Dragon Child (Warriors for Light, Book 2)By LJ DeLeonThis story is the best kind of Urban Fantasy, just enough reality to give you a sense of place and time but not enough to intrude in the magic and the high fantasy of the story. The story is the second in a series. I had received this copy for review with no expectations on the part of the author, indeed, no contact. When I realized that this was the second book I was concerned it might be too dependent on the first one to stand-alone. I was at a disadvantage not having read the first story. After the first chapter, where enough back story had to be established to set the story up, there was no problem forgetting about what happened previously. That is a tall order for a series book to fulfill, but it did.I liked the characters, spunky heroine, strong, mysterious hero, great side kicks and secondary characters, overall a wonderful escape for the fantasy enthusiast. I suspect I know who the first book was about.I loved the take on the legendary creatures and fresh, interesting. The villain was not one-dimensional, yet there was no doubt he was evil.  The heroine, her love interest and the bad guys were revealed with enough subtlety to keep the tension high.I liked this book so much that I want to read the first book to see how it all started. By then I'll be so attached I'll have to follow up on the rest of the series.I recommend this, it is an urban fantasy, sweet romance, strong adventure and includes every kind of creature you could want.
