This one is just to weird for me. She swallows his tooth to get rid of cancer?? Just gets weirder from there. And honestly was pretty boring couldn’t keep my interest whatsoever. DNF at 98 pages.

Trying a new author for Coastal Magic Con. I’m interested in reading the next book in the series.

Things I liked:

Interesting magic system
Dragons
Gabriel’s brother

Things I didn’t like:

Raven and Gabriel insta-love
Raven had a very on again and off again relationship with her sister - one sided
Random time travel

I'm trying to figure out how this book won awards. It's so, so bad.

A dragon who acts like a human, a second chance at life for a female dying of brain cancer who can't be bothered to appreciate that it's a temporary reprieve unless she helps him break a curse. The world building is subpar, the characters are flat and uninteresting and even worse, ridiculous and boring.

Pass.

This is the first book I've gotten back into involving dragons and I loved the dragon realm that Genevieve created, it was so well written and I could see everything so clearly in my mind. I suppose the issue I had was connecting with the main characters on a romantic level as in I didnt see the jump coming from irritation to love, they just took an unexpected turn to love where as theres normally more of a build up. This threw me off for the rest of the story because it all seemed rush with their romantic connection from there. I am excited to see where the rest of the series goes though as it follows the rest of the siblings.

There are so many things that don’t make sense in this book. Little inconsistencies especially in the dialogue. Very annoying. Also I had expectations and this didn’t live up to those - too bad.

In terms of quick, popcorn reads, this was a pretty entertaining one. The Dragon of New Orleans by Genevieve Jack is a standard fare urban fantasy romance; bringing together an ancient dragon shifter with a modern, fiercely independent woman. Overall it was a fun ride, even if the villain left a little something to be desired.
One of my favourite sort of narrative tropes when it comes to urban fantasy romance, is this kind of magical age gap where you have ancient or immortal beings with old world sensibilities, like sworn oaths and blood debts, meeting and becoming enamoured with very modern partners, who rely on things like communication and autonomy. Such was the case here. Raven and Gabriel were endlessly entertaining as they tried desperately to navigate the waters of their burgeoning working relationship and growing attraction. Her figuring out what comes next in her life, and him slowly becoming aware he can’t just lock maidens in towers and they’ll be perfectly fine with it.
I did think that Crimson, the main antagonist, felt very cut and paste evil seductress. There was some attempt at making her sympathetic, but it felt extremely forced and as a result she kind of came off as more of a caricature of a villain rather than a fully realized one herself.
All in all I would still probably recommend this if you’re a fan of stories like the Sookie Stackhouse series, or other modern day magic type tales.
