This is an adult book, and has graphic sex scenes through out the book. If that kind of content isn't your cup of tea, then I would not recommend reading this book.
This book was recommended to me by a friend as it has a very interesting premise. The mythical creatures of this world are referred to as Wyr and they are able to take on a human form (for the most part). Humans have known of their existence for the past hundred years or so, and Wyr kind has been integrated into human society. The main character, Pia, is half human, half wyr. You don't know what kind of Wyr she is though. Dun dun dunnnn
An amazon summary, "THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING ELDER RACES SERIES!
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. As the most feared and respected of the wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in each other. Pia knows she must repay Dragos for her trespass, but refuses to become his slave—although she cannot deny wanting him, body and soul..." AMAZON LINK OF JUSTICE
Pia has been blackmailed into stealing something from the dragon's hoard by her ex-boyfriend. She manages to find the dragon's hoard due to a charm her ex-boyfriend's superiors gave him to give to her. She sneaks in, steals something small, and then makes sure her ex-boyfriend can't speak about her 'party trick' to anyone else. She then immediately gets the hell out of town, Pia knows she will be hunted down for stealing from Dragos.
The thing is, you don't steal from dragons. Especially not the last known dragon, Dragos. Terrifyling powerful, one of the oldest creatures in existence, and runs a business empire. Once Dragos discovers the theft he's furious, especially after finding the note left behind. ...but then he kind of laughs. He makes his people track them down, but he insists on being the one to bring them in.
That's enough summary.
I liked this book a lot. I liked the characters, I really appreciated Pia's attitude especially towards Dragos, and I loved all the different magical elements introduced. I liked how they showcased the society and started to explain how it all works with each other. There were a few times I felt that went a bit over the top, but it was balanced within the story, so I just shrugged it off.
However, it's my understanding the next books in the series jump around to different characters that were spotlighted in this book, so I won't be picking up the sequels at this time. I really like Pia and Dragos, and would love to read more about them...not anyone else.
Happy reading!
