Real scholars know that supernatural beings don't exist. But the moment I meet Archer Andras of the Storm Dragons, all my academic training goes out the window. Thanks to Mr. Tall, Dark, And Infuriating, I'm learning that I really should worry about those things that go bump in the night. . . and that dragons like Archer are 100 percent pure trouble.
Now I'm caught in the middle of a war. On one side is Archer. On the other is his twin brother. And I am the key to translating an ancient text that could bring balance-or deadly ruin-to our world. But none of that is as dangerous as the seriously sexy sparks between Archer and me. He's too tempting to be real. Too gorgeous to trust. And when it comes to dragons, there's no smoke without deadly fire.Series: Dragon Hunter 2 | Publisher: Forever | Genre: Paranormal Romance | Source: Publisher | Rating: 3Challenges Read For: - Bad Boys of Romance - Literary Pickers Throw Rug/Blanket -
I always have such a good time with MacAlister’s dragons and
Day of the Dragon was no exception.
When Thaisa accidentally sells an ancient text her boss
wanted to keep, she’s determined to get it back before her boss harms her
grandmother. She never expected her search to lead her straight into the arms
of a dragon and into the middle of a ferocious dragon war. Now that Archer’s
found his mate, he’s not going to let her go but time’s running out and the
battle is raging around them. Will Thaisa be able to solve the text before Archer
and the rest of the Storm Dragons are destroyed?
I really liked Thaisa. She’s a bit quirky, tends to ramble
when she’s nervous, and I’m never really sure what she’s going to say. She also
carries the Poliosis gene, which has caused her to have white streaks in her
hair and eyelashes and oddly colored eyes, and she’s had some issues with self-confidence
because of it. Archer is the Master of the Storm Dragon’s so he’s oozing alpha
dragon vibes, which I rather enjoyed. He’s also a bit mysterious so I was never
really sure what his game plan was.
Archer and Thaisa was such a fun couple and they definitely had
a boatload of chemistry that was bounding off the page. My only problem with
their romance was that it was an instalust/instalove romance. With paranormal romances,
I expect the instalove due to the fated mates plot device, but this one just
felt a tad bit too rushed. I would have liked to have seen Archer and Thaisa
interact a bit more before falling head-over-heels. I was also hoping Thaisa
would become a bit more comfortable in her own skin and lose her jealous
streak.
The mystery/suspense in this one had me guessing until the
end and, once revealed, the character’s actions made sense. I still would have
liked to have had more buildup rather than just dumping everything at the end
but it still worked.
While I did enjoy this book, I feel like this one faltered a
bit compared the first one. This one was a bit rushed and lacked the world building
Memoirs of a Dragon Hunter had, which
surprised me. I also felt like some of the sex scenes were just out of place.
Overall, I still enjoyed this one. Archer and Thaisa were a
perfect fit—he with his demands and her ignoring him while rambling about something
trivial—and made for an interesting read. It’s not as well-rounded as the first
book in the series but I still think it was a great addition.
