A paycheck. Now she’s his destiny.Talia hadn’t planned on dying today. But accidentally defying the Supernatural Council isn’t exactly a wise life plan. When she did her duty and touched a bloody knife … and touched a bloody knife to determine guilt or innocence, her vision seemed…off. So was Councilman Gideon’s rush to declare a shivering child guilty of murder.
Now Talia’s trying to lose herself in the West Virginia mountains with the child in tow. And the mercenary on their tail has an uncanny ability to find them, no matter how far they run.
Kirin’s dragon-shifter senses make him the most sought-after bounty hunter in these parts. But something about this job smells…wrong.

The fragile, determined woman in his arms is the mate he’d given up all hope of finding.
Now instead of breathing down her neck, he’s bound to protect her at all costs. But if they can’t figure out who wants this child dead—and why—they could all wind up sharing the same grave.
Note: The Dragon’s Psychic is the first of a three-book series. Each book will have a complete HEA romance, connected with a continuing plot that will conclude with book 3.

Paranormal Romance & Suspense fans, this is the book for you. I’ll be honest, I’ve never been big on the dragon shifter books. Well this book changed my mind! This book was really cool. It probably has to do with the story as well. Kirin is a bounty hunter who never thought or cared what happened to the people he collected. He just cared about the pay. That was until he found Talia. She is on the run with a special child. Suddenly he questions all the orders he was ever given. And for the first time, he goes against orders to help keep them safe. As if that wasn’t a big enough surprise for him, falling in love with Talia blew him away too. Talia has always helped the supernatural council when they needed her without question. She is a psychic. But this time, she questions them and puts herself in danger. She is on the run with a dragon shifter and a child with special powers. She can’t explain the need to protect the child and the attraction to Kirin. But they are in it deep fighting for justice and their lives. This was such a cool story and I love that it’s a series. These narrators were Talia & Kirin! Their voices were what I would hear as a reader. This is a fast paced paranormal romance with tons of action and suspense. I’m excited it’s a series. I will definitely be continuing on!

This is the first book in the Immortal Dragon Series from Linzi Baxter. So while the beginning is also somewhat ‘Universe’ building, it’s non-stop all the way. The story begins with Talia who had been called to an investigation at the Supernatural Council’s headquarters for her region in West Virginia. Talia is a psychic, not the kind that read tarot cards, but the kind that can ‘read’ objects. For instance, if she touches an object that was used by an old grandmother to make cookies, then that’s what she reads. In this case, she was asked to read a knife allegedly used for a murder. The alleged murderer? An eight year old girl. The murder victims? The girl’s parents. And no, this is not some twisted true crime story with a movie on Lifetime. Gah! Gideon is the high council person that called her in. He is a man that doesn’t play any games. Everyone seems to be afraid of him in one way or another. The council member we meet in the beginning is Kael, a very powerful man, also somewhat fearsome.
Talia knows the girl, Alida, didn’t commit the crime. She is, however, terrified of Gideon since he swears she did kill them. At what seems like the very last second, Alida grabs her and they teleport somewhere! This of course, freaks out the two council members that were there so Gideon calls in his best mercenary hunter to go after them. Kirin is said hunter. He’s a dragon shifter, the oldest of three brothers. Kai is the middle brother and Conley the youngest, and they are all waiting for Kirin to show up to celebrate Conley’s birthday. Obviously Kirin’s going to be late.
Talia and Alida were in, they were out, they were scared and they were safe but not at the same time. Regardless of other mercenaries coming after them, once they convince Kirin that they are innocent, it becomes a race to safety and to prove to the full council that they are innocent. All the dragons fall in love with Alida, who turns out to be a really incredible little girl. Kirin and Talia also seem to be connected, and it’s a great relationship they start with! I SO want to know who killed Alida’s parents. Ms. Baxter made both Gideon and Kael seem a bit evil and smarmy. I have never read anything from Ms. Baxter, but with this book being the first, I can’t wait to read more! I enjoyed this book tremendously, and want to read the rest of the series!
Audiobook review: The Dragon’s Psychic was a nice mystery romance story involving a young girl accused of murder and a psychic’s desperate need to make sure the right person his held responsible. The characters are likable and believable and the storyline is interesting and entertaining. There are a few intimate scenes but nothing to explicit. The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this review.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

This is my first book by this author and I it won’t be the last. Talia is a psychic (by touch) for The Council overseeing supernaturals. Kirin is the best there is when it comes to bringing fugitive supernaturals to justice. Both are a bit jaded about their jobs with the Council but never question it. Until Gideon, the head of the region, insists an 8-yr old child murdered her parents and wants Talia to say that’s what the knife showed her. When she refuses, she becomes a fugitive with the child. Now Kirin is called in to collect them both. There were parts in this book that I was holding my breath and parts that made me just laugh. Alida, the 8-yr old, was so mature and brave for being so young. One of my favorite parts is when Kirin’s brother complains about not having any foil to protect his thoughts. This was a winner for me all the way. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
This was an awesome book that I thoroughly enjoyed!
Alina,the girl with mysterious power is being targeted for killing her parents. The story is intriguing and kept me turning pages.
Talia, she has visions from the future and from the past. Lately the story from the past bringing discomfort and pain.
Things were not as they seemed and someone was interfering with the truth. She had to run and protect child.
Kirin, the Dragon knows that this woman needs his help,but doesn’t know why. When finally he get her is more surprise than before. Talia is his Mate.
Don’t miss the start of what looks to be an incredibly good series!

This is my first time reading this author, I thought the story was well written and interesting. A psychic goes against the Council and does what she believes is right and just, the Council retaliates by sending a dragon shifter after her. There is a lot of story in this book with adventure and romance. The main characters have to make tough choices, the easy way which seems wrong or the difficult way that seems right. It’s an enjoyable book and I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

The Dragon’s Psychic by Linzi Baxter is the first book in the Immortal Dragon series. This book begins with a mystery when psychic Talia is called in on a case for the supernatural council in the state of West Virginia. Once she discovers that a child is being wrongly accused of murder she and the child escape with a dragon named Kirin who is sent to capture them, hot on their heels. This story is full of suspense, mystery, magic, and romance. I loved the way the story and its characters developed. This was a very entertaining dragon mate tale that ended with a wonderful happy ever after ending. I loved it! The Dragon’s Psychic is a mysterious and surprising romance.
This was a really sweet story with a couple of steamy scenes. The characters are marvelous and I look forward to their future adventures.

When, you can’t run anylonger, turn around and say HI! Talia, psychic can read objects. When asked to read a knife by the Supernational Council allegedly used by an 8 year old girl, Alida to kill her parents, she could not ascertain the girl was guilty, but she felt something was wrong with the story and with the Council who she felt was manipulating the situation. When she touched the girl in comfort, she found herself translocated. Kirin, dragon bounty hounter who gets results hunting is brought in to find Talia. He had been having dreams of a woman calling out to him. Coincidence? Can Talia protect Alida and find the truth? Will Kirin find Talia? Is she the woman in his dreams? Is that prophetic? Does Alida have powers? Can Talia solve the mystery of the Council? Good story. Keeps you stuck to your kindle. Literally! You won’t be able to put it down to do anything! Nicely done. I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.
A great book to start a new series with strong characters in Talia , a psychic and Kirin , a dragon shifter and Alida , the innocent little girl accused of killing her parents. The author does a great job building the story and pulling you in with her descriptive writing. Her scenes are described in vivid detail and the story flows fluidly. The supporting characters play a huge part in bringing the story around and you get to meet his brothers and get a peek into their lives. I’m looking forward to reading their stories.

Kirin, a dragon shifter, was a mercenary and his Bounty was on Talia, a psychic, and Alida, blamed for murdering her parents. This was a very interesting story with well defined characters. Good read!

Talia has been summoned by the Supernatural Council. Since they found out she had visions of events when she touched an object and could help them solve cases, they called her at least once a month. But the visions were tough on her, making her experience the pain and emotions caused by the violent act. It drained her energy and she couldn’t forget the bad ones which gave her nightmares. This time, she felt very uncomfortable and her mind turned to the criminals she heard they kept in their labs in the basement to experiment on. She felt that if she walked into the building today, her life would change.
In the interrogation room, Talia saw an 8-year-old little girl, Alida, with blood on her hands, tears running down her face and a blank look in her eyes. Nearby was a bloody serrated kitchen knife. They said she murdered her parents who were Council members. It made no sense that a little girl could overpower her parents who had powers of their own! Kael, who let her into the room, tried to not answer any of her obvious questions. The room was freezing inside to the point that Talia saw her own breath fog out when she whispered a bad word at the scowling man.
Talia touched the knife, but this time, the vision was blurry. She saw Alida standing there, felt her enormous powers, and the child looked right at her and said, “I didn’t do it.” That had never happened before. She knew the girl didn’t murder her parents and, as she looked to the side, she saw a black figure just as she was forcefully pulled out of the vision and back to the interrogation room. The enforcer, Arrow, had taken the knife from her hand. They told her the girl had no powers. She reached for the knife again but Arrow moved away and an angry Gideon came into the room, demanding to talk to her. She was afraid they would send her to the labs or kill her outright.
Touching the girl to comfort her, they both disappeared and were relocated elsewhere! Kirin, a dragon and expert tracker, was brought in to find them. He had been having dreams about a woman calling for him, needing his help, and his dragon went wild trying to get to her. Talia also knew something was wrong with the Council, as someone was manipulating things to get at the child. Who or for what reason, she didn’t know. But her adventure had just begun and would indeed change her life! Would she and Alida survive? Would the person responsible for the murder and corruption be discovered?
This was an awesome book that I thoroughly enjoyed! The story line started the reader’s tension as we heard about the Council and Talia’s discomfort this time. Things were not as they seemed and someone was interfering with the truth. The characters were depicted very well, and we meet Kirin’s brothers along the way. The mystery of Alida’s powers and why she was being targeted keeps the story intriguing for the reader as it races along! Don’t miss the start of what looks to be an incredibly good series!
I loved this book…I read it straight though until I finished. It pulled me right in. I loved how the characters became a family and how the interacted. The human psychic the dragon shifter hunter and the child accused of killing her parents. Plus the younger brothers, I hope the next book continue with them. I will defiantly be following this series!!!

I have read Linzi’s romantic thriller books but this is a first for me with paranormal for her but I have to say she knocked it out of the park and I will admit I only requested the book because it carried her name and now I am desperate for the rest of the books in the series

Talia knew something was wrong when she touched the murder weapon and things didn’t seem right so now she is on the run from the council with a child accused of murder and why can’t they lose the dragon mercenary chasing them it is like he has radar where they are concerned. When Kirin finally catches up with them he realises why he has had no trouble finding them Talia is his mate and he is sworn to protect her Why does someone want this child dead what is her secret and will they be able to solve it before they all are killed. Will they survive and will they form a family You will have to read to see
This is the first pnr book that I have read from Linzi, although I have read the Hacker series and enjoyed them immensely. This one did not disappoint. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay up past 2 am to finish it, but I read it to the end this morning!
There is a villain who seems to be up to no good and he will probably unravel in future books. He sends a dragon shifter mercenary to capture a psychic and an eight year old girl accused of murdering her parents, whose powers keep growing. He joins them on the run when things just don’t feel right. Well written and kept my attention from the first page. Minimum of actual violence and some steamy stuff. Very enjoyable read!
