Review: Feasted On: Going Down In Flames/Shape-Shifting Dragon Series, Book 1
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 4, 2014
4 out of 5 stars! This thrilling comedic paranormal romance was one I couldn’t put down! With it’s constant one-liners, hilarious bantering characters, and suspenseful intrigue makes it hard not to get wrapped up in the dramedy of it all, and still want more!The beginning reminded me of Ms. Cast’s House of Night Series. Only because of how Bryn (the heroine) comes into her “powers” when she is a teen than is told that she now has to leave her family to fulfill a life she doesn’t want to lead. I did like how, throughout this novel, Bryn sticks to her guns and stays true to who she really is (except possibly in the very last scene) no matter what is thrown her way. This novel is listed as a YA novel yet with the way Bryn handles her life, and everything else, once she turns sixteen without informing her parents once I thought it was more of an NA novel.In regards, to Bryn’s “men,” in truth I liked them all in different ways. So ...About the Bryn’s Men:• Zavien: Black dragon. A “rebel” with a good heart. Yet, even though he wants to change the rules, he still follows them (which kind of baffles me). He’s the one who Bryn falls for first and he seems to return her feelings. But is he willing to completely defy the rules to be with her or will he just keep doing the “peaceful protest” and wait it out?• Jaxon: Blue dragon. The son of Bryn’s worse enemy. Arrogant and obnoxious. However, he seems to have a good heart. Bryn and him get on each others nerves so much that I can see them sparking with lust too, so we’ll see if anything will happen between them.• Valmont: A human knight. Comes to Bryn’s defense during a time when she was arguing with Zavien and in turn becomes her personal knight. With the different secondary stories being told of legends where knight’s and their dragons fell in love, I can definitely see something happening between Bryn and him. I’d really like to learn more about him, as he seems nice and hot! =0)• Merrick: Blue dragon. A lawyer for Directorate. Is interested in Bryn but is quite older then her and already married. Assists Bryn when she comes into trouble and kind of becomes her friend.Suspenseful enough to keep you entertained while curious to see where this series will lead us next. I just hope no one I like dies as this series progresses since this seems to be the type of novel to have that happen.The only thing that ruined it for me was the very last scene as I felt that Bryn was being a bit of a sellout.Nevertheless, I recommend this novel and series to anyone who likes YA/NA suspenseful paranormal romances!Review By: From Me to You ...
