"What is a girl to do when the world is in danger and you cannot decide which boy to trust?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Blazing The Trail
Deborah Cooke

Reviewed by Jaime Zalinski

Young Adult Paranormal

Being the only female of a Pyr of dragons can cause stress in your life. Dealing with it all as a teenager, can just make it worse. Zoe Sorensson has been battling the Mages who want to kill all shifters but has other worries on her mind, including her love life. She has a great guy who will give her the world if he could but there is the bad boy in the background who she cannot stop thinking about. What is a girl to do?

The next installment in the Dragon Diaries series has continued the story where it left off. Zoe is dealing with her parents' marital issues, wondering why Jared won't return messages, and trying to convince her school counselor that just because Zoe's parents are having issues doesn't mean she is going to fly off the handle. When the mages re- appear and are obviously up to no good, Zoe must get all the shifters to ban together to keep evil magic doers from whipping them off the face of the earth.

I have been a huge fan of Deborah Cooke for many years. When a new release comes across my path, I truly do a happy dance. Cooke has lived up to her previous work with BLAZING THE TRAIL. I loved how Zoe deals with the everyday issues in front of her while trying to save the world with the Pyr and fellow shifters.

The action keeps BLAZING THE TRAIL moving at a wonderful pace while the emotion makes you feel as if you are a teenage girl all over again. When I originally found out that Cooke was releasing a Young Adult Series based on the children from her Adult Series, Dragonfire, I was worried about possible timeline issues. Now I find the wait for the next release in either series difficult to stand. I cannot wait for the next installment in the turbulent life of Zoe Sorensson!

SUMMARY

From the author of the Dragonfire Novels comes a new series about the next generation of shape-shifting dragons—they’re ready to lead their pack.
 
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and Zoë Sorensson’s love life is heating up. Cute, loyal, and understanding, wolf shifter Derek is pretty much the perfect guy. He likes Zoë, and he knows what it’s like to have to keep a secret. Yet, Zoë can’t help but wish it was rebel rocker Jared asking her to the Valentine’s dance instead. But Jared’s too busy playing hot and cold with her heart, calling Zoë his dragon girl one minute and then taking special interest in her best friend the next.
 
Zoë is just about ready to breathe fire, especially once she uncovers a new threat that targets her friends. Although Zoë thought the Mages were defeated, they’re back and have invoked an old spell to give them new power—they plan to eliminate all shape shifters on the night of the big dance. Now, Zoë must lead an alliance of young shifters to battle the Mages and figure out exactly what—and who—she wants, before it all goes up in smoke…
