I really liked it, like I always like her books. The storyline is very good. Only a few small things. The previous book was a while ago and I noticed that I didn't remember all the things that happened in the previous book. I know the mayor parts, but I thought that Dante was still caught or had to escape on his own or something like that. I can't remember how they split up and how he was home that much faster. Other thing was that the book was really short, 2.5 hours and I was done.
I hope the next book will be 300 pages, with in the extra pages a bit more focus on the friendship/relationship building.

I dunno maybe 3.5ish will fit better.
The first two-thirds were fine, engaging and a pretty fun ride overall.
But then something went a bit awry. That whole bomb with Anya's ancestry dropped hard. The things were rushed. And that mating omg whyyyyy. Oh, and Dante having the hots for her mother just ew. It doesn't feel right.
The story with Azazel is confusing as hell. They basically said i-love-you's and then the author decided to take him away. And he oh so conveniently can't touch Anya. That's sneaky, cause let's be honest he is the obvious best choice here.

Il libro passa dall'essere estremamente noioso ad estremamente accattivante, ma non abbastanza da farmi venire voglia di continuare la serie
One of the aspects of this author’s writing that I adore is that no matter what she writes, it’s unique and interesting. Add to that, she can write in a genre I am not too fond of (RH for example) and make me love the series. This series grabbed me from the beginning, and here we are at the second book, and I am trying to catch my breath. Things have really changed since book one, and we find out more about Anya and her past. Wow, and they were doozies! With the events at the end of this one, I’m really anxious to see what’s next. Oh, and before I forgot, I love the friendship between Anya and Helgi; there needs to be more girl friendships in books. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

I love the worlds and characters that Debbie Cassidy crafts - they are lush, full bodied and deep, offering multiple plot lines woven around a main story that, quite literally, sweeps the reader away. In recent months, Cassidy has gifted us numerous such books, yet the Dragon Guard series may be my favorite of the bunch. Anya, and her loyal best friend, Helgi, are two Alpha Women with guts and determination to spare - set in a world that presents them nothing but trouble.
Not only is this pair the ultimate in #FriendGoals, but they are taking a front seat to the epic changes that are soon to converge on this ravaged planet - and taking up prime roles in a resistance they knew nothing about. It's a journey from start to finish, with action abounding and unwanted attraction brewing. The past comes back to knock on their future, secrets are laid bare and the price of honor is exposed. It's a bit brutal, rough, adult oriented and wonderfully done.
Honestly, so much happens in this novel (though not enough to become overwhelming) that it's hard to nail down what I liked best in the review. There is now a trio of dragon love interests, along with a shadow from the past - and a stain on the future that is slapped at the reader with a cliffhanger ending that made me gasp. I'm always iffy on cliffhangers, but that one? That one I enjoyed. Not because it filled me with warmth, but because it opens up SOOOO many possibilities and muddles the trajectory I THOUGHT this plot was going in.... which is, quite frankly, typical Debbie Cassidy. =)

I am in love with this series so far - Anya may be my favorite FMC crafted by Cassidy yet. She is mature for her age, thoughtful, tough, determined, and open about who she is, if not what she is. The world is lush and vivid - and I can't wait to see where this goes.

Okay! Action and secrets being revealed GALORE in this one!!
Anya is still a badass and we are meeting our harem! Dante is the one that SEEMS like he will be mr sweetheart but I’m not sure how I’m feeling about that because of the mom revelation… like did they bang if they weren’t ever mated? Could get weird. Vesper seems like our lovable, sarcastic asshole. I love those characters. Yes he seems like a jerk, but seeing how the dragon queen controlled him when it came to Fenris I kinda get it. Did we need all the cheap shots at Dante? Probably not, but we don’t fully know their dynamic yet. Orion is giving me older, mentor kinda vibes, but we don’t know him yet since he was just introduced. I have a feeling he is going to be a big part in getting Anya trained and up to date on the culture. Also, how will Azazel fit into all of this???
But oof that ending. What does that mean for Anya and her new mates? The way I see it there are two ways this goes, the queen either comes back wanting the guys and all her power back and is someone Anya is going to have to work against. Or she is ready to pass the torch and is going to be fully prepared to help Anya in every way…. We will see how it goes!!
We have had a couple steamy kisses but I’m betting our spice starts in the next book!
