Code Onyx

At first, I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish this book. The writing style didn’t jive with me. Or maybe it was the voices of the leads. They weren’t horrible or obnoxious, but I couldn’t connect with them. Plus, it takes the author a while to get into how the supernatural world works in this novel. Maybe all these things are what made it difficult for me. But, regardless, I honestly thought this book was going to be a no go for me. Yet once I got past the first couple chapters, I couldn’t get enough of what I was reading. The characters became infinitely more interesting, the subdued-but-not-really tone of the mission was exciting, and I grew to love the way the supernatural creatures are and interact in this world. My reading went from dragging to me being done with it in a matter of hours. Jesse is a really fun heroine. She’s got a bit of angst, but every good character is like that. She doesn’t use it as an excuse to make dumb decisions, though, thankfully. I also loved her flirtations with Wyatt and her partner. It’s a little spicy without making you blush. I’m going to read the second novel, and I’m really excited to do so. If you like interesting takes on dragons, give this book a shot. It’s definitely going to take you by surprise, and you won’t mind it one bit.

it was ok but a little drawn out and I hate the cliche cliffhanger. not too bad

Well written, with interesting characters/creatures and a very good story, reminiscent of Lovecraft. It is love at first read!
