Review: Fangtabulous Prequel to The Hidden Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

Please note that Dragon Rising is the second half of the prequels to The Hidden series so you will need to read Dragon Mine in order to know what's going on, what the terminology means, and why the series is called The Hidden. Issues that brought Lyra and Archer together started in Dragon Mine so pick it up or you may be lost. Also Dragon Mine was seriously kick ass and deserves to be read.On to the review. Lyra's dad is missing and also a murder suspect. Because of that she investigates a little and ends up at Archer's door looking for his brother, Jeremy. Archer is a Caido and carries the essence of fallen angels. He is the first Caido we really get to know in The Hidden world and the mythology surrounding the creatures is extraordinary. They are cold, believed to be asexual, and feel they are superior. Thing is, they are also soooo much more that what people believe.So what happens when a super smexy but cold Caido has to work with a volatile, emotional Citrine Dragon? Well lets just say that sparks fly and the road it takes to find peace, love, and happiness is a rocky one for Lyra and Archer.I seriously love the world of The Hidden and can't wait for the first full-length novel, Dragon Awakened! The mythology and world building is bloody frakkin brilliant, there's suspense, mystery, a dash of smexiness, and a whole lot of awesome. I give Dragon Rising 4.5 stars.*eARC PROVIDED BY GRAND CENTRAL PUBLISHING (FOREVER) VIA NETGALLEY*
