Summary/ product description: “Jacinda was supposed to bond with Cassian, the "prince" of their pride. But she resisted long before she fell in love with Will—a human and, worse, a hunter. When she ran away with Will, it ended in disaster, with Cassian's sister, Miram, captured. Weighed down by guilt, Jacinda knows she must rescue her to set things right. Yet to do so she will have to venture deep into the heart of enemy territory.
The only way Jacinda can reach Miram is by posing as a prisoner herself, though once she assumes that disguise, things quickly spiral out of her control. As she learns more about her captors, she realizes that even if Will and Cassian can carry out their part of the plan, there's no guarantee they'll all make it out alive. But what Jacinda never could have foreseen is that escaping would be only the beginning....
Loyalties are tested and sacrifices made in the explosive conclusion to Sophie Jordan's Firelight trilogy.”

My Rating: êêêê1/2

My Review: I really wish this book was longer, because I want more so badly!!! It was an amazing conclusion, but I find it hard to believe that it’s over! SPIN-OFF SERIES PLEASE!!!!! (From Tamra’s perspective, preferably)

So the book starts where that last one left off. Jacinda get captured to rescue Miram. She’s inside a cage and there’s other Draki. And there this one Draki that has razor scales. It’s pretty cool and there’s a lot of action. And when she does escape, they’re on the run because the hunters are following a tracker. (I will not spoil everything) We get to see more of Will. I love Will. I love almost all the Wills in paranormal YA, and he’s no exception.

I’m not sure what else to say, honestly. It was a great book. I loved it. Read it. How about I just finish the review?

This series is awesome because the whole take on dragon shape-shifters. I’m still confused about how a Draki would look. Just a person with scales, wings and slit eyes? Claws maybe?

I recommend this series if you love Evernight or Nightshade.

Cover Art Review: Jacinda on the cover again. Love the hair and awesome scales and eyes. She looks like a demon/vamp/mermaid, but we know she’s Draki! Once again, and amazing title! The turquoise complements that red. The swirls and candle embellishments look cool.

Jacinda reveals her draki side to Will and the hunters, but is saved by her sister’s amazing twist of fate-her manifest as a shader. Jacinda and her family return to the Pride. The expect them to behave submissively. Tamra is being trained with her new abilities. Jacinda is being watched by her peers. Cassian still loves her, and Corbin is interested in her, but also her sister. Jacinda misses Will. One night Will shows up and the Pride thinks he’s a lost hiker, so they try to make him forget. (I won’t spoil anymore)
I really like, love this series. It’s so unique. I love the whole dragon shape shifter thing. This book is as good as the first, if not better. There’s not much I can say about it other than that it’s awesome and you should read the series if you like unique paranormal romances or dragons.
Art Review:
This is one of the best covers I have seen this year. That’s Jacinda’s sister Tamra on the cover. It like the pearly make up and the hair. The slit eyes are cool. I love the text font for the title. It looks great in purple. I really wish I bought this book. lol
