Iax has always been destined for the unusual, after all she was born in the dragon dimension and was not human, so it was no surprise when she took a job working for the CIA in a covert group. The job meant her travelling from dimension to dimension keeping the peace amongst the locals and she was perfect for the task. When she was transported to the Dragon Cove Realm she found herself in a situation that was nothing like she'd had to deal with before, making her have to change her usual way of getting things done, and also we watch her struggle with emotions that are totally new to her.I've waited for this book to come out for.....well, ages, and I am not disappointed! Ressa managed to pull me into her world with interesting and likable characters. The witty and natural dialogue made it a comfortable read and easy to get into. The interaction between the characters was fun and exciting. Gemma's uncomplicated attitude worked well with the contrast of Iax's sometimes cocky, more aggressive take on the world, it was a definite wit vs. profanity when those two were talking!If I had anything negative to say it would be about the length of the book I thought for a first instalment it was quite long. It took me about a week of evening reads to complete, some nights I read until I fell asleep when other nights I had no problem turning off my kindle and going to sleep. This made me realise that in some parts, the story dragged a little and didn't keep me totally hooked. Overall though this was not an issue.I am looking forward to book 2 in the series and hopefully Ressa has already started writing so we don't have to wait too long.Copy supplied for review
