If you love dragons as much as I do and need a light-hearted read full of unbelievably drama that you can cackle away at, then this is the book for you. Broke into her house because he missed her.

I also loved that she didn’t question seeking him out even though she knew he: The constant tension of Jacinda struggling to control her manifestations in front of the boy who gets her heart-rate up – WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A DRAKI HUNTER – was just swoon-worthy. I could sit there flicking through the pages in flash of flustered fixation NEEDING to know what would happen next. Taking away all the extra thoughts and over-analysis that comes with being a bitter and lonely adult, I just loved this story for its popcorn-worthiness. Which makes me sad because I remember the flurry of excitement I had reading books like Wings (Aprilynne Pike) *sigh* when you can’t help but get all flustered at the devoted boys willing to DIE for their ladies.ĪNYWAY. I love me some YA, but the true insta-romance YA I now find a bit grating. I can’t deny that at my ripe old age of 23 and a half years that I struggle to get properly invested in these young-ish books. I enjoyed this for all the superficial reasons. Buckle up kids for a wild YA ride of fiery romance and much defiance. Why? Because all the pride wants to do is KEEP her and force her to breed. There are many different types of dragons that can exist and no fire breathing dragons have been seen for GenERaTioNS and lo and behold, Jacinda (the MC) ‘manifests’ (which is basically puberty but for draki) into a firebreather. It’s all very controlled and no YA leading lady likes to be controlled. So they’re only allowed to fly at night and have to stick close to the pride for safety. The dragons, sorry, ‘draki’, have to live in hiding because humans hunt them for fun. though a Fireball of dragons, or, a Shimmer of dragons, or, a Flap of Dragons could’ve been more fun) where our main character lives. So we start off in a ‘pride’ which is a group of dragons (a very apt collective noun if you ask me. This is a story about dragon shifters and it’s set in America. I really want to keep reading to find out what happens next! I LOVE dragons and have been told many times to read this. Sometimes you just need a good ol’ throwback to those insta-lovey, drama-hyped teenage fantasies to have a good laugh.
