This is the third book in the Firebrand series following the adventures of Detective Constable Emma Bellamy. She's been a detective for a few months now and has made great strides in the supernatural community. But a series of impersonations and a bank robbery could destroy all that progress and have especially caustic effects on her relationship with Lukas. Desperate to solve it all, she drinks a potion that gives her three attempts at redoing the horrible day and fixing all of its consequences.
I loved the whole Groundhog's Day idea, it's such a fun quirky paranormal take on crime. I said in my review of the other book that this was the perfect urban fantasy spin on a traditional detective or crime novel and yeah that stands. It has the whodunnit element but it also has the monsters and the magic. We didn't get much insight into Emma's whole backstory, or why she's the phoenix and what actually happened with her family. But I'll forgive that for the unique combination of magic and romance that occurred in this edition.
This is a definite must-read if you're a fan of easy reads that still grab your attention and keep you reading. I love the mysteries, I love the romance, and I love the arcs that we've seen so far and I can't wait to read more.
