Firelight by Sophie Jordan

Synopsis

A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.

Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.

Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.

Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Well there will be a Firelight 2, no doubt about that. I'm pretty excited for it though. Even if I find these draki and non-draki ladies to be quite selfish. I also don't understand the appeal Will has over Jacinda. Except the bringing her inner draki back to life. That's all the appeal I can find that Jacinda truly would enjoy, and honestly I feel that may be the extent of their relationship.

All Jacinda loves is that connection to her draki, just like her father. It is a huge part of her life and I'm so pissed her mother just wants that to die! How can you ask someone to kill a part of themselves. Stupid! Same goes for the sister, whoop-dee-do, you're being normal. Congrats, really. Jacinda should definitely be staying with Cassian. Talk about a honey, man he sounds gorgeous. Don't see what Jacinda's problem there is...

The only thing I can predict for sure is that a war is upon them. As to whom it will be between? Well that's fair game. Also that the pride has been lying to the younger generation about hunters and enkros. Though I'm pretty sure they're up to no good either. All in all a fantastic read with a twist on dragons. And must I say it but the cover is so enticing. I especially love the scales around her eyes. Kinda wish mine did that.
