Rules for Living: Lay low. Kick butt. Hide my magic.
People think I'm normal. They're wrong. I'm demon touched—filled with dark, deadly magic. Hiding my power is the only way to survive. Problem is, I'm about to start my first term at the best Academy of Magic in the world. So hiding is going to be a problem.
When demons attack, the Academy calls on the lethally sexy gladiator Maximus. As the best tracker, I'm forced to work with Maximus to defend our kind. But his mage powers are strong, and he senses there's something wrong with my magic. He's powerful as hell, and he wants me. Despite his allure, I can't let him know the truth of what I am.
My real mission? Kill the demons before they reveal my secret. As for Maximus? It'll take all my skills to keep my distance, especially since he looks like a god. Because if he learns exactly what I am, I'll never survive the Academy, much less tomorrow.
This boxed set contains all five books in the Dragon's Gift: The Amazon series. They're fast-paced urban fantasy romances starring a kick butt heroine, a powerful hero, and otherworldly adventure.

Before becoming a writer, Linsey was an archaeologist who studied shipwrecks in all kinds of water, from the tropics to muddy rivers (and she has a distinct preference for one over the other). After a decade of tromping around in search of old bits of stuff, she settled down to start penning her own adventure novels and is freaking delighted that people seem to like them. Since life is better with a little (or a lot of) magic, she writes urban fantasy and paranormal romance.
The Best of all of Linsey Hall's Stories that I Have Read to Date!
I have read several of her books and each is in a series of 3 - 5 books. This series is a compilation of 5 books all related to the central character, Rowan. One of three sisters destined to become Dragon Gods only Rowan has yet to come into her powers. Her only magical skill was taken from her during five years of captivity by a group with dark magic. While she isn't evil, there is darkness tainted within her as a consequence of having her one magical skill taken from her. So she has learned to compensate by training as both a skilled fighter and a master potion maker. Having all five books her in one volume makes it easy to move to the next one but does lack because you cannot rate each story the five stars they deserve. The writing is more mature in this series with a lot more experience as a writer.
2.5 stars actually. The first 3 books were good, then it was repetitive. The same thing happening in a different setting. If you’re into action then the books are great. Personally I would’ve preferred more romance and to see how Maximus’ and Rowan’s relationship develop over and above the thrill of the action. It was very much like the movie ‘Speed’. In love because of a dangerous situation. I kept reading to see how it would develop. When I finished, I felt meeehhh. Would not read again nor do I think I would pick up this author’s books if they’re all like this.
HOWEVER, if you’re into action this is totally a must. Just not my cup of tea.
Rowan's story was always going to be dark, given her past. Her biggest challenge was coming to terms with herself. She has a great support system with family, friends, animal sidekicks, and an awesome guy. A truly epic ending to the Dragon God trilogy!
I pushed myself to get through the entire series and I'm not a quitter but I really wanted to around half way through. Each story was so very similar. Variety would have made this series so much better.
I had read one of the Amazon books a while ago . I bought the five book set so I could read the whole series. Rosen is the Greek Dragon God has to earn her way by completing quests. I truly enjoyed the series.
There is still a lack of content in the end of this book, it leaves the story unfinished. I liked the series, I just felt like it wasn't the end of the story.
I’ve loved the stories starting with Bree then Ana and the best of all Rowan. I was hooked after reading the Fire Souls as Cass, Del and Nix came into the powers. Don’t stop the stories of these amazing women and the magical world.
I don't know how she does it, but these keep getting better. Every time I think I have my favorite book or my favorite character in the series I read the next and am blown out of the water again. They are amazing and well worth reading.
Just one thing though...Queen Hippolyta and Queen Penthiselea were not sisters, they were loers and leaders of the Amazons! Don't delete them, their sacrifices and power for anything!
Absolutely amazing. It pulls you in to where you feel like you are right there fighting alongside Rowan on her journey. Loved the mythology aspects as well.
I love finding series that keep me so hooked i can't stop reading. The action and romance and characters are wonderful. Thank you for you spectacular books.
Nothing more needs to be said other than look at Linsey Hall's site for the reading order of her book because they all interlink a great writer with FABULOUS books.
