Since her father's sudden death, all Evie wants is comfort and security for her family. Especially from dragon cagers. The two-tongued serpents are said to take the shape of a man, woo their ill-fated victims, and then devour them whole. But no one ever told Evie she could be kindred to the creatures. When Evie is framed and exiled, a cager called Lachlann discovers her roaming in the barren dragon country. Now, while being hunted by the same slayers seeking his magic-imbued heart, Evie must put her trust in Lachlann and seek out his clan for help. Only then will they discover what ancient blood flows through her veins.

I want my own Crag. Give me a plushie of him and I’ll live vicariously through my imagination. Create some Crag Swag with his snarky little comments on there and I’ll buy them like hotcakes. 

I loved this book. I read the entire book in the drive from St. Louis back home to Indiana without stopping to breath. A few times hubs had to remind me we needed to stop for potty breaks and I almost let my food get cold twice. The book was interesting catching and well worth the read. 

The story was solid. The overall pacing was good. I found a lull in time with Evie's insufferable stubbornness but it all works out well. The characters are that classic feeling of Young Adult tropes but they aren't too deep in those roles to be hated, and Crag is life. Crag is a sanity-saving grace with his wit and sarcastic gold. I was left wondering if I loved or hated the romance and the ending was a tad rushed.

Overall, the book is great for anyone 13+ who loves dragons and wants a twisted ending to the bad guy resolution.

The author is very dedicated and does a great job writing her stories. This is just another example of her strong efforts and talent for storytelling.
