Dragon Mist: A Paranormal Romance by David Burnett {Book Review}

November 24, 2019 by Leila | Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

NEW RELEASE…

As the third daughter of a third daughter, dragon-shifter Christine Drachen must mate with a human.

Not all human males are genetically compatible with dragon shifters, and suitable matches are rare in old Charleston. Christine, though, has identified James to be an appropriate match. Even humans who acknowledge the possibility of dragons cannot believe that one can be both a dragon and a human, shifting between the two. As a result, Christine must attract James without fully revealing her true, shifting nature until he has committed to mate.

James gradually discovers what Christine is. She shows him the gold dragon she always wears around her neck. He notices the prints, statues, and tapestries of dragons that decorate her family’s home. Strange noises emanate from behind the Drachens’ house during a party, and James believes he actually sees a dragon, one wearing a necklace like Christine’s. Christine’s last name, Drachen, means “dragon,” and, while she jokes her entire family is composed of the creatures, James begins to suspect there is more to what she says than a simple attempt at humor.

Finally, though, he sees her shift.

To protect their species from persecution, dragon-shifters silence any human who sees one of them shift, and the most practical method is generally death. The rule is absolute. But Christine has fallen in love with James. How can she protect her family without killing the boy she loves?

Dragon Mist is a story of boy-meets-girl, with a few non-human characters, high stakes, a bit of magic, a little humor, and an abundance of romance. One-click it today!

This was a different read than I am used to. I am used to suspense, thrillers, romance… occasionally dystopian and paranormal.

Dragon Mist had romance, a little suspense, and definitely… fantasy more so than dystopian or paranormal.

Dragon Mist starts with following a hippie named Christine Drachen on a journey from flower child to… an adult.

Being the 3rd daughter of a 3rd daughter makes her a powerful adult as well as powerful dragon who must live up to the expectation of following Drachen tradition. It is her fate.

Whether she marry for love or for the purpose of mating; that is the real question. And she has one suitor of each – one posed just as a mating partner and one she has fallen in love with. But, when the human boy sees her shift into a dragon – his life becomes in danger. The rule is; any human who sees a dragon shift must be silenced and the only way to ensure they never speak is to kill them.

But, she loves him.

Like I said, romance with some suspense (as there are some… unpleasant situations that Christine finds herself in) with fantasy. It was a different type of read that I am used to and I would classify it as more of a PG-13 read (not sure I would let my soon to be 14 year old read it) but it was a good book to change up my usual reading routine!

It would also be interesting to see if there are any books that follow the journey from here… could make for some entertaining reading!

Came home the other day and saw an envelope that s Came home the other day and saw an envelope that said "happy birthday". I got excited that someone sent me an early birthday card...

...except it wasn't for me. It was for Gibbs, our husky... who's birthday is 3 days before mine.

Guess that's what happens when you share your birthday week with the dog. 🤷‍♀️
I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week, but thankfully, hubby saw him yesterday and snapped a pic for me. I swear; Bear gives the cresties a run for their money when it comes to hide and seek!! 🤣
The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was looking for color wise (I was looking for a gray/lavender, and they seem more red), but I am def smitten. 🥰

This baby is a little spazzy at first but then loves to just chill and sit with me. They aren't quite as jumpy as Aspen (and def friendlier! Aspen still HATES being touched!)

Also, I'm not sure they were well cared for. Breeder said hatch date was 9-8-2022, but they are tiny! Not even the length of my pointer finger!

Anyway, welcome, Leif (pronounced Leaf; thank you, Kadenn...) to the zoo!
Releasing tomorrow!! 😍 I cannot wait!! Releasing tomorrow!! 😍

I cannot wait!!
Pics do not do this baby justice!! And Schuyler i Pics do not do this baby justice!!

And Schuyler is so much more chill than Aspen. I've been able to at least touch them daily and last night, they let me hold them!! HUGE difference from Aspen the spaz who wants no one in her space, none the less touching her! 🤣🤣
