Summary/ product description: “It’s almost Valentine’s
Day, and Zoë Sorensson’s love life is heating up. Cute, loyal, and
understanding, wolf shifter Derek is pretty much the perfect guy. He likes Zoë,
and he knows what it’s like to have to keep a secret. Yet, Zoë can’t help but
wish it was rebel rocker Jared asking her to the Valentine’s dance instead. But
Jared’s too busy playing hot and cold with her heart, calling Zoë his dragon
girl one minute and then taking special interest in her best friend the next.
Zoë is just about ready to breathe fire, especially once she uncovers a new threat that targets her friends. Although Zoë thought the Mages were defeated, they’re back and have invoked an old spell to give them new power—they plan to eliminate all shape shifters on the night of the big dance. Now, Zoë must lead an alliance of young shifters to battle the Mages and figure out exactly what—and who—she wants, before it all goes up in smoke…”

My Rating: êêê1/2
My Review: Note that this book series is set in 2025
because it is a spin-off series of the author other dragon series (the one
about the Wyvern that was before Zoe).
This book was better than the 1st two. I
like the humor and some of the characters, but sometimes I found myself
confused with all the dragon stuff. Zoe’s a strong character, but the others
aren’t as much. I want to like this series, because it’s in Chicago and I
really love the Firelight series, but there’s just too much confusion, and the narration
can get annoying, even if it is funny and snarky. I feel like the author’s
trying too hard to be snarky. They didn’t portray Chicago in 2025 any different
from what it is now. Messengers instead of cell-phones is like nothing. There
needs to be more technology advancements!
I still did enjoy the book. I loved learning about all
the other shifter species. Especially the cat-shifters and their Egyptian
ancestors. I would love to hear Jessica’s story as a Bastian.
Overall, I recommend this series to people who like
reading about shape-shifters or dragons.
Cover Art Review: I like the dragon art on this book’s
cover. The smoke and swirls, but everything else is kind of boring and generic.
