If you like dark, paranormal fantasy romance filled with Angels, Fallen, dragons, wolves, vampires, and crazy deranged villains, with deep complex worlds similar to those of Larissa Ione’s Demonica & Lords of Deliverance, J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter, Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan, Faith Hunter, and Patricia Briggs then you’ll love the Dracones. …all the drama of Heaven and Hell and the sweet second chances. This series keeps getting better and better. If you like epic story-telling, this series is for you. The author writes such compelling stories you get involved in the characters and their lives….This book is exceptional. I LOVE this series. Dragons, Archangels, good guys, bad guys and the ones they love… all play a role in making this series a spectacular read. The world building is addictively familiar, but not. The characters are well thought out, developed and show an amazing propensity to evolve. Ms. Marean is extremely skilled at weaving an emotional rollercoaster ride of a story. I laughed (a lot!), cried (get a box of tissues ready!), cheered, hissed, wanted to reach in an shake a couple of characters and fell in love over and over. This book contains enough backstory and focused resolution to be read as stand alone, but why!?! You’re going to want to read this series from start to finish. I devoured this book and wanted more. There is a sign of a great book… you get to the last page and scream Noooooooooooo! I want more! If you love reading JR Ward, Patricia Briggs, Gena Showalter or Deborah Cooke, you need to add Sheri-Lynn Marean to your Next to be loved list.
