I would be up for this, I'm re-reading the books now. How would you like to go about making the page?

I'm not sure.
Okay, how about this for a quick description and a few tropes? We'll probably need to expand upon it a bit before we put it up, so feel free to add anything you think of.
There are 100 days until the end of the world.
The Phoenix Files is a six-book series by Australian writer Chris Morphew from 2009-2013. The book centres on a group of teenagers, Luke Hunter, Peter Weir and Jordan Burke, who are sent to live at a newly constructed, way-too-perfect town by the name of Phoenix, built by the Shackleton Cooperative, a powerful corporation. They soon become aware that the town is much more sinister than it seems, and Shackleton plans to use something called “Tabitha” to end all life outside of Phoenix in one hundred days. Completely cut off from the outside world, the unsuspecting residents of Phoenix are about to become the sole survivors of the human race.
The story is told from a Switching P.O.V., rotating between Luke, Peter and Jordan once a book.
- Love Makes You Crazy: Peter goes crazy after watching Luke and Jordan develop feelings for each other.
- Sanity Slippage: Peter suffers this throughout the series as a result of the fallout.
- Stalker with a Crush: Peter's feelings for Jordan often border being obsessive, from him memorising her timetable and address, to getting jealous when she hangs out with Luke.
- Switching P.O.V.: Arrival and Underground are narrated by Luke, Contact and Fallout are narrated by Peter, and Mutation and Doomsday are narrated by Jordan.
- Uncanny Village: In a subversion of sorts, while Phoenix is far too perfect to be innocent, the unsuspecting community living in the village are perfectly normal - it’s the people running the town who are planning the end of the world.
- Wham Line: Arrival ends on one: Someone's phone was ringing.

Nice. Let's start that page; I've seen pages with less tropes than that. Also, crosswicking needs to happen.

Whoops, a bit late on this. Anyway, it's up: The Phoenix Files.
Crosswicking? I got told off by mods a few times for launching stubs with no crosswicking.
I know this 6-book series called The Phoenix Files by Chris Morphew. It doesn't have a trope page. Can you help me build one?
