I have to be honest with you guys. I was not a fan of the first book in the series, and I was not looking forward to reading this one because of that. However, Kiss of Fury took on a more basic paranormal romance pace that I'm used to, instead of a bunch of dragon chaos that I got in the first book.One thing I find interesting about this series is that this isn't just a story about dragon shifters finding their mates. The Pyr are around to help protect the earth and its inhabitants. There are2.5 starsThis series is nothing more than light urban fantasy/paranormal romance with dragon shapeshifters. It's set in the contemporary world which is neat and there is a very murky over arching background plot beyond the main romance of each novel.I really appreciate how the female characters of this series, this book especially are very capable and work as partners with their male lead. This protagonist is smart. She's an inventor or something of some kind. But she is not like repressed or
I was actually looking for Gena Showalter's books on my shelves when I figured out that I have this one, and well, they were a little bit alike so I thought what the hell, I should just read this one given that I've already read Quinn's story, and it can't get any worse (actually it can, but keep up with my optimism for a while, it rarely presents itself).It has been a while since I read Kiss of Fire so I forgot a little the mechanism of the world of the Pyr. I didn't feel like I missed on
I went into this book enamored with the series, but this book turned out to have many disappointing facets.First, there were the glaring continuity errors. Alex barefoot at the lab with glass crunching underfoot was the first and worst.Then there were the factual errors. Changing the shape of a head gasket would not change anything in how the engine runs--except maybe to leak everywhere--since a gasket of any kind is nothing more than a seal. If she meant the heads, that wouldn't alter the way
These books are really not for me. Kiss of Fury reads a lot like a contemporary novel that stumbled into the paranormal aisle. Author Deborah Cooke sets up an interesting race of dragon-men and even the gurgling, babyish beginnings of a mythology (The Great Wyvern as a mother goddess), but like her characters, this world's undeveloped beyond the bare bones. She's established the "firestorm," a literal spark of flame () that indicates a dragon's found the mate who will make him vulnerable, kind
I thought this book was better than the previous one in the series (Kiss of Fire). The plot has improved marginally in that it kept me somewhat interested to finish it. However, the female dragon, Sophie, drives me NUTS!!! She just fades in and out as she pleases. Even though her mandate was not to interfere, she did it anyway for the good of the race and earth as a whole. Her behaviour and actions were not consistent. I kept thinking back to the previous book, where she was taken and tortured
I really liked the heroine. She "saves" herself and believes in going after what she wants. Plus she's invented something to make the world a better place.The conflict between the Pyr and the Slayers is (forgive the pun) heating up. The Slayers are doing unrepentantly evil things and seem to always have a card up their sleeve. This book moves the story forward, gives you a nice romance and sets you up for future conflict.
