Warrior Dragon: An Action-Packed Urban Fantasy Romance
I’m a prisoner of my greatest enemy, more vulnerable than I’ve ever been before.
Lakas has me under his complete control, and he wants me to use the spell web to hurt innocent people. I determined to resist, but it’s not easy.
In the midst of this darkness, I find an unexpected new power.
Something so crazy, no one would believe me if I told them. I enter the shadow realm, a strange, dark otherworld where I meet a dragon shifter who’s been trapped for hundreds of years. She might just be the one who can get me out of my prison.
Except escaping is the least of my problems right now.
Director Holden is fortifying his position. Lakas is just as crazy for revenge as ever… and I’m not sure I have what it takes to be a warrior dragon anymore.
To survive, I’m gonna have to dig deep. To find a strength I’ve never had before….
It’s time to be the dragon shifter I was born to be.
The explosive final instalment in the Dragon Rising series…

Im going to do something i dont often do here and im going to leave a review for a book before i finish it.
Why?
Because its quickly turning in to one of the worst books i've read all year.
I got to chapter 17, grimmacing and rolling my eyes at several things before this but once i got to the end of chapter 17, i couldn't help but start furrowing my eyes in confusion.
Because the Author, evidently, can't do the simple thing of keeping a notepad on her desk that keeps track of what her characters know, who they know, and what the reader knows. Let me explain.
At some point in Chapter 17, Mei talks to Carrick. During this conversation Carrick says the following
"After you were kidnapped...There was a fallout. damien and Seth wanted Hazel to use her third wish from the genie to find you, and she refused. She released Mr. Fookes instead of finding you"
What Genie? Why did she refuse and why did Mei not question that or even so much as react to that information? Who the F is Mr. Fookes?????
And it gets worse. After this Mei says "She told me she promised Mr. Fookes she'd release him on the third wish. He would have disappeared otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find him again."
No?????????
At no point, ever, in the previous book or this one, did Hazel ever say that to Mei. No Genie was ever mentioned, this is the first im hearing of Mr Fookes or the genie for that matter.
You see what i mean by the author not keeping track of what their readers, or what their characters know?
I know that the author has another book series with Hazel as the Protagonist but this is just bad writing, simple as that.
That's not even all of it. In the following chapters we're introduced to Daphne, Iris, Poppy and Freddie and Mei acts like she's known them for a long time. She hasn't. This is the first time she's even known these people. How does she even know their names? They never introduced themselves.
Then, later still, Connor tries to get Hazel to "Make a new spell web". F-cking how!?!?!? Mei IS the spell web!? This was literally the whole point of the last book!? Hazel is a Chalice, shes able to control demons somehow, and thats the extent of her abilities. She is a red herring and nothing more. And now all of a sudden she can make a new spell web?
That combined with the line "Hazel loves her friends more than anything" in Chapter 20 and i frowned.
No????
At least, Not that Mei and thus the reader knows of.
Meis entire interaction with Hazel so far has been "Met her at SIG HQ, then got out with her and blade, she did some test on Mei at a mansion on a coastal mountain and then they went to Seths wedding together" and the entire time, she was with Meis immediate group. At no point did she ever give the impression of "Hazel loves her friends more than anything". In fact, if anything, Hazel very much seemed like the kind of person who would happily leave a friend behind if it meant her own survival if push came to shove, even if she might not feel happy about such a thing, she would probably do it. Thats the vibe she gave off in the previous book.
Finally there are the overall horrible direction the book took overall. The whole book so far has been Mei not doing anything because shes been captured. She wasn't part of some big major battle against some demons, she suddenly knows things she isnt supposed to know, suddenly Hazel is the focus. It feels like Mei has taken a backseat in her own book. Shes no longer important.
Thats like reading Harry potter and finally in the last book, it starts being from Rons perspective instead of Harrys.
Mei is no longer important, and if you've shifted the focus from one protagonist to another before the first protagonists series is over...IN HER OWN BOOK, then you've utterly failed.
