About this listen

A destiny uncovered...a hidden world...and dragons.

After a car accident left my only parent - my father - in the hospital, I was swept away to the Dragon Born Academy by my estranged grandmother. If I had to be there, I'd be an observer of this place with its rituals and superstitions.... After all, everyone's made it clear I don't belong.

But then it happened...and Ashe Carrick - my impossibly irresistible bond-mate - happened. Being cracked open changed everything.... Who I thought I was, what I thought I was....

Dragon born.

The words alone bring to mind monsters and princesses in castles.

I am the princess and the monster they locked away. However, my story has no damsels in distress, waiting to be rescued.

It's self-rescue time, and I'm done playing nice.

Intriguing

I’m thoroughly enjoying this series so far. I look forward to the next part of the series. It’s actually a really sweet story so far that looks seriously at age of consent. I would recommend.

ok, but I'm not paying for the other books

The story is pretty good, elaborate and well thought through. I'm not a big fan of the 2 main characters. (spoiler alert from here on...)

She's only 16 yo and it really shows. She's selfish and impulsive. He was going to propose to another woman. We don't really get closure on that relationship and I have a feeling that 'ex' is going to be dragged in the story a few more books. It's 4 more books after this one.

I've decided to not read the other books. If they were included in the audible membership or in the Kindle Unlimited membership, I might have considered it. But it ends here for me...

(Btw I do like the titles of all 5 books and how they all refer to eggs! 🤣)
