Slayer Chronicles #2

by Val St. Crowe

Clarke Gannon does not want to be involved with dragon-shifter Naelen Spencer. Seriously. No matter how broad his shoulders are, or how much self-professed groveling he does, or how devoted to her he claims to be, she’s not interested. When her ex, gargoyle Logan Gray, shows up asking her to run away with him, she feels as though she ought to take him up on his offer, but something’s holding her back. It’s not Naelen, though. Really, it’s not. She’s glad to have a distraction when Naelen tells her about some scientists who have been doing experiments on rogue dragons in a remote lab in the Colorado mountains. Now, the dragons have escaped into the facility, and they’re killing anyone that comes across their path. Killing dragons is what Clarke’s good at. She’d rather stare death in the face than try to deal with her confusing love life. And that’s exactly what she plans on doing.

Reviews

[Kevin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book dragged quite a bit. Clarke can’t decide whether to be with Logan or Naelen. She goes back and forth in her mind and on the page, and she dreams or reminisces about earlier times with Logan.
The rest of the book dealt with killing rogue dragons.
Typos: a couple missing words (door the bathroom, be in love me), an extra letter (noise in this throat).

I really liked book 2 and now i want to read the third book in the series and the fourth

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was nit disappointed with this second book. I really wish Clarke would stop skirting around who she really loves. Though I admit the way naelen treated her was deplorable especially after all they'd been through. So perhaps uncertainty isn't completely unwarranted.

Val has done it again another great book


Clarke the dragon slayer has to find a way to get her sister clean off drugs. She agrees to help a dragon find his missing sister and the adventure begins. A power hungry vamp, a lab full of rouge dragons,and battling feelings for ex lover logan and her feelings for her dragon.

I enjoyed the first book. A new series, a new author. This book is like a bad horror movie with everyone trapped in the house and they just keep dying. 85% of the book followed this story line. Not as good as the first.
