CLOUD DRAGON is the second book in the Dragon Prophecy series and, although it says you can read it as a standalone, I would definitely recommend you read it as part of the series. I haven't read book one and felt the loss of it.

Although I enjoyed the story, with the gnomes, the babies, and the mountain, I did struggle to fully comprehend it sometimes when it wasn't always clear who was speaking telepathically to whom. The timeline is also fast-paced and leaps ahead in places.

This is so much more than a paranormal romance. I would put it in the family saga category too. There is a lot going on with different dragons and wolves mentioned in different locations. I enjoyed this story but felt a little disconnected from it.

** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book; the comments here are my honest opinion. *

It's easy to see, even in hindsight, why Paranormal Activity created such a buzz upon release. It's commitment to the whole "true story" aspect is admirable, even if it feels overly gimmicky, and it's minimilast approach and low budget ensure that it has an atmosphere of realism, whilst providing a few decent scares along the way.
The acting is certainly questionable. I get that the filmmakers were going for a realistic couple with Katie and Micah, but the dialogue definitely comes across as improvised in an amateur kind of way. I can't imagine any couple talking like that in real life, and it's a bit jarring.
The narrative ramps up nicely and certainly ends with a bang, but the vast majority is a little too uneventful considering we spend all of it with two unlikable characters.
For what it is though, PA does what it's sets out to do. It's unnerving horror that appeals to everyone and anyone looking for a fun kind of scare, nothing more, nothing less.

Man, these vamps are HOT! Micah is an all-male Alpha who has recently been devastated by his mate leaving him. To mate with a vampire doesn't always require it to be both-sided! Micah can't deal with his pain any longer and wants to end it all. He makes arrangements with his enemies for them to do it and to let him be at peace. Along comes Sam. Not only does she stop them from killing him but she gives him a reason to live.

There are so many fantastic characters in this book I don't know where to start. I love Micah and Sam. I'm glad to see Micah come out the other side. But I want to know more about Tristan and Josie, Sev and Ari and I definitely NEED to know more about Trace.

If you want a hot paranormal romance with a rocking crew, then look no further! Get it whilst it's free!!
