I was wrong.
A new mission, a new puzzle, and dangerous lands lie between me and the answers I need. Danger is my shadow, but Death isn’t on my to do list, so it’ll just have to wait.

Anya is a dragon/human hybrid who has escaped the events in Dragon Trials with a couple of dragon shifters, some mercenaries, and her best friend. They manage to get back to her home and rescue her family, only to find that her father has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. Anya does manage to remember some things her father tells her if he ever goes missing and as a result, finds a book with the instructions of where to deliver it to or should I say who. She has agreed to help the Dreki lords, Dante and Vesper, turn the tide of the war with the Draco by teaching them how to use tech. All they have to do is survive. Easy right?
The world-building of this book is top-notch. I always say that about Debbie’s books because it is true! She has a true gift of laying it all out there and making a place come to life, and it is so vivid and clear. The characters all have certain characteristics that will endear themselves to you, some you may like more than others but they all have their own vibe. There are so many twists and turns in this book that you don’t know what is going to happen, and that ending!? Well, let’s just say book three is going to be incredible!
This is an incredible read for those who love dragon shifters with a bit of a dystopian feel to it. A great continuance in the series and I look forward to the third!
Wow, I’m blown away by this book. Theres so much that I loved in this story.bthe characters are phenomenal and had such amazing depth and development that they come off the page. The plot is diverse and we’ll written, giving us readers so much satisfaction in where Debbie cassidy takes us. There’s a journey in this book, not just for the plot but the characters as well. It’s a fantastic read, engaging and interesting right from the start. Absolutely loved it!
This was one heck of a book! I enjoyed book one but book two is were things really pick up for Anya and her merry band of misfits. The story was engaging and the characters are on point. I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book!
This is a great second book in the Dragon Guard series. This continues with a great story full of great characters, action and suspense. I really enjoyed this book and didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait for the next book.
I am voluntarily giving an honest review
Who doesn’t love dragons. This is a great second book. We are learning lots of about Anya. Lots of action to keep you intrigued.
This story keeps you on the edge of your seat! Many secrets are revealed which may be what is needed to free the races. Of course the ending just leaves you needing the next book ASAP, and as usual I know Debbie Cassidy will deliver in no time! She is amazing!!!
This world is as beautiful as it is conflicted! But we all know a world in conflict brings amazing stories!
It’s amazingly written and the conflict between the factions is interesting and adds a completely new “political” war type dynamic to the series.
This is more than a simple reverse harem romance, it’s the story of the world and it feels like the characters are along for a very wild ride.
There is a major plot twist in this novel which I found so cool and hooked me further. (It has to do with the captives).
Again Debbie Cassidy has written fabulous characters with each having their own personality and each growing by themselves.
I am really impressed with this series as it has such a different vibe from the others I have read by this author.
Great job!
the dragons are here!!
Anya and her squad of mercs are back! Action pack like always and lots of laughs! Her journey keeps getting complicated and more fun!! these dragons are sexy and wont back down! loving this series!
What a fantabulous read! This is turning out to be a great series that is so addictive I just cannot put it down! The world building is absolutely incredible and the storyline intense and exciting. We carry on from where book one left off and OMG what a ride it is as we learn more about the characters and their pasts and how the world is what it is! There’s friendship and romance, there’s twists and turns you will not see coming and that ending, well it left me gobsmacked!
I love Dragons, I have been obsessed with them ever since I could remember. So every Dragon book I can come across I usually read them. Of course you add in one of my favorite authors, and well you have a damn good read on your hands. That is exactly what this is.
This Dragon Guard series has really been one of my more favorite reads. So with a good female lead we always have to have a good side kick. I am so down for the friendship between Anya and Helgi. A lot of action happens here, which with a Debbie Cassidy book is given. I love when the female lead and a male interest keep saving each other. How fun is that. Like to have a female lead that can actually defend and save someone. Although I also do love a good damsel in distress.
Overall this is your typical Debbie book, you have wonderful characters, an engaging plot, quick pace, lots of action and just honestly one damn good book. I would highly recommend this series and this author. She has a lot of series that are some of the best in my opinion.
Love this series! This second book in the Dragon Guard – Dragon Rising – is absolutely fantastic! The continued world-building is detailed and intriguing, the many characters are amazing and all the twists and turns will have you quickly flipping the pages to see what’s next. I love all the different personalities Cassidy has created with her characters. They are all so different yet fit together so well to blend into a great story. I love that we finally get the scoop on Az and find out the shocking truth about Anya’s lineage. Then there are the sexy Dreki lords as well as the constant simmering tension, fun banter, and explosive action. It’s an all-around A+ read!
This book has everything, and I couldn’t love this author more! IF you have read any of her other works you know Debbie always delivers when it comes to world-building and layered characters.
She also tends to let her harems grow with the story naturally, instead of introducing them all off the bat, which I adore!
Book two of this series will sink its teeth in and not let go, even after you finish the final cha[pter. Once again we are left wanting more and buzzing with the happy feels that come from an amazing read.
Don’t miss out, you need this on your TBR, NOW.
I thought the first book was great, but this one was so much more. The characters are getting more complex and I adore Anya. She is such a strong, courageous and snarky character and I love her friendship with Helgi. They have such a unbreakable bond. The story was quite an adventure with the gang. The ending almost made my heart stop and I can’t wait for the next book. I couldn’t put this one down.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
Risen the series to a new level
Anya, a dragon/human hybrid, escaped the events in Dragon Trial and has agreed to help the Dreki lords, Dante and Vesper, turn the tide of the war with the Draco by teaching them how to use tech. As the story progresses they move from the frying pan to the fire, hard decisions need to be made, and startling revelations may doom their attempts at freedom. Debbie Cassidy’s Dragon Rising has risen the series to a new level in my opinion. The events laid out created a twisted web the reader will get caught in and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
Absolutely loved this book. As usual Debbie’s books just get better and better. Anya kicks ass and uncovers a ton of information and we are left with a fat cliffhanger! The dragon lords just keep getting hotter! I can’t wait for the next book!
Brilliant book
Well Anya is back and with a smoking hot bang
I completely loved this book and it was so worth the wait. This book had me sucked in from page 1 and had me completely dumb stuck at the ending….. cannot wait for book 3
This book has a whole lot of action, danger, fighting, creepy creatures, and dragons. Anya is still a tough fighter, Vesper is annoying as heck, Helgi is steadfast, and the mercs, Bran and Nile, are fearsome fighters. This is an exciting book full of surprises! The ending? OOOPS! I loved it and I can’t wait to read the next book!
Epic!! I couldn’t wait for this book and the author definitely did it justice!! So much adventure and smolder! Some tear jerking moments and fun laughs. That ending is a bunch of back to back wait just a second what did you just say moments!!
One of the aspects of this author’s writing that I adore is that no matter what she writes, it’s unique and interesting. Add to that, she can write in a genre I am not too fond of (RH for example) and make me love the series. This series grabbed me from the beginning, and here we are at the second book, and I am trying to catch my breath. Things have really changed since book one, and we find out more about Anya and her past. Wow, and they were doozies! With the events at the end of this one, I’m really anxious to see what’s next. Oh, and before I forgot, I love the friendship between Anya and Helgi; there needs to be more girl friendships in books. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STOREY!!
Debbie Cassidy does Dragons – You know its just going to be sooo good
Three completely different personality Dragons and a strong willed young lady with an over whelming need to protect people who is more than she seems.
Anya’s siblings are now safe and the book was delivered as promised., thoughts now urn to Anya’s fathers plight plus the needs of the Dragons and the humans they protect.
Helgi is the one Amazing strong friend we all need in life and her love for Anya shines though in this book as together they race to Anya’s father
3 steamy hot and some ties grouchy Dragons complicate things for Anya as the heat level stars to rise plus this book is full on action.
Second to none amazing world building and a brilliant fast paced storey make this book a joy to read!
