This is one of those books where the main character has been a hilarious side-kick throughout the series and finally gets his own story. Sometimes those books fall short because the person becomes less funny in their own book and filled with angst. That didn't happen here. Ravi, the dragon, was just as funny, energetic, and playful as he found his own mate. What a relief!
As the story begins Ravi, a blue dragon, accidentally outs the existence of dragons in a spectacular way. He thinks he's rescuing a plane in trouble, but is actually making his movie debut on accident. So, big dragon on film, lots of people, uh oh...
He can totally fix this:
"This is not the dragon you were looking for," he said in his most hopeful tone.
One woman's mouth fell open, and she lowered her phone a little. "Did - did you just try to do a Jedi mind trick on us?"
Ravi: "Did it work?"
Lady: "No."
Ravi: "Damn you, Obi Wan. You made it look so easy."
Yeah, any book that references Star Wars in a fun way is always going to win with me. Unless it's Jar Jar. You know how I hate him!

Anyway, there is a bigger story going on throughout the series and the bad guys are still trying to mess things up. Of course, I have to say that they aren't the smartest tools in the shed, so I'm feeling like the dragons will probably win. Maybe in the next book. Which, by the way, I want now.
Look, if you can't be entertained by a book that has a mini dragon that is in a war with the pigeon population then you have problems that I really caLook, if you can't be entertained by a book that has a mini dragon that is in a war with the pigeon population then you have problems that I really can't help you with.

So, Angel is a necromancer who has become way more powerful now that he is bonded with a vampire because of the necromancy that make a vamp a living corpse. He is such a badass now that the elusive council that supposedly rules sorcerers have decided to come to America to capture and use him for his powers have a chat. It goes about how you would expect.
[image] Ha! They thought cute little Angel wouldn't be a problem. Think again, buckos!
There is one thing to be said for this series for sure: there is a hella lot going on at all times. You will never be bored, so that's a plus, but it will also maybe make you appreciate your pandemic lifestyle because just following along with these guys is tiring. They would really benefit from a 2-week quarantine like we have since last year.

And get fat. Anyone out there who hasn't gained the Quarantine 15? I mean, you may not have noticed with the pandemic uniform of stretchy pants, but....yeah. it's there.
So there is a lot going on and it never gets boring. Also, the side characters are super intriguing. I am literally (not literally) excited for books on the other couples that are developing.
The only downside to this series is that there is a little too many explanations for things that you pretty much know if you've read this far. It's like someone mansplaining your period to you.

So, here's the deal. If I can't find food at the grocery store and I'm still having to boil water to make it usable, there is no way in hell I will spend time reviewing. But, I finished a couple of books lately.
This one was good. Fun. Great world. Dragons. That's all I've got....more
