When sixteen-year-old Jacinda, who can change into a dragon,
is forced to move away from her community of shapeshifters
and start a more normal life, she falls in love with a boy
who proves to be her most dangerous enemy.
A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.
Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every
move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own
choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her
kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful
stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those
like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons
whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into
human form.
Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family,
Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only
bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her
inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to
him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are
hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner
draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as
a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if
it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.
Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this
story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love
crosses an ancient divide.
I am not a teen (I am old, LOL) but I truly enjoyed reading about Jacinda and Will, and the new world of "draki." The cover of this book caught my initial interest, and reading the description of the book prompted me to purchase it. Of course, reading Sophie Jordan's historical romances had previously introduced me to her writing talent. Sophie kept me interested in the "draki" from the beginning to the end of book. I can't wait for the next book in the series. (Janet Ashmore 7:40pm September 13, 2010)
The Y.A. book I am reading right now is "Unravled" by Gena Showalter. This is the sequal to "Intertwined". So far I am 150 pages into the book and it is proving to be a quick read and LOVING how it just picks up on the relationships and charecters just like the first in the series never ended!
