When he runs into Elle, sparks fly, especially when he discovers her father is missing, too. Suspecting that their disappearances are linked, they must combine his Dragon power and her magick to find the truth in the darkest shadows.

Toot's Book Review by Stacy Sabala

This novella brings back together past lovers, Elle and Kirin.  Kirin is a dragon and has separated himself from his family by moving to Atlanta.  After Elle thought he chose his family over her, she broke his heart.  She blamed Kirin’s father for her mom’s disappearance.  When possible evidence surfaced, Kirin’s sister destroyed it and Elle knew that Kirin lied about seeing it.  She felt hurt and betrayed.  She turned her back on Kirin and walked away from him.

Now her father is missing and she believes Kirin’s father Stein is behind it.  This stems from her mother’s disappearance, she is sure of it.  Unfortunately she comes face to face with Kirin at her father’s factory.  He is back in town looking for his father who is also missing.  It can’t be a coincidence and they team up to find out what happened.  They encounter dangerous shadow magic and have to fight together to save her father. 

This was a quick read full of action and hurt feelings.  The characters still love each other but are unsure if they can be together with the complications that their families provide.  The story was a good but I felt it was too short.  It felt rushed.  I thought the characters jumped from emotion to emotion too quickly.  I will definitely read the next dragon book to see how the story continues when it follows Kirin’s sister in her quest to find out what happened to her father.
