Milo

'Milo' is Kathi S. Barton's third book in her "Xavier's Hatchlings" series. Let me just say, I love the way her prologue gives the beginning history of dragons and how it ultimately affected this line. Of course, the Manning family is the line we are following, along with those people who have come in contact with them. At the beginning of the story, we learn that even though Milo has only been away for a few days, and is met at the airport by two of his brothers who intend to celebrate his homecoming. What they find instead, is an exhausted Milo who only wants to go home and can't stay awake in the vehicle. Rather than taking him home, they swing by Jamie's house, Milo's best friend, with the thought that if she were his mate, then she would know what was wrong with him. It turned out, Milo had been given iron, not enough to kill him, but enough to incapacitate. At this point, we still don't know if Jamie and Milo are mates. Once again, Ms. Barton has woven a storyline that kept me entranced with this family, the unexpected ghosts that appear, and a new job that produced a boon. I can't wait to see where she takes us next with 'George'.
