I had things to do and a father to kill. 10 GOLD HEARTS
Life for Dragons never worked out easily. I knew this, but I was a Dragon who didn’t lose. Luck didn’t play into my life, so I had to believe this was fate. HOLEY DRAGON SMOKE ON A STICK!! WHAT A SHIFTABULOUS STORY!! And WOW!! Shift Happens indeed!! *snort* As much as I would love to say "it was a hot mess on a sharp stick." that fits Junior too PAWFECTLY to use elsewhere!! Okay, I confess! I just really enjoy quoting Robyn! :-) I was so frelling excited to get to read Dima's story that I didn't DRAGON my feet one iota!! As soon as I got it, I started reading... and reading... and reading until I reached my two most hated words "The End". Except this time they were only disliked because of the two little words that followed them "for now". The End… for now. That I can deal with. wink On to my thoughts for No Were to Run: ..... *crickets chirping* ... *RROOAARR* There is so much I want to say, hoards even, but I can't BECLAWS I need to keep it protected and safe and I don't want anything to leak out! There are more than enough twists & turns, surprises & shocks to knock you speechless! There is the trademark Robyn humor and PAWESOMENESS, DRAGONTASTICALLY blended with love, lust, the good, the bad, the gorgeous and powerful and even a deadly sexy Dragon dude! Don’t forget the one handsome little man, too! You'll find friends both new & old like the Wolves & Vampyres, even the Werecows, who may or may not cause a SCENTSATION! I actually wrote this part while trying to calm myself enough to finish the story!: To give you a taste of just how sucked into this story I was, there was one section - maybe 3 or 4 scenes - that had me bawling so hard, I couldn't breathe! To be that entrenched, that engrossed, that connected with the story, with the characters, to the point WERE their adventures are my adventures, their pain is my pain, their happiness is my happiness, their naughtiness was my… okay, that part I just wished for!, but that should tell you two things: 1 - this is one DRAGON MATERRIFIC story and 2 - it is the most absolute proof I can give you to try to define the undefinable – this truly is one SHIFTACULAR book of EPICAL DRAGON proportions!!! Robyn is so GINORMOUSLY talented and so exceptionally genuinely gifted that it is indescribable! There just isn’t enough words or even the correct words to accurately and proficiently define or convey the immense power, hilarity, uniqueness, the connection, the OBSESSION I have with her characters and their worlds, and the books as a whole! You really do have to read her books – ANY of her books – and you will then understand exactly what I mean, that I am NOT exaggerating and then you will also see just how freaking talented Robyn is! I actually had the immense pleasure of reading all of Robyn’s books – again – before I started this one and I STILL LOVE EVERY SINGLE BOOK SHE HAS WRITTEN! In fact every time I re-read them, they just keep getting better & better and more WONDEROBYNFUL! Robyn is so phenomenally talented & exceptionally gifted its freakingcrazyasscanoeinsane!! But after reading No Were to Run, I have to say that Robyn has grown & even evolved as an author too! There is a different level of depth and enrichment with Dima's story that is difficult to quantify, but when you read it, you will know what I mean. IN MY EXPERT OPINION, THIS IS ROBYN’S BEST BOOK EVER!! (and that is saying A LOT!) Don't worry though! This book is still what I like to refer to as being ROBYNIZED! Meaning that there is still all of the same old zany hilarity, creative language and awesomeness that you love & have come to expect in a Robyn Peterman book, only now there is even MORE story to go with it! Trust me, I am BRAGGING that I am this affected by the story!! I LIVE for books like this, where I am so deep inside it I can't tell which are my feelings & reactions or the characters projecting them onto me... although with how WERETASTICALLY written this story is, it is all one and the same! I didn’t just read this story, I LIVED it alongside the characters,*pssfht* I BECAME the characters, experiencing their adventures both with and AS them! I am completely, wholly, utterly consumed – mind, body & soul! So quit DRAGON your feet! You have No Were to Run, except to your bookseller of choice to buy this book!! This Seer has foreseen it!
