A
hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.
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 Thoughts:
First off love the cover! That is the first reason why I
picked this off the shelf. I have to say I haven’t read very many dragon
stories and so found this very refreshing and fun. The turmoil in Jacinda was
very believable. And I loved Will. Plus, I’m always a sucker for a good love
story, and I’m really enjoying this one. I am so curious as to how they are
going to solve all their problems. Makes for a great series!
Note: rate this PG-13, a sweet romance that was clean. Four
stars.
With her mom's steady decline into depression, and the separation from her sister just to start, the pride's punishments to force compliance are doing more to damage than to tame Jace.
ReplyDeleteJacinda's increasing isolation and loneliness is only punctuated by the loss of Will and the knowledge that he won't remember why she left or worse forget her all together. But does the heart that truly loves ever forget.
