Later in the evening the door flies open and no one is there and he turns to an old woman who says, "It starts with you, child of the ancients." How did they go from the Bronx to Ridgefield, and then down to New Jersey before making their way to Pennsylvania and then up to the Allighenies (located in New York). By the Blue Ridge Mountains which are in North Carolina or did the DOOM screw with geography too?"
"Instead just focuses on one character and that characters journey. I have to ask if none of the other characters already in the story could do that? There are still several characters, several story lines, all related, but told very well separately."
"In most of these, the characters were interesting enough for me to enjoy reading the books even if they felt a bit lighter in content and a bit rushed, too, over the last couple of series. We'll see... Bottom line, if you like darker stories and don't mind characters disappearing suddenly--and you like Nora Roberts books--you may find this enjoyable."
"Never heard or read anything by this author and heard that it was similar to “The Stand”..( my favorite book ever), so I was excited to read this... but was (thankfully) quickly turned off by the bad writing , I only made it to 16%. It felt like Nora Roberts took the plot of TS and said to herself,” I’ll make it different by adding unexplained silly magic, elves, wizards, witches, and unicorns!”... yes people, you heard right- UNICORNS."
The Cadmium dragon has found his mate, and now he’s on the hunt. So when her truck breaks down and help is nowhere to be found, she follows her heart, and lets Cadmium take her in for the weekend.

"Loved. Spin. Types. Women especially since. Colored women too. love. Stories and how. And would love to see different types of women! And I'm a. Curvy women and."
"I love how this story progresses and Cadmium and Casey work towards their HEA ending."

They say nothing about where Ben got the scars all over his body from his torture at the hands of Claudia, and at Sofia's request, there's no mention of the vampires or The Shade. But it was also nice to see the effect that Sofia had on him when she returned, to find him in a compromising position with Ashley. Sofia has learned a lot about how things are run in the Shade and has read it's history, and it doesn't sit well with her. I'm also looking forward to learning more about the prophecy made by Cora, the witch, over four hundred years ago, and what it means to Derek and Sofia, and to the Shade."
"Bella Forrest was very kind to provide me with a free copy of the book for an exchange of an honest review on Goodreads. I fell in love with the characters and I was soooooo disappointed when the book REALLLLY started getting super good--it ended."
"After the first couple books I became very annoyed it was constantly the same major plot 'the main couple decide it is better for the other to separate, take off, are reminded that the world can't be saved without them together. It just should have just ended first couple books in."
"Sofia's last words to Derek was "Please don't hurt them"...Sofia returns to The Shade now knowing how to get there because Dereks Twin sister gave Sofia some of her memories, which led her right back to Derek..Viv got caught and Derek and all of The Shade had a very touching Death Ceremony for her...jumping ahead of myself lol...Sofia walks in on Derek as he is tearing the throat out of one of her friends,and talking off his clothes to have his way with her..She is very angry and conflicted where he is concerned...I know Derek's brother Lucas is a bad ass but I feel for the guy, because he thinks he should be ruling The Shade and not his brother..Lucas has tasted Sofia's blood and tried to rape her...That being said he cannot get her out of his mind and has left The Shade in fear for his life, because he know's Derek will kill anyone who hurts Sofia...I cannot say enough about this series but I REALLY DO NEED THE REST OF THE SERIES LIKE THIS YEAR!!!!!!"

"***4.5 Stars***. I must admit that I while I was excited to dive back into the Dragon’s Gift world, I was also a little hesitant because as much as I enjoyed Cass, Nix and Del’s as a whole, I had my fair share of ups and downs with each and really hoped that I’d start out on the right foot with this one and I’m happy to say I had nothing to worry about! Bree and Ana’s stories (though Bree is the main focus right now) started out with a bang and though there were a few slow parts (a total it’s not you, it’s me thing) I had a great time meeting and learning about this new group of characters and this new. I really liked Bree and Ana from the first time I met them in Nix’s journey and learning about what they’d been through as children and all that they’ve been doing since made me like them even more."
"Throwing random fantasy characters in wherever you feel like it doesn't strengthen the already weak attempt at plot development."
"As usual the author transports her readers around the world with castles and canals amongst the places we visit. I know that Bree and Ana are technically known as Unknowns throughout his first book but observent readers will notice a huge clue although for this reader it was the introduction of Djinn in this story that had me jumping up and down because I'm so hoping the author will return to them ."
"I must agree with another reviewer who characterized the writing as juvenile."

"I also didnt like how things were between Sofia and Ben once they returned to their "normal" lives. Ben didnt deserve Sofia and reading his POV made me dislike him even more. He was selfish and bitter and I almost wish some of his parts could have been omitted but that wouldnt have made such a great story.

"Sofia is faced by a choice, whether to choose love and life with Derek in his world or choose freedom in hers…. My heart broke for Derek when Sofia chose a life in the human world and left Derek. It was the only way for her to realize how much she really needs him to be happy. But I still wish she hadn’t gone – to a reader the separation of the main characters seems like such a waste of words – ALL you concentrate on is waiting for the couple to get back together…. Bella Forrest was able to make to wait interesting though. Who did he have to fight for to be a better person once the person he wanted to be better for was gone?"
