I loved the first story in this series This one was good but it lacked something I think the brevity of the book in this case was a hinderance For all her determination to help her sister Elena s sister uttered maybe a whole sentence in the book and the two never saw each other outside of being kidnapped together The romance was way too rushed sort of tacked on at the very end This series has potential and I believe there is a third book out in this series I think a few added pages would help these stories develop better There are lots of angles and stories that could come from this set up This was enjoyable enough I took a little break and finished it pretty quick It will certainly take you way from anything too serious or heavy. I give this one a C English Super quick read Hard to imagine someone falling in love in such a short space of time but as far as suspension of reality goes anything is possible if a dragon is going to mate with a human Overall for a quick read this one is readable even if there is not a whole lot of depth English I like this book that actually is the length of a novella at about 100 pages so much that I will be purchasing the first one in the series to catch up If you like Dragons the color purple romance and mystery you will find this an enjoyable read English Love those Dragons. After reading the 1st book in The Gatekeepers series I wondered if this book would be as good The author didn t disappoint me Loved the characters and the story line was just as good The way the author brought out the characters and showed how strong they were The way theother realm was described was very good quite interesting The story line itself was interesting I have to say The Gatekeepers series is definitely a good read English
.. But Elena finds her sister and discovers was kidnapped as part of a human trafficking scheme
