Heather's Notes
This story was really short. To be honest this is not actually a story, it is part of a story. I did like Asher and Melinda. I will continue to read the series.

Amazing!
I have never read anything by Caroline Hale before. This book was great! I really enjoyed it.
The book revolves around a witch that has no powers. She's tried and tried to cast a spell that works but repeatedly fails. She is bullied. Even worse, her father is famous. She is plagued by the same dream every night. In it, a boy her age. One day while closing at the library she works at, a book falls on the floor. This is where the story gets going.
I don't want to spoil the book for you. I will tell you that she will have several mysteries to solve, deal with betrayal, save herself and someone she cares about. The story will have you in different realms of time. And, there is shape-shifting and lovemaking.
You really will enjoy Lindy and Asher's adventure and hunt for the truth. This is part of a series. See you in number two.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! I am so disappointed that this book is only 63 pages long!!! This story is so good I love how original it is. I am going to have dreams about this for sure.
I want to get the next books in the series, they are only 99 cents on the Kindle.
I highly recommend this series to anyone into paranormal romance.

Really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read, but even more so bc I didn't want to put it down. The only thing I didn't like about it was the way the author tries to explain the beginning of Melinda and Asher's relationship. I felt like we needed more info, more details. But all in all it is a good book and I'm looking forward to reading then next in this series.

Interesting start
Story is rather disjointed,but with so , much potential I will read on just to see how it shakes out.The Dragon king is held in a dream world and only a witch with no magic can free him.

Wonderful
Love reading about dragons,witches, and magic. This was a great book and once you start reading, it's hard to put it down. I would recommended it to anyone who loves reading a book about paranormal.

Huh well this was disappointing. I'm desperate to find a dragon book to love and this one had potential but frankly I was just disappointed.
The world builidng is ridiculous, the characters a superficial and show absolutely no development and the story is predictably lame.

i once read somewhere that its just as difficult to write a bad book than a good book. but i have to say the writing style of this author is broken, nothing flows and the descriptions of things are just... wrong. this book had potential, but i wont be buying the rest of the series.

Hmmm...great start...the Heroine though, one minute she's mad, the next she's going along with the plans....let's see in the next book how it goes.

meh. Writing is not so bad, it's the whole world building that is quite unbelievable and pretty much pushing me off.
