Book Blurb
From This Day Forward is the second story in the Derkesthai Academy Dragon Shifter series--a hot contemporary paranormal romance series with mystery and suspense elements where dragon shifters hunt a magickal hoard thief who threatens to bring down the entire dragon mage race. In the small town of Mystic Springs, only love and betrayal can show true character and the best signs are those hidden. Join April and Noah as they fight an unidentified evil who threatens everything they value.
Noah Easton, a Special Forces dragon shifter, escapes the torture of a hoard thief bent on stealing dragon hoard stones and their elemental power from the mages who possess them, but the situation becomes personal when the hoard thief targets April, the woman he loves. He must return to his hometown of Mystic Springs to protect his own hoard from a magickal threat he cannot identify before he loses everything.
April is a modern day oracle. She reads tea leaves and just about anything else that can predict coming events. However, past abandonment issues make her resistant to reading her own signs. But when evil comes to Mystic Springs, April must face her biggest fears of abandonment and betrayal in order to save what’s most important to her. Only by studying the past and owning her future can she stop a magickal criminal who threatens to steal everything she’s ever loved and destroy the one dragon mage who holds her heart always and forever.
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
April Easton is an oracle and she knows something big is coming. Her family is full of women with unique powers and she has been trained since she was small. However, she fears her power and wishes she didn’t have it. She really doesn’t want to see images of the future or have the added responsibility. She tries to ignore ever sign thrown at her. Her grandmother always warns her that knowing prepares her.
Her husband Noah is a member of the Delta Force and a dragon mage. Being a dragon makes him almost invincible. The only thing that can kill him is another dragon.
So imagine his surprise when he is taken by another magickal. He is chained in a cave trying to figure out who the woman is and what she is trying to do.
He is shocked when she mentions his family. He has tried hard to bury the connection to keep them safe. Now he must escape in order to protect them. They will be in great danger.
I liked this novella. The storyline was unique and I am excited to see where the author takes it. However, April really got on my nerves as a heroine. She irritated me when she refused to accept her power and her strength. She wanted to hide her head in the sand. Her fears were ridiculous considering what her life was like when her husband was in the field. She was so strong otherwise. The relationship she had with Noah was hot and exactly the way it should be. Noah only had eyes for his wife. It was a quick read with lots of action. I give it a 3 out of 5.
