Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every
move is watched. She longs for the freedom to make her own choices, but when
she breaks the 'no flying' rule, 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 defence is her
secret ability to shift into human form. And her rare ability to breathe fire
makes her desirable, and important, to the survival of the draki. Forced to
flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her
new surroundings. There she meets 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 slipping away, and 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.
Rating 5*- I treated myself to this novel when in London,
Christmas shopping. This is one of the best novels I have read this year. The
unique dragon mythical creatures are so different to every other supernatural
story, which seems to mix between vampires and angels. I was totally gripped
from the beginning and I have ordered the second instalment in the trilogy.
The main protagonist, Jacinda, is a fantastic and likeable
character. Alongside Will, the two gel well together and creates a romantic
side to what is perhaps quite a dark plot. Jacinda is being hunted for her special
talent and being the only drake left in her family (her mother and sister cannot
turn) it enables a very unique twist to what usually comes to mind when
thinking of dragons.
