This book was very... middle of the road. It had great parts and it had not-so-great parts that balanced out with the great parts to make it so-so. For example, the romance was not the most passionate (save for a few explicit parts of the book) nor did it fill me with feels, but I still left the book satisfied. I didn't like the lack of backstory we were given on Bastien or Myst (also... her name. I mean really now. Why did it have to be Myst?) or even the whole Dragonkind for that matter. Why is there a split between the Nightfuries and the Razorbacks? What makes one a Nightfury or Razorback? Why the hell is one side of dragons named after a type of dragon from How to Train Your Dragon and the other one named after a pig? These are just a smattering of the questions that plagued me while reading this book, but nonetheless... it didn't suck. EXCEPT FOR THE NAMES I CANNOT ABIDE BY CLICHE AND AWFUL FEMALE LEAD NAMES! But I digress.
Wanna read it? Go ahead. Don't wanna read it? That's totally fine too. Honestly I'm just in this series for Wick's book. Which will hopefully be soon.

Despite the over-the-top adult language, this was a page turner. Good story

Completely adored this book. So excited to read the rest of this series. Love the world, and the Nightfuries... dragon shifters... doesn't get much better than that

The second half of this book was WAY better.
Fury of Fire took forever to finish. For some odd ass reason, I had the kindle version, where I could read or listen to it.. and somehow I chose reading over the audio?!?! I don't know but yeah - if you get this book from KU you should probably listen to it.
In this book, you will get to meet this little wolfpack of dragon shifters. Now this little wolfpack was pretty interesting. I get that they all love each other as family.. but I also feel like it's a little bit more too?? Not quite sure but maybe I'll find all of that out later in the series? Or maybe my whole though process is completely wrong.
Myst and Bastian's relationship was kind of unique. They fed off of each other's energy - which definitely intrigued me when their relationship was developing into something stronger. Bastian was a pretty bad ass character to meet. Yet, sometimes he annoyed me when he held something back. It was just the little things in this book where the main characters would just annoy me.
Speaking of annoyance, Myst was definitely annoying. The constant push and pull routine with her mind and heart was just annoying. Yeah, she instantly started developing feelings for a guy she didn't know that could shift into a dragon - SO WHAT? Then the whole baby naming dilemma was just MEH. Then she ran away because she was an idiot and needed "space" because these two are the worst communicators ever - and of course, she get's kidnapped.
The villain is this book was kind of okay too. The whole gene splicing was also interesting but is whole obsession with giving birth to a girl dragon was kind of anti-climatic. Again, it might just be me. Maybe my opinion will change if and when I dive into the next book.

I love all dragon shifter books that I've come across do so far, and this was no exception. Lovely first book in this series.

Oh Myst!
I loved the story and the tension throughout made for some excellent entertainment. But there were moments where Myst irked my nerves. Relax girl! Lol
