About this audiobook
The demon threat closes around mortals and gods alike… When Emma became nanny to John Chen's daughter, she never expected to be caring for the child of a Chinese god, or that all the demons in hell would want him dead.
Now she’s in love with John, and they are hunted from China to Europe by a race of demons. But who are the real pawns in this deadly celestial game?
Kylie Chan's Dark Heavens trilogy is the most exciting Urban Fantasy debut of 2010. Already a smash-hit in the author's native Australia it brings a world of Oriental Gods, martial arts action and romance to the genre.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really enjoyed it. Very fast paced, can't wait to get book 3.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was not quite as good as "The White Tiger," it lacked much of the humour that made the first book such a delight, but the action and excitement was right up there, so it was still a page turner. Looking forward to the last book in the trilogy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Was not able to put Red Phoenix. A must read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I actually finally gave up on this, even though I have some mild interest in how it ends. The protagonist ought to be on the master list of Mary Sue-dom. Everyone loves her, she is just naturally talented at everything, the deities are delighted to have her around, etc. Even though the Chinese mythos is well researched and the overall story is fine, I just couldn't deal with it anymore. So, back to the library it goes!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Red phoenix is definitely an improvement over White tiger. It is still rather slow and somewhat repetitive (I was getting particularly sick of Emma mentioning how she doesn't need words in her relationship with Mr. Chen). However, it was not actively boring, things keep happening and the story is finally moving forward beyond 'Emma learns to fight better'. She still does of course, and she's really good at everything and everybody loves her and admires her (it gets a bit cloying), but the fighting is more interesting now that Emma is doing more advanced energy work, things progress between John and Emma, and we see a bit more of this Chinese mythology world. I'm a particular fan of all the stones, they are all really cool, and I also like the dragons (of course). Since I was really tired this week, I couldn't handle anything even slightly taxing, so this was perfect. Despite all the demon attacks, this book is really comfy, and quite frankly, when I'm in the state I was in this week, I'm absolutely fine with too-perfect too-powerful protagonists. I want someone I can count on to save the day without any twinge of worry. Plus, the Chinese mythology is cool, well executed and well integrated into current-day society, and there's a refreshing lack of misogyny in this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am liking this series more and more all the time. The first book had a few wobbles, and I thought that it occasionally got tripped up on name-dropping places around Hong Kong, but as the series progresses that is really smoothing out. Definitely glad I kept going with this. Off to read the next one!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5At first, I found this one rather slow and slightly boring. But after the first 20 chapters or so I actually found myself enjoying it more than the first one. It was much better written than White Tiger and it had me hooked by the end. Great read!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A direct continuation of book one, it was just a wonderful read. It focuses more on Emma's developing powers than on John Chen or outside factors. Simone startes school and the Mountain's Students are moved to Hong Kong whilst repairs to the Mountain continue. The Phoenix doesn't really appear in this book despite the bopok's title, except in two chapters, but we get to meet Michael, a young man with hidden talents. Emma and JOhn can be together at last whilst they stay with the White Tiger in his palace. Alice disappears and strange hybrid demons, all fake elementals start to appear. Emma developes a frightening new identity.An open ending for the next book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Red Phoenix continues from where White Tiger left off. Emma learns more about herself and her true nature that has even the Immortals puzzled. She is like nothing they have ever seen.Kylie Chan continues this series in the irreverent style that made the first book so readable. The story hurtles along and takes you with it for a wild ride.
