“We all have ghosts. Not the floating specters that rise from lonely gravestones on a moonlit night. Not the mischievous spirits that rattle chains or stomp their invisible feet across attic floors. Sparked by emotion, bred by trauma, these shadowy phantoms attach with sticky grips and a heavy weight, and they’re damn hard to shake. Dragging on every step, cleaving to souls like a stubborn wad of gum; they cling, embrace, pollute.”

What I liked most about this story is that the shapeshifters were dragons. Most of the time shapeshifters are werewolves in stories. I also appreciated the strong female lead. Although this is a fantasy novel I felt like there was a lot of mystery and a bit of thriller in here too. Kept me interested the entire time. I think what I enjoyed most about this book is that it didn’t have that bubbly romantic feel to it like a lot of fantasy novels have. It was dark and stayed dark throughout the story.
