This is a first for Julie a book not about angels. And I have to say I love that she stuck with her morals. There was only kissing and a roaming hand. Plus there was no bad language. Young readers or parents who are worried about those things do not need to be concerned with this series! I will say the villain reveal blew me away. Usually in a book it's so blatantly obvious who the bad guy guy is. I got suspicious one time but I quickly put it out of my mind because no other instance came to point it their direction.
Let's break this book down. Locklyn is a magic less senior in high school living in a magical world. Most people act like she doesn't exist. And like in every school you have your bullies. It's one thing to pick on someone who has magic but you have to be a real low-life to pick on someone without it. Locklyn has two best friends she made back in I believe it was fourth grade. She stood up for a girl named Ensley. She happens to be a twin to a boy named Becks.
Now if you love shifters with their overprotectiveness you will love Becks. He's A dragon shifter. Blonde hair, green eyes, captain of the vodenball team, & so powerful that he is named the dragon heir. This is a real struggle for Becks. He doesn't want to be the dragon heir. There are so many rules & expectations heaped on him he can barely scratch an itch. However, the worst thing is he has to marry whoever the dragon council picks for him. They only care about one thing power! You see where I'm going with this right? On top of that they will be looking at schools all over. It could very well be a stranger.
When Ensley & Becks are around Locklyn is safe. Without them she relies on boxing, self defense & kickboxing. While those would be enough in our world, in a magical world they aren't. No one knows why Locklyn has no powers. Her dad is a bear shifter & mom is a fae. And I must say this is one of my favorite parts of this world because the species don't stick to their own kind.
Next I'm going to talk about the next yummy guy. There always has to be two right. ;) Talon comes from another school his parents are traveling in the middle of the school year? On top of that he can't seem to take his eyes off her. A fact that bothers Becks to no end. Talon is living with his uncle who happens to be on the dragon council. Talon confides in Locklyn that he's looking for a magical dagger. Her parents own an antique store. He tells her this dagger can give the owner magic. Immediately she's interested because with magic & power she could be a strong contender for a mate to Becks. She's had a crush on him for a long time.
Chaos is the name of the game that you can win to claim the dagger. Locklyn just barely crosses the line to enter on time. Thus sealing her fate in a dangerous game that has 5 different rounds. She ends up with an ally or two before everything is said & an done. However, she also finds out Talon isn't who he claims to be & there is more at stake than a dagger.
