I'm looking for a series of 'Choose your own adventure' books. I owned two or three of them about 10 years ago. I believe they might have originally been French, because some character names gave a French vibe.
It was about two teenagers or young adults who worked for a secret agency, which took care of supernatural things. It was a girl and a guy and you could always choose who you wanted to play as. The girl had black shoulder length hair and was very athletic. Each book had drawings of them and also of their secret hideout and all the rules of the agency were listed, it was really quite detailed and well done. I remember the following stories:
- something about opera singers having lost their voices, the reveal was that they were somehow being stolen by some supernatural being I think
- something with werewolves, maybe also vampires
- and, my favourite: They somehow ended up in some kind of f****d up version of the Wonderland (Alice). Not quite as bad as Mc Gee but it was very surreal and kind of evil.
I don't think you could actually die, but there were many possibilities to fail your mission, and being excluded from the agency forever. It was clearly intended for young people but had some violence and dark stuff, kind of a dark and edgy tone. It was also not easy, in one adventure you had to make one entirely optional visit and note down a number of words you found in a book there, and if you didn't, you eventually had no way to defeat the end boss.
I'm pretty sure it was called something with 'Phoenix' - or maybe that was just the name of the agency.. phoenix club, phoenix order, something like that. But I cannot find anything about this.
