Harry Potterish, but with friendly dragons! They ride dragons and have magic. The story is a wonderful fantasy adventure. If has everything I look for in a paranormal/fantasy book. The characters are not at all great, but it just makes the story better.

Sorcha is living with vile, abusive Foster Parents, after being in a car accident that cost her her real Parents & all of her memories!! She’s desperately squirrelling away all the money she earns at her coffee shop job to attend Nursing School, she can’t wait to get away from the spiteful & neglectful couple! While at work with the owner & her one true friend, she goes into the basement to get napkins & finds the most bazaar thing – A baby Dragon! She thinks she’s losing her mind. He’s so cute though & she feels such an instant bond with him, he snuggles into her arms & licks her face like he loves her already!
Over the next couple of days her life changed drastically. She helps heal someone that would’ve died from a brutal murder, then she receives a letter telling her she’s expected to start at ‘Dracon Academy’ with her Dragon in a couple of days to start her training as a Dragon Rider!! It doesn’t have any other information though so she still plans to go to Nursing , that is until a huge raging storm rolls in. She’s been staying at her bosses apartment & when she hears a crash downstairs & goes to investigate she’s attacked! They throw the bag she’s got Toryn, her Dragon, hidden in across the room, grab her hair & smack her in the face! Its her Foster Parents They’re mad because she hasn’t been home & her housework is piling up, like she’s their darn slave or something!! When she fights back the beating gets out of hand, the door crashes open & boss screams at – Get your hands off of my sister!! Ashling gets them out of there & takes her to small cottage, grabs her hand & tells her not to let go then drags in to a painting.
On emerging she finally fills Sorcha in. They’re not from Earth, they’re from a Dragon Rider Clan & an Evil Rider is after Sorcha. It’s believed she’s the prophesied return of the great Mother Of All Dragon’s who is the only one who can save them from the greatest evil they’ll ever face – the guy who wants her dead!! She left their world for their protection & here and insisted they wipe her memories so she couldn’t risk them, now it’s time for her to return & train so she can beat the bad guys & oh yeah, her Parents might still be alive! It seems too incredible & too much.
From stepping into the pool that shows your power, at the Academy, everyone knows who is. She’s watched, talked about & judged! Nothing is really what she thought it would be.
This is a lively, often fun and fast paced read. I thought the Narrator did a good job, she kept it interesting & had a good variation of character voices. I found Sorcha a bit annoying at times. Oliver & Ember were interesting, he was especially intriguing! Above all I adored the Dragon’s!
Definitely worth a read/listen!
