Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.
Marked as special at an early age, jacinda knows her every
move is watched. But she lons for freedom to make her own choices. When she
breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life.
Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those
like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense
is her secret ability to shift into human form.
Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family,
jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is
Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner drake to life. Although she is
irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will’s dark secret: He and his family
are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner drake is slowly
slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She’ll do
anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous
enemy.
Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this
story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient
divide.
I like dragons. Who doesn’t? I had high hopes for this
series, and have had it on my to-read
list for quite some time. But, well, it fell flat for me. It’s about a girl/dragon
who is rebelling against the rules of the clan and almost gets herself killed
by a hunter, who happens to be…you guessed it: a gorgeous guy that she
immediately forms an infatuation with because he is “different”. I guess not
killing you when he’s supposed to is different. Basically there are different
plot points that seem to pop out of nowhere in order to get this girl to move
to the one place that happens to miraculously be where gorgeous hunter boy
lives. And, coincidentally enough, he is also the only guy around who makes her
inner dragon well, ahem, burn? Roar? I don’t know. So, another excuse for her
to stalk him, and he in turn stalks her too because coincidentally…well that’s
a spoiler so I won’t say it. But you get my drift. There’s a lot of coincidence
in this book, but okay, most books have a fantastical one in a million chance
that makes something phenomenal happen, but this is a bit over the top for me.
It lost my interest about 80 pages in and I had to force myself to keep reading.
This is not a good dragon book. It’s basically another author finding a
different creature to present the same story. Forbidden love. Go to school and
meet. Fall in love. Sad day for me.
Warning: lots of making out and kissing. Little bit of swearing. Mentions
drinking. FYI.
