I'm just gonna go ahead and post a review here with the assumption that this and Mating Call are, in fact, the same book and the author simply repackaged it. They have essentially the same descriptions, the author of one appears to be an initials-only version of the other, and the cover that now shows up on my Kindle for Mating Call is the same as Dragon Call. For the record I read the Mating Call version.I basically thought the book was ok. I just thought it felt a little rushed all over. I liked Cora but didn't have enough time to get to know her. I liked the dragonlords (well, until one went all crazy) but didn't feel like I was given much depth of character. I liked Cora's sister and mother, as well as their odd family dynamic but it felt superficial since there was so little of it. I was intrigued by the calling of a dragon mate, but it all happened so fast I barely grasped what was happening. And then, AND THEN the whole thing just ended! This is not a cliffhanger. This is an abrupt cessation of story. Nothing concludes here. This enrages me.Now as true a testament as any to the fact that I was enjoying the story is that I bought the bundle so I could finish up ('cause if one ended so abruptly you know the next one will too). But I have to admit I did so begrudgingly. I have no qualm buying sequels, but it rankles the heck out of me to have to buy the second half of a book. Which is what it feels like one is doing when books end mid story with no, and I mean no, wrap up.On a positive note I thought the writing was fine. I didn't notice too many typos and I have to give major props to the author for having a sexy, beautiful, size 18 heroine. Yea that rocks big time.
