A hidden truth. Mortal enemies. Doomed love.
Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs 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 draki 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 draki 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.

My Review

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)

One series that I will keep track of for as long as Sophie Jordan writes about it. I love this series due to the fact it’s different from all the other series I’ve read. This series is about Dragons or Draki. It’s about a girl Jacinda who defies her kind to find out about the hunter who saved her life. She faces so many challenges in this book that I was on the age of my seat the whole time I read this book on my Kindle. I really can’t wait to read the next book. I’m fascinated by Sophie Jordan’s writing style and this series. I can’t wait to see what she puts Jacinda through next. I’m also intrigued by the hunters. I’m a little scared for Jacinda though because she has to face her kind again. I’ve always been fascinated with dragons, and I’m glad one author took my passion for dragons and made it a fictional story. If you like werewolves or shapeshifter stories you’ll love this book.

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
