The author's website states that one of the genres she writes in is "literary / lyrical trance." One would be hard pressed to think of a better description for Vixen's style of writing, which features beautiful prose that isn't superfluous or pretentious.
In our post-modern world that seems to be flooded with commercial fluff, Vixen Phillips's work is emotional, daring, and a breath of fresh air.
