Hidden GatesWOW!!! Just wow! I am at a loss for words. I really, truly think the author needs to leave this book as is. Stupid me initially thought it was a YA and I kept thinking "there's no effing way." I then realized it was New Adult and I was in love. I absolutely love the book. The characters were great and grew with the story. After reading a bit I kept thinking "Why is P.J. such a lip slut?" and "Does this girl have a golden vagina with all these dudes chasing after her?" Now I know why LOL. I had no idea the story was going to take such a huge turn like that. I am in love!! I'm also feeling like there is a hole in my heart. I'm not sad with the story. I'm sad because I want to read the next one immediately. I've been in such a reading rut and I freakin devoured this book. O.M.G.Broken GatesI was going to let my potty mouth fly for this review, but I thought better of it. There are still some curses in there, but nothing compared to how I felt last night when I finished reading Broken Gates.I’m at a loss for words on how to describe the love/hate relationship I now have with the author. I was a beta reader for her 1st book, Hidden Gates, and it was AMAZING!! She is such an awesome story teller and her stories suck you right in and leave you begging for me.I am normally not opposed to books ending with a cliffhanger, but that was downright maniacal. I sat there, gaped mouthed, for about 15 minutes while I tried to put my head on straight. I effing cried. SERIOUSLY! How can you do this to me?! You just ripped my effing heart out and stomped on it. I can so image D.T. Dyllin doing exactly that, but crushing it with her stiletto heels. I don’t even know if you wear stilettos lol.I have decided that PJ’s new motto is “Once a dragon hussy, always a dragon hussy.” I stole that from Dara and it seemed very fitting. You are no longer a lip slut…you’ve been upgraded. Or would that be downgraded? I don’t know…take your pick. And seriously, Bryn, WHAT THE HECK?! You really pissed me off and you’re on the low end of my really cruddy totem pole. He really pissed me off so bad that I wish I could choke the life out of him, bring him back to life and choke him again. I’m not your Anam Cara anymore!! Now Khol on the other hand…that dragon is sex on a stick and I’d take a lick any day. Even with the ending being the way it was, Khol stayed true to his self. I’ve made up my mind that Kohl is now my Anam Cara. Who cares what he did in book one? I don’t, do you? And Shona doesn’t count lol.I don’t think she can write a bad novel. I’ve read 3 of hers so far and she has been bumped up to my top 2 favorite authors. I have a huge girl crush on her! I am impatiently waiting for the day she finishes edits on book 3 and it’s read for beta. I will cry tears of joy and drop everything to read it.Open Gates*********Spoilers*****While I’m writing this, I have tears pouring down my face. I’ve always has a huge fear of series endings. What if it doesn’t live up to the others? What if I don’t like the ending? So much runs through my mind before starting that last book. I can honestly say that this series takes the cake for my top series ever read. Open Gates just tore my heart wide open.My heart was still broken when I started this book. I couldn’t believe Bryn was gone! It was like book one was Team Bryn, book 2 Bryn and Khol, and book three was pretty much Team Khol. I kept thinking..maybe hoping..that by some effed up form of Dragon magic that Bryn would come back. I waited and waited to no avail.But then you get to see the softer side of Khol. I couldn’t help but fall for him in book two and book 3 sealed my fate. I’m completely in love with a fictional character. Bryn who?? SIKE. I still love him but Khol so much more. Why the eff am I still crying?! I thought for sure that was over and PJ would be stuck alone. That ending was DYNAMITE!! Fireworks, crack cocaine or whatever gets your rocks off but this book rocked my socks off. I can’t even breathe! I’m so happy and so sad. I can’t make up my mind. I want to kiss the author and strangle her simultaneously. I love her!! I want to have her babies. No homo.D.T. Dyllin sure knows how to spin a story. I’m so glad that PJ FINALLY stopped being such a pain in the butt. I still love her though. She reminds me a lot of me :) I still can’t find the words to tell you all how absolutely amazing this series is. I’m not a huge fan of love triangles. I find there is always something clearly better than the other suitor. These lines were blurred and it had me reeling. Goddamn, I’m going to miss all of these characters. I’ve grown to love every single one of them. I’m going to go back to bawling my eyes out now. I’ll definitely be coming back to update this when I can breathe and see clearly.
