The magic of a new series!
What a fun read, and a fresh new take on the shifter world in PNR! Dragons and Magic introduces us to a new series by Blair Babylon. I’m a fan of the author’s work, and I’ve read many of her other books over the last few years. This is quite a bit different from her other series, but I thought she did a truly fantastic job of putting her own spin on the shifter culture. Blair does an excellent job of character development in all of her books; in this particular story I found them to be realistic - personality and internal dialogue-wise (since of course, this is a PNR), funny, and a little bit quirky!
A brief overview (I hate spoilers in reviews!): Set in the modern world, we find out that shifters and other paranormals are well integrated into “normal” society – although normals don’t know it! Mathonwy (Math) Draco is a dragon shifter. Still quite young by dragon standards, he’s nevertheless smart, driven, and popular – a leader among his clan. He’s all business, and as such is tasked by his king to take care of a multitude of problems with a new hotel investment the clan is opening in Las Vegas.
Enter our heroine, Bethany. She’s a witch who’s magic SOMETIMES surprises her by going right. Her specialty is household magic, and she’s just what the dragon ordered! Math and Bethany spend time getting acquainted, fixing the problems at the hotel, and figuring out who they are and what they can be to each other.
I found Math and Bethany’s story engaging from the first page – Blair never disappoints! The story is easy to follow and fun to read, with lighthearted & witty banter among the characters and some laugh-out-loud moments scattered throughout. We are left with an excellent set up for the next book in the series, which I can’t wait to check it out.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. However, I enjoyed the book very much, and would have HAPPILY paid for a copy.
