awesome start to a new series!
I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is the first in a new series by this author but there is a short prequel, Drake and His Dragon. You don't need to read that before this one, though.

I loved this. It pushes so many buttons for me, not least the dragon aspect.

I loved that Cole thought he was on his own. But He's not. Even if their meeting was not the best, Cole has Phoenix. And Cole has the Colorado Dragons ice hockey team on his side, he really did not realize. I loved that tey all stepped up to help Cole out of his father's clasp.

Granted, Phoenix is keeping secrets and when Cole finds ou, he lashes out, as he has always done. He does come good though. And Phoenix is really only looking out for his friend and his family.

I don't usually vocalise my feelings when I'm reading, but this book made me cry. When you get Phoenix's full history, it's hard reading. Cole's also. His male parental unit is a nasty piecce of work! I loved how Ignatius played him at his own game, and pulled the rug out from under him while lifting Cole to new heights.

It's emotional, it's got drama, it's got love, found family, hockey! I'm fast becoming an ice hockey fan, mostly because of books like this.

An awesome start to the series, and following books will have a lot to do to pace this one!

Very quickly, you realize the Faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home might be more than she seems.

First main dragon quest game played and very impressed with the mechanics of the battle system. (0 more)
For instance you can control all 4 characters in your party or decide to have 3 on automatic commands. Characters can either stay I a line or can be moved when it's their turn around the battle circle ,giving a great choice that can be played traditionally in a battle line of move players around the battle arena , giving a more engaged feeling with the fighting.
Overall story 8/10
Old school Jrpg feel 10/10
Battle /fighting mechanics 7/10(took me 40 hrs in game before i NEEDED to upgrade a character before a boss battle.However there is a hard mode to compensate which you are asked at the start of the game)

Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)
Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)
1982 | Comedy, Fantasy, Horror
Hugely likeable, tongue-in-cheek mash-up of monster movie and crime drama. An ancient Aztec dragon-bird-god begins terrorising window-cleaners, construction workers and other people on top of high buildings in New York. Small-time crook (Moriarty) comes across the lair but will only tell heroic detective (Carradine) if the price is right.

The stuff with the monster is grisly good fun, while the more down to earth scenes are lifted hugely by the terrific performance of Moriarty, who seems to think he's appearing in a John Cassavetes film. The special effects are heroically over-ambitious and a subplot about an Aztec cult committing human sacrifices feels like an awkward afterthought, but that just adds to the entertainment value of an unashamed exploitation movie, and a mighty fine one too.

So funny
<strong>So funny</strong>

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed several times Him is now my new favourite dog!!! Sailing is refreshing I'm looking forward to following her. I did feel it was rushed in some parts but in a while a really good start to a series. Love a good Dragon too.

Aisling Grey is a courier enjoying a free, work-related trip to Paris when she learns she's a Guardian. That's a keeper of the Gates of Hell, for those who don't know. She finds this out from Drake Vireo, who's scrumptiously sexy-at least in his human form. Now Drake has stolen the package Aisling was sent to deliver, and she must track him down, get the package, and try to resist the passion boiling inside her.
