Dragonwalker

Dragonwalker #1

by Lee Benoit

Endi has lived in the same small town his whole life. He walks and grooms dogs for a living, tries to keep up with the sprawling old house his grandparents left him, manages a boyfriend, and tries like heck to hide his crush on the town's fire chief. Pretty ordinary, right? But Endi's always hoped for better than "ordinary." One day, he meets a mysterious new friend and his canine clients start sprouting wings and spewing fire. Can the motley collection of pooches really be dragons?

About the author

Before dawn and after dark, Lee Benoit is a writer of queer fiction, some contemporary, some speculative, some historical. During the daylight hours she is a professor of sociology & anthropology. In the old days, Lee traveled the world doing field research. Nowadays, she lives in the middle of a New England hayfield where being a two-spirit single parent provides more than enough excitement. Lee also paints watercolors, bakes wild-yeast sourdough bread, and shares her bed with a pair of cats and an abjectly adoring hound-retriever mutt. Whenever she gets itchy feet and misses the world of research and advocacy, Lee invents a new world in her head and takes notes on what happens there.

The idea of the dogs turned into dragons intrigued me. I didn't care much for the characters though; Endi was way too gullible and simple to my way of thinking, and Chief let his love interest to be the town's convenient boy - if you catch my drift - before actually claiming him for his own. This was a sucky May December romance for me. On the other hand, Endi's penchant in handling dogs/dragons was applaudable and made for interesting story.

I read this in the car on the way to my mother-in-law (not to worry, I wasn't driving) and thought that I would do a quick read about dragonshifters so that I could cross that off on my Shelf-A-Thon, but that would be cheating in my world cause this is not a shifter story. Sure there are dragon shifters but still...Endi is a dog walker and the town slut. One day while blowing a guy he sees wings on the guy's dogs. Later on his dog is puffing smoke and suddenly most of the towns dogs turns into dragons. Endi tells everyone about it and ends up on the psyke ward but then all hell breakes loose.

I didn't like this very much, sorry. Endi was plain dumb and I didn't get the point with the story. Why were the dragons there in the first place?

Fun, I look forward to the other installments.

"...There's one more thing, Endi."
I brace myself.
"No more blow-job roster." :D
