1303 – THE DRAGONSLAYER by Christine Rains puts a modern spin on dragons and dragonslayers.Once again, Rains has created a unique paranormal romance within her 13th Floor series. In THE DRAGONSLAYER, readers see more of the 13th Floor’s tricks and meet some new tenants of the floor. I love how the stories are interrelated to each other, so you can see how events match up. What is very special and ingenious about this novella is the worldbuilding of dragons and dragonslayers. Dragons have morphed into powerful people, and the dragonslayer is no longer honored as a hero, but they must move in shadows to destroy these dragons.With a fast-paced plot and smoking hot yet sweet relationship budding between the neat and often shirtless dragonslayer Xan and spunky, take-no-for-an-answer reporter Lois, this novella keeps the reader reading. Rains excels in dialogue. Lois is Xan’s perfect foil, and their back-and-forth dialogue kept me giggling and grinning. The governor, who just happens to be a dragon, is a wonderful villain. He’s powerful, crafty, and he just wants to take over America. So far, he’s the most dangerous villain in the 13th Floor series, and he kept me guessing. I didn’t know what would happen next.I would recommend Christine Rains’ 1303 – THE DRAGONSLAYER to readers who enjoy original fast-paced paranormal romance.
