There's a serial killer stalking dragon shifters in Sea City, and pretty boy Detective Lachlan Flint wants my help tracking the killer down. I'm a dragon shifter myself. Penny Caspian's the name. But I'm trying to lie low, not run around interrogating half the dragon community-or one dragon in particular. My ex. Yeah, I left my destined mate. I know, I know. Dragons don't do that. Trust me. It's better this way. This detective, though, he's not taking no for an answer. Did I mention he's pretty? But haunted and hiding something. There's some deep-down trouble in that boy's hollow eyes, and I got enough trouble of my own. Vampire motorcycle gangs. Wounded gargoyles. Locked dragon crypts. Maybe it's because I saw that shifter's broken body, washed up on the beach. Maybe it's her dead, empty eyes. It's something, the hell if I know what, but I am going to find that killer. This is my city, and I look after my own. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Unfortunately, while the synopsis ticked many of my fluff-read boxes, they didn't mesh together for me. The story and writing were decent. I thought Penny and Lachlan had some chemistry, and I was mildly curious to see the solution to the mystery. On the other hand, I wasn't really engaged by the characters, which made it difficult to worry much about them or their fates, or even get that excited by the romance. I wasn't spurred on by the mystery; I generally need to read though mysteries quickly because I want to learn the solution, but that didn't happen here. The pacing of the plot also was rough, with too much text devoted to sequences that could have been covered in a couple of paragraphs (the visit to Penny's family burial site) and a lack of suspense before the climactic fight, which dragged on for too long. Overall, the premise of the novel sounds awesome, but in my opinion it wasn't executed well. ( )
