Dragon Gate by Gary Jonas in the third book in the Jonathan Shade series but can be read without reading the other two books but do yourself a favor and read them, you will be glad you did! This picks up where the other book leaves off, and things start off with mysteries, wizards, aliens for another dimension, dragons, assassins, and a possible new romance for Jonathan. Things go bad for the two magical engineered warriors, one being his partner, and it takes all he has to save her. So many twists and turns and surprises this author is good for. The book is never as it seems, that is what I like about these books. The author is always one step ahead, the creativity and wit, humor, sensitivity, and love, all mixed in to one book is smoothly meshed perfectly. The action is non-stop, no rest for the characters or reader. Always a perfect plot, well developed characters, and well placed surprises and twists to grab the reader to say, “Oh my God! I didn’t see that coming at all!!!” Love these books. I love the way they make me laugh one minute and tense up the next. Fun reads. The flapper ghost on his team is my favorite!
This review is for the audio book.
Oh wow, I loved this book. I enjoyed the first two books in the series and didn’t think the author could improve on the series but somehow he has created another master piece. The story continues from where book two left off (and I highly recommend listening to it as well) but this one is slightly different in the fact the the story isn’t told just in Jonathan’s perspective and each chapter starts with whos point of view it is. This really works well because with so much happening in the story it needs the multi levels of perspectives for you to keep up. I can easily see this being made into a film or for television and with so much action, back stabbing, secrets and even dragons it would surely be a hit. I liked the fact that for this book Jonathan and Kelly seemed to have switched opinions about life, they still make a great team but like Kelly I missed Jonathan’s humour, don’t worry he still has the power to annoy everyone tho. I can’t wait to start the next book.
Mike from the DGI helped Jonathan on his last case and now he is calling in that favour. Stephen Noble has lost his head and the man responsible is after the rest of his family. Jonathan and his team are tasked with saving his son and daughter from a family clan of killers, who might or might not have the use of magic at there finger tips. But when dragons are at your beck and call who needs magic? Can Jonathan and his team keep them safe, despite not knowing everything? because the Noble family is keeping a very big secret. A secret that could very easily get them all killed.
I like the narrator and think he is perfect for this series, whether it’s a male or female voice he brings them to life.
