Blood of the Drakon #7
Drakon's Knight
Drakon Jericho Drake, the child of a pure-blood dragon and human, has a simple Kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon and start a war. Except, when he meets his target, Karina Azarov, she can’t remember who she is. Worst of all––he can’t kill her. His dragon side has just claimed the dangerous woman as his mate.
Karina has no idea why these Drakon’s have taken her to their home. And she most certainly does not understand why she’s so drawn to her captor. Maybe because he’s strong, intelligent, and caring, in his enigmatic sort of way. One thing she knows, he’s not going to hurt her. If only she could remember something from her past that would explain why these Drakon’s hate her so much.
But if her memory returns, mated or not, he may get his war.. And one of them will die.

Drakon’s Knight is book seven in the Blood of the Drakon series by N.J. Walters. FINALLY I came back and finished this series. This was the final book and it was epic! I think it’s my favorite of the series!
Karina Azarov is the head of the Knights of the Dragon, a secret organization that hunts and captures dragons for their own use. If you drink the blood of a drakon regularly, you can live forever. And it will heal any physical ailments you might have. Karina is also the older sister of Valeriya whom we met in a previous book.
Jericho Drake and his three best friends are all drakons. They have been together for thousands of years, trust each other and are as close as any family could be. Their current mission is to kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon to cripple their organization. But when they cause the car to crash that Karina is traveling in, and Jericho hears her voice, he knows he can never harm her. He is drawn to her because she was specifically made for him. She is his mate. And she has no idea who she is. She lost her memory in the crash.
Karina soon learns that her entire life has been a lie. And that the only person she can really trust is the man who kidnapped her. She is drawn to him in a way she doesn’t understand.
What a fitting end to this series, with the leader of the Knights whom we have grown to despise over the previous books. And I loved these four men (drakons!) I’m hoping to somehow see them again at some point in the future. Once again, this was a total page turner from start to finish as the other three men are forced to trust their most hated enemy. Jericho has no choice because trust or not, he can never hurt her. Once again we have a strong, brave woman and a man who is willing to go to the ends of the earth to protect her. This is such a wonderful series. If you haven’t started it yet, now’s the perfect time!
“She was his. Now and forever. He would never let her go.”

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I loved this book, and I will be buying it since already own the rest of the series!
The cover is mysterious and beautiful.
This is the 7th book in this series. It is not necessary to read the books in order, but you may find you want to read them in order because characters do pop up from previous books. I know I like when you know the history and who’s who. This is for adults only due to the steamy content and violence.
Jericho has a plan that they have under way, but fate has different plans. Karina doesn’t know who she is, but she knows she isn’t a good person or at least she wasn’t. She is trying to figure out who she is, and Jericho is trying to figure out how to handle what is going on. There is secrets and treachery afoot. This book grabbed my attention, and I couldn’t put it down. I love this new group of drakons. They are brothers of the heart. This book had plenty of drama, action, and secrets. I can’t wait to read more about them, and to see what the bad guys do next.
I highly recommend to all dragon shifter fans because this world has everything you want! N.J. Walters writes an awesome world that I love getting lost in! I love my trips into her world! I need more!

4.5 - "I'm not a good person... am I?" Stars!
Another great addition to this series. Karina Azarov finally gets her story told in more detail, and we are introduced to four new growly, gorgeous alpha Darkons; Jericho, Sadiq, Enoch and Khalil.
If there was a way to win her love, to gain her trust, he would do it...
And sparks fly when the woman you perceive to be your biggest enemy, turns out to also be your mate!
"I can't trust myself around you... I want to believe you... but I can't be objective."
Hopefully that means we will be getting another couple of books from N. J. Walters so they have their stories told as well.
"I'm done being controlled."

Perfect afternoon read. The ending was a bit sloppy but the story had a fantastic heroine so I’m a very satisfied reader 😁
June 24, 2019
I have been following this series since day one and I’ve been falling in love with these crazy possessive drakons with each new installment. Drakon’s Knight was a surprise to me, especially when I read the blurb and did a double take when I saw Karina Azarov playing the role of heroine!
Yeah, I was a bit nervous diving into this one because the author did a really good job of making Karina an evil baddie for basically the whole series. So I wasn’t sure how she was going to redeem her or even if she could.
But it turns out I had nothing to worry about because NJ Waters managed to show a completely different side of Karina and actually made me cry over her! Long story short I ended up really liking our heroine and totally ended up sympathizing with her. In the crazy world of the Knights of Dragon, Karina had to do some crazy shit to survive, throw in underhanded manipulation and blackmail at such a young age and it’s no wonder she came out so cold and calculating.
Finding herself without her memory and at the mercy of a scary group of guys that aren’t shy to show their distrust, suspicion and in one case, outright hatred towards her, Karina has to find out what kind of person she was and what kind of person she wants to be, going forward.
I felt like this story was a lot more emotionally angsty then the others were. Jericho’s loyalty being split down the middle was definitely heart breaking. Feeling like he had to choose between (a possibly evil) Karina and the only family he’s ever known was legit. But I kind of loved that he refused to give up on her and the possibility of a “them”. I love when the Hero is the one that decides to go all in first and even though he was scared of the outcome, Jericho didn’t fight his feeling for her. He accepted her as his and there was no turning back for him. It wasn’t easy for him to know the one person who makes him feel whole is also the one person who could destroy his family. Definitely a rock and hard place situation.
The story does have some OTT elements but I didn’t have a problem looking the other way when things got a bit cray-cray. I’m excited about the new group of drakons we meet! Hope this means there will be more books in the near future :)

Yeah! Another installment of this unique world. I just love all of the Drakon books so far. This one made me wonder if I would like it though given the female lead is so awful in the previous books. Karina had a long way to go for redemption in my eyes.
Never fear, the author gave just the perfect read between Karina and Jericho. Of course a little magic, a fated mate and some kick a$$ Drakon's would have made it a worthy read any way.
My only issue with the book was that it seemed to rush to the finish once the battle scene was done. I ended the book and though-- is this it--the end of the series?? That was the vibe I got but I would be thrilled if we get to see the rest of Jericho's team find their mates as well. I also would have loved seeing Jericho and his biological brother's first meeting and relationship building. One can only dream, right!

I thoroughly enjoyed DRAKON’S KNIGHT. It’s the seventh book in N.J. Walters’ Blood of the Drakon Series. I recommend reading the books in order, but each book can be read as a stand-alone. When I picked up DRAKON’S KNIGHT I was unsure if I would like Karina because I didn’t like her in the previous books, but I found myself admiring her. Jericho and Karina story was full of passion, mystery and danger and I couldn’t put it down. N. J. Walters’ paranormal world of drakons (half dragons/ half men) and the evil knights that hunt them is a unique paranormal series that I highly recommend for paranormal romance lovers looking for a great dragon shifter series. I’m hooked!

Karina was marked for death by the Drakon's because she's the leader of the Knights of the Dragon but when they pull her from the car crash, Jericho can't kill her because his dragon has claimed her as their mate. When the Drakon's talk to her they find out that she can't remember who she is or what she does. She has no idea why they would want to kill her. Even more curious is a tattoo on her that has a big wound through it from the crash that the Drakon's find is magical in some way. She's been having horrible migraines and has been taking pills for it but the pills aren't what they seem either. So she's been lied to by the Knights and didn't realize that either.
Jericho knows she could get her memory back at any time and he and his team members know they can't trust her because of who she is but she's not what they expected at all. The Knights of the Dragon kidnap the Drakon who are half dragon half human and drink their blood to heal themselves and live longer. Drakon's can shift into a dragon so that's another reason they are caught, caged and experimented on. So there's a real problem with keeping Karina around since her people will be looking for her.
When they all finally come face to face with the person who has really been pulling the strings behind the scenes for the Knights of the Dragon, a shocking revelation will be revealed. Poor Karina has been lied to and manipulated for years and she didn't even know it.
There were so many secrets and twists right from the beginning of this story and I was excited to see where it all was going. The second half of this book was filled with so many twists and turns, lies and intrigue that I never knew exactly where it was going. This is the 7th book in this series and while it would be better to start reading from the beginning, you can read this book and still understand what's going on.

Drakon's Knight was my first book by N. J. Walters and I loved it. Jericho and Karina are amazing, well developed characters. I also loved his best friends and can't wait to read their stories. I'm also going back to the beginning because I really want to read the first books about Drakons.

What a set up! Jericho Drake, a bad ass biker dragon shifter assassin sets out to kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon, an organization that captures and tortures dragons for their magical blood. But when he meets his target, he discovers she's mate. What's an an assassin to do?
Throw in a little amnesia, magical tattoos, a family you'd never want to be a part of, and you get quite a few twists and turns.

Drakon's Knight, book number 7 in the Blood Of The Drakon series. Is one that while beguiling on the romantic sense. Falls rather short when it comes to action, world building, and character development.
Ringing in on opposite sides of an already untenable situation. We have Drakon Huntress extraordinaire, Karina Azarov.
Leader of the Knights Of The Dragon, and first in line to kill any and all Drakons.
Pitted against her seriously hunky adversary turned love interest. One Jericho Drake.
Who, as fate and the dragon powers- that- be would have it. Have made it his mission to kill.
But...
Surprise of all surprises. When the time comes to do the dastardly deed. He can't.
Because his dragon recognizes her as his mate.
She, on the other hand. Is not recognizing anything. Not even herself.
Anybody want to hazard a guess as to why?
Well...
Those of you who guessed amnesia, get the cookie.
Complicating matters further is the mystery of the strange tatoo on her shoulder. Which is believed to be a ward of some sort.
A ward that is now broken or diminished. Due to Jericho's earlier attempt on her life.
Great little oberos we have going there, huh?
Strangely enough however. With the mysteries of her identity, the whereabouts of the people who may or not be searching for her, and the secret of her tattoo looming large.
The one thing that Karina does seem to rely on as her North Star in this convolution of uncertainty is her undeniable attraction to Jericho.
Which sends the plot into the pit of romantic quicksand.
Excluding action scenes, exploration of Jericho's dragon form, and all manner of plot enriching elements which could have been employed here.
Thereby changing what could have been a very rich and fully expressed story into something...
Much less.
In short.
Acquire love interest.
Inta-love
Ensure that insta-love is true on both sides.
Have sex.
Have more sex.
Tie up all loose story elements by book's end.
Cue HEA.
The IKEA version of romance.
The story is good.
With just a little more work. It could be better.
But as it stands, is a far cry from it's best.

DRAKON’S KNIGHTS is full of mystery, romance, and suspense. In this book, Karina Asarov, the head of the Knights of the Dragon, is traveling to a spa getaway when her car is flipped and she is taken by Drakons (who had intended to kill her). The Knights are a group of people who capture and torture Drakons (children of dragons and human women) to get their blood, which has healing and anti-aging properties. Jericho and his lifelong friends have decided to cut off the head of the organization and kill Karina.
However, when Jericho sees Karina, he is unable to kill her and feels a need to protect her instead- since he knows that she is his mate. When Karina wakes, she has no memory of who she is or who the Knights are. This makes things even more complicated for Jericho as he debates his next steps, knowing that even as much as he wants her, he cannot trust her.
Things are even more complex than they could have imagined with Karina’s past soon exposed. The mystery grows deeper when questions about her family and her role arise. With a fast pace and some steamy scenes, this book is definite page turner. While there is instant attraction, the romance ends up being a fairly slow build with no action until a little over halfway through the book. This allows the reader time to understand both characters and see them come together.
This is a great installment in the series, raising some new questions and elevating the fight between the Knights and Dragons. Jericho and Karina end up making a great couple and the way the plot is laid out leaves a lot of time for romance, mystery, and some suspense. I would definitely love to read more about these two, and I hope they will make more appearances in future books. Considering this is a series, the overall story is helpful to follow through books, but everything is well laid out in this book so that it certainly functions well as a stand-alone. If you love shifter romances, I highly recommend this engaging and fast-paced series!

This is a great installment in the series, raising some new questions and elevating the fight between the Knights and Dragons. Jericho and Karina end up making a great couple and the way the plot is laid out leaves a lot of time for romance, mystery, and some suspense. I would definitely love to read more about these two, and I hope they will make more appearances in future books. Considering this is a series, the overall story is helpful to follow through books, but everything is well laid out in this book so that it certainly functions well as a stand-alone. If you love shifter romances, I highly recommend this engaging and fast-paced series!

First of all, I LUUURRRRVVVEEE DRAGONS!!! Anyone who has read my reviews know that I love these beautiful and dangerous beings to pieces. Who doesn't love a Dragon? They are all possessive, roaring fire and sweeping graces with their immense wingspan, damn but I love them!
Anyway this is my first read by NJ Walters and though there is a bit of back story to these characters, I did not feel lost. So Karina is a baddie to these beloved Dragons, and needles to say her amnesia is not fooling any of them. Until Jericho, leader of the Drakons, tasked to kill her, realizes she is his mate. Now poor Karina realizes that something is wrong, she did things but alas she cannot remember. Filled with action, fast paced scenes, some minor angst, OTT alpha-ness, hot sex and HEA make for an awesome read! Truly enjoyed it and I cannot wait to see the future of the other Drakon characters!!! 4.5 stars****

Good end to series, but seemed to drag at times. Interesting plot that the one he wanted to kill was his mate. The info we got on the h was and explained most of her actions throughout the series. The drakons were again sexy as ever, but pulled the H in so many directions he didn’t know what to think.
Good series with a good ending,

Karina Asarov is head beatch of the Knights of the Dragon. She has been the shadow of most of the Drakon. But she has felt...wrong for a while now. She knows her team are lying to her and she wants to get to the bottom of it. But before she can her convoy is attacked and she is carried off by the very people she wants to annihilate. But will she be able to survive when she realises her whole world is a carefully constructed sham?
Jericho was supposed to kill Karina but he finds himself drawn to the killer! His team can't understand the attraction until they realise that she is his mate! But life gets more complicated when Karina suffers from amnesia due to the accident and it is revealed that her long lost sister is the mate of another Drakon!
Slow paced romance, even with the instant attraction between them. Karina is the woman we have loved to hate so far but you soon realise that she has been as much a victim as the Drakon. The Asarov clan are completely rotten!
Hope to here more from Jericho and his motley crew!

Drakon's Knight
By N.J Walter's
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Drakon Jericho Drake, is the child of a pure-blood dragon and a human female. He has figured out a simple plan: to kill the leader of the Knights of the dragon and therefore start a war. Except, after he crashes the car she's in and meets his target, Karina Azarov. Karina can not for the life of her remember who she really is and the worse problem yet. He can't kill her because his dragon side has just claimed the dangerous woman as his mate and make no mistake she is as ruthless as ruthless can get.
Karina Azarov has no memory of the accident and neither has she any idea why these Drakon's have taken her to their home. They say it's for protected custody, bit inside her mind seems to think kidnapping and she doesn't understand in the least why she is so inexplicably drawn to her captor. I mean he is her captor right, but oh her head just hurts way to much to figure it out. It could be because he's strong, intelligent, and yes sexy too, but if her memories were to return ever after he has claimed her as his own the very war that is not wanted will loon closer and closer.
I have read books by N. J Walter's before and really enjoyed them however this is one of the best yet.
The main characters Jericho and Karina have a chemistry between them which gets tougher to deny as time goes on. As much a Jericho is a mean dragon he feels the mating pull and almost becomes a lover which is a change for him. I really enjoyed this story and found it quite fascinating. I'm eager to see what N
J Walter's will come up with next.

This is the seventh book in a series, something that I wasn't actually aware of when I started reading it. I don't think that really mattered though, as I didn't feel that there was anything missing or that I didn't understand as the story progressed.
In some ways, this is a bit of an unusual story. It is a tale of enemies to lovers but is perhaps a little different as in this case, the hero and heroine don't slowly discover that they feel for one another, but it's quite sudden and then they have to deal with the consequences of that. Karina loses her memory after being in a car accident, both of what lead to the accident and who she is. Jericho had intended to kill her, as she is the leader of a group who kill drakons. The moment that he first sees her, he realises that she is, in fact, his mate and he can't possibly do anything but take her with him.
Not only do Karina and Jericho have to come to terms with their feelings for one another, but Karina has to discover who she really is. Not only, who she has been in recent years, but who she really is and why she may have acted in a certain way.
This was an interesting story and for me, a new and interesting take on the idea of Dragon Shifters. I did struggle a little with Karina as a character, possibly because she had so much to deal with in quite a short space of time. I haven't read previous books in the series to have come across her character before, but I do wonder if she was all that was suggested in this book, how easy that transition would sit with readers who had read about her in previous books.
Overall I enjoyed this story and may well look into others in the series.

When all the original brothers ended up matched up with their mates, I sadly thought that was the last I would see of this wonderful world. Lucky for us - there are more drakons out there! I mean, it's bad for them, because it means that they haven't yet met their brothers and realized how awesome they all are, but we'll get there.
Jericho is a member of his own little family. Grouped together in a company, which just happens to be a group of mercenaries for hire, he's made his own way in this world. They're bikers, they're tough, and they have a mission that they are all too happy to complete - kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon. We've been watching this overall story unfold by seeing the political scrambling happening with the Knights. All their plans go up in smoke (haha, get it? They're drakons) when Jericho immediately recognizes Karina (leader of the Knights) as his mate.
Karina has more going on than we knew. I think we can all agree that she should have been killed, knowing what we knew going into this book. Of course, nothing is ever that clear or straightforward in their world. There is a lot going on in the first half of this book - motives are all called into question and Karina is somewhat absolved of her actions prior to meeting these drakons. I think each of the brothers represents a way we handle this news - skeptical, accepting, and/or with outright hatred. It's unfair! I mean, I got there, but it seems unfair overall.
Of course, we get a lot of Knights drama, a lot of smutty happy times, and the usual misunderstandings and martyrdom. In the end, though, we get to watch all the worlds collide in a fabulous way. I guess we have even more stories headed our way, and I'm happy for that!

in this installment things get changed up and someone who hasn't read the prior books would be able to read this without feeling lost. we are introduced to a new cast of characters with the exception of our heroine who who has had brief bits in prior books as the enemy leader and her body guard who plays a small but surprisingly pivotal role in this story. Yes the enemy leader who all drakon hate & want gone is our heroine and her path there is interesting with some twists and turns but is well (and believably) handled as new layers of Karina our uncovered during the story. while our hero Jericho quickly realizes that Karina is his destined mate (a fact which completely messes up not only his day but some major plans he and his friends where in the process of implementing), it was exactly instant love. Jericho and his friends were solid and interesting characters both very different than the 4 brothers who started this series but also similar in different ways. seeing the strength and bonds of friendship between the men contrasting with the the fragile slowly building trust developing with between them and Karina and in her own past was interesting to see enfold. This story was nicely paced between action, romance, discovery, trust and friendships with a few surprise twists add to the fun right to the end. I do hope that there will be more stories to come as there are at least 3 drakon who deserve to find their own HEA and I would love to see (and learn) more about.

Jericho Drake has a simple plan – kill the leader of the Knights of Dragon and start a war, except when he meets his target, she can’t remember who she is and he can’t kill her. Karina Azarov has no idea why the Drakons have taken her in and she certainly doesn’t understand why she’s so drawn to her captor. Mated or not, if Karina gets her memory back, Jericho may get his war… and one of them will die.
This ‘Blood of the Drakon story is a wonderfully suspenseful and emotionally gripping star-crossed romance that holds readers in its grip right from the start. The chemistry between Jericho and Karina is off the charts hot while the romance is sweet but filled with many obstacles due to Karina’s memory loss. The emotional turmoil is also off the charts as Jericho has to fight with dragon over whether to claim Karina because consequences could be devastating and Karina’s angst has two parts – the first due to her memory loss and all upheaval that comes from being attracted to her capture, but more emotional angst comes from betrayal and secrets that come unraveled as her memory starts to return.
This fast paced story is full of nail biting suspense that truly holds readers in a kind of suspended animation as they await the outcome of Jericho’s so called simple plan and his attraction to the enemy which of course is complicated due to his brothers in arms’ emotional outrage at the delay in their plan. Readers can’t help but enjoy this overcoming of all odds romance where reaching for a happily ever after could prove to be disastrous.

DRAKON’S KNIGHT is an intense, action-packed addition to the Blood of the Drakon series that brings the two most powerful enemies together to face off at last. Only. Karina has no idea of who she truly is. And Jericho’s plan for the greatest enemy of the Drakon gets a major hitch when he discovers that his enemy is his mate. A mate who has no idea of who she is, what she’s done or why she’s been the most ruthless of Knights hunting the Drakon.
Karina’s and Jericho’s story has the feel of the final story to me – although I have no idea at this time if that is true for there are other stories that I’d hoped to be told before the ending. Time will tell on that.
There are several twists in DRAKON’S KNIGHT, beyond the mate discovery that kept me turning pages. There is also fast, intense action and a love story being unfolded between two enemies with the future on their shoulders. I enjoyed returning to this world. Magic, mates, and battles abound as well as some surprises along the way. If you love a good Paranormal Romance, especially Shifter Romance then you’d enjoy this series. I hope this isn’t the end, but if it is I’ve had a blast in this world and would definitely recommend the entire series.

As this book doesn’t have a number I’m assuming it’s book seven in the Drakon series.
I’ve read books 1 and 4 there is a little story going on from book to book, but I don’t think it makes too much difference to the story.
Jericho has lived with hate for the society (Knights of the Dragon) for as long as he can remember, and now he wants a war. Kill the leader and a war will definitely start. His target is simple ....
Poor Karina can’t remember who she is and how she got here. (A car accident has given her amnesia) But looking at the man in front of her, she knows she is safe with him.
He isn’t happy, his dragon half has claimed this bloody enemy as its mate, and once a mate is chosen, he can’t harm her....
Jericho needs to distrust Karina, she is his sworn enemy, but looking at her he sees another side to her, maybe she isn’t the evil that he thinks she is, but he can’t get past his hatred of the society. He’s suppose to kill her and start a war.
And what happens if and when Karina regains her memory, will she be able to look past the dragon to see the man? Or will she see the killer of her family and friends? Or will she use the fact his dragon can’t kill her and gain information for the society?
Again another good story, plenty of action and suspense. The characters weren’t as good as some of the other stories I’ve read. Karina felt a little one dimensional and I didn’t really connect with Jericho.

I’ve only read the one book (Book 6, Drakon’s Tear) in the series & loved it so much I was delighted to have the opportunity to read/review the next book in the series. While good, it didn’t captivate me as much as the previous one.
Karina is the leader of the Knights of the Dragon and Jericho, a drakon assassin and his 3 fellow drakons are targeting to murder her. When their latest intelligence shows that she will be travelling to a spa only lightly guarded, they strike, injuring her gravely in the resultant car accident. Moving in for the kill Jericho is stunned to discover that his mortal enemy is his fated mate. Instead of killing her, he decides to kidnap her instead.
When she wakes, Karina has no memories of who she is & the 4 drakons, dubious and suspecting still decide to let her live mainly due to Jericho’s connection to her – if she dies, that pretty much sentences him to suicide.
What I found hard to swallow of the plot was Karina’s total turnaround, from the evil leader – someone totally ruthless who kills (or orders others to be killed), uses others mercilessly and without remorse etc etc to someone who is shocked and dismayed on finding exactly what sort of person she is. And the (real) villain’s death was rather an anti climax.
Still an overall OK read.

Drakon's Knight has mystery, intrigue, suspense, action and a whole lot of steamy chemistry between Karina Asarov and Jericho Drake. Blood of the Drakon book seven by N.J. Walters brings the thought to be number one villain in the series into the hands of a Drakons.
Jericho Drake planned to stop the Knights of the Dragons by cutting off the head of the snake. However, things often do not go as planned which is true in this case. Karina Asarov is hurt but not killed. From there life becomes very complicated for these two. Memory loss, the mating call with several big surprises and twists along the way make this an interesting story. The couple’s happiness is tied to the overall theme so that is also solved in this book too. Still there are plenty of Jericho’s team who could still get their own stories so there is hope that this is not the end.
Recommend this book and the entire series for paranormal fans everywhere. While the overarching theme builds slowly in the beginning, this is a series that one might wish to read in order and in its entirety.
4.5 Stars

This book is a part of the Blood of the Drakon's series and I would absolutely read those book's before you read this one!! Otherwise you will probably be confused and not understand what is going on in this one, or understand the things that are spoken about. This one is about Jericho Drake and Karina Azarov. Jericho has a plan with some of his fellow Drakon's to take out the head of the Knight's of the Dragon once and for all. But in the process of trying to execute that plan Karina, who is the leader, loses her memory and doesn't even know why she has been taken. And when his dragon decides that she is his mate, it just makes the situation even worse.
I absolutely loved this book!! Reading about Karina in the previous books made me really dislike her, and I was extremely leery about her getting her own book. But this author definitely pulled it off and in a way that makes you love it! I don't want to say too much because it will give away things that are talked about and are a part of the storyline. But definitely loved every minute of it and the introduction of these new characters! Now I need their stories!! Great read!

Karina and Jericho. I really loved this series and loved that Karina was redeemed but I won't spoil how.
I loved so much all the women they were all badass without being a shrew or a bitch, they stood up for their men, they protected their men as much as their men protected them. Beautiful all of them..
I was just a little disappointed not to have had the other couples more present in each book but I get the author gave a lot of lore and really let the story unfold as each book went along.
I was sort of hoping for an epic confrontation with the Knights where all the prior couples could have been present and I would have liked more of Karina reunion with her sister. But I loved all of them and it's a satisfying end to the series.
I hadn't read this author in a while but I loved all the series by her I have read and I want to get back to the Salvation series and read the next generation. And she has a lot of other works I can dive into.
I wouldn't al all mind a spin off with Jericho's brothers (hint hint) if she hasn't already done so. Like I said I need to dive inter her again. Definitely recommended.

Once again I dive in midway through a series at book 7 having not read any of the series. But with this book? You totally don’t need to have read any of the others- you can jump straight in, and that is the mark of a good series in my opinion!
.
Our hero is a Drakon (think shapeshifting dragon) and he is out to destroy a company that have been targeting their kind. He sets out to assassinate their leader... until he finds that she is his mate. Enter our heroine who is in an accident instead of assassination and she wakes with no memory of who she was but also totally kidnapped by 4 giant guys who look like bad ass bikers.
.
Gimme gimme gimme an anti-heroine! I just kinda wished she didn’t go down the amnesia route for redemption (but that’s just me personally) because it did work with the story. The hero and his confusion is written well- how could he be mated with someone who is actually a terrible person and yet he also wants her badly? The storyline worked for this book but overall for me it was just meh.

Drakon Jericho Drake, the child of a pure-blood dragon and human, has a simple plan: Kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon and start a war. Except, when he meets his target, Karina Azarov, she can’t remember who she is. Worst of all––he can’t kill her. His dragon side has just claimed the dangerous woman as his mate. Karina has no idea why these Drakon’s have taken her to their home. And she most certainly does not understand why she’s so drawn to her captor. Maybe because he’s strong, intelligent, and caring, in his enigmatic sort of way. One thing she knows, he’s not going to hurt her. If only she could remember something from her past that would explain why these Drakon’s hate her so much. But if her memory returns, mated or not, he may get his war.. And one of them will die.
This was a great story that had me from the beginning. I loved both characters and loved following them as they went through their journey together. I can’t wait to read the other books in the series. I highly recommend.
