? Finding out and getting to the mark before they do will require all hands on deck, including some extraterrestrial help from the goblin home world. We’re running out of time, and if we can’t get our act together, we’ll have front-row seats for the end of the world as we know it.

My Thoughts

I was so excited to dive into The Phoenix Illusion, book six of The SPI Files. It was another fun and action-packed installment. It was great to be back on another adventure with these characters and, like always, Mac was a great narrator who made it feel like I was listening to a dear friend tell me her story. I was instantly pulled in and completely hooked from the start. There was another appearance by a character from Shearin's Raine Benares series which makes me really eager to try those books out. I highly recommend The SPI Files to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy.
