Review: Dragon Bound

Title: Dragon Bound (Elder Races #1)
Author: Thea Harrison
Publisher: Berkley
Goodreads


Description (from Goodreads):
Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful-and passionate-of the Elder races.

Review:

This book was GOOD!  So, so good.

I loved the way that Harrison wrote this. She surprised me by using unexpected words and phrases; It was refreshing and exciting! There was one line towards the end of the novel that I thought was just awesome and perfect. I can't tell you what it is because I don't want to give anything away, but it was one of those scenes where you feel all giddy and sigh to yourself.

The storyline was fantastic! Here is the gist of it: Pia is forced to steal something from a man (who can transform into a dragon) when others find out about her magical side that she has kept hidden for her entire life. There was lots of mystery and I loved that way that Thea Harrison only gave little bits at a time. It kept me turning that pages as fast as I could, that's for sure!

It's a paranormal romance, so it's definitely meant for readers who are mature enough to read about sex. Ok, warning said! The scenes in this book were hot and satisfying! Harrison sure does know how to paint a Steamy scene. The ones in this book may be my favorite of all of the ones I've ever read!

This is a total must read. If you like the Lords of the Underworld series or the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, definitely check out Dragon Bound! Even J.R. Ward is quoted on the cover as saying fans of TBDB will love this story.

The only bad thing I have to say is that I have to wait for the next books in the series to come out! If I could, I would devour them right now. Both the second and third books come out this year, so I don't have too long to wait!

In My Mailbox - June 26, 2011

In My Mailbox is a meme that is hosted by The Story Siren. It's a fun way to share what books we got for the week. They can be from publishers, the library, bought, or whatever. They don't have to be from the mailbox. Mine usually aren't! 



Sorry guys, I am much too lazy right now to do a vlog. : P So, pretty pictures only this week!

Bought:

I wasn't going to buy any books this week, but then I realized I had a $10 credit on my Borders Rewards account that was going to expire. Just a great excuse to go pick up a couple books that I've been wanting for a while!

This book was sent to me by one of my twitter buddies, Wanda. She just offered it to me. How awesome is that? I was afraid to just give someone I don't know my address, but luckily she turned out to really be the the awesome person on twitter and not a creepo. Yay! Thank you Wanda. That was so nice of you.

For review (from NetGalley):

Wisdom's Kiss | Catherine Gilbert Murdock
Ok, I think I actually got this one 2 weeks ago, but I had asked for it FOREVER ago, but just now got apporoved. Now that I have a million new books to read. I hope I can get to it! It doesn't release until September, so I think I'll be able to read it before then.

 Nova Ren Suma tweeted that if anyone wanted a signed bookplate, they could send her their address that day (last week). I don't have the book yet, but I plan on getting it soon! I think the card is so cute, too!
