Zanaikeyros - Son of Dragons

Pantheon of Dragons, Book 1

De: Tessa Dawn

Narrado por: Eric G. Dove

Zanaikeyros Saphyrius, better known as Zane, is an original dragyri, a badass male, and a Genesis Son - one of the original embryos made by the dragon lords. Like all the Dragyr he has 10 days from the time he meets his fated - a human female - to take her to the Temple of Seven and present her to the ancient dragon lords to be consecrated...remade...and reborn.

Jordan Anderson is as talented as she is independent. Despite losing her parents when she was only seven years old, she has managed to create a successful career, establish a comfortable life, and lay the groundwork for a safe, predictable future. The last thing she wants - or needs - is to enter a savage world teeming with demons, shadow-walkers, and fearsome dragon lords.

When Zane and Jordan's lives cross paths in a dimly lit parking garage, an immortal flame is ignited...and the 10-day clock starts running.

Zane sees all the signs.

Jordan sees only a predator.

And a dark, perilous journey begins.

Female lead was a bit disappointing

Story had a good pace and I loved Zane but I couldhaveusea lot less history lessons it got a bit repetitive

Good Start, but...

This is a good start to a new series, but I have to say it is very similar to the Blood Curse series, just with Dragons and Demons instead of Light and Dark Vampires.

I liked it because I really like the Blood Curse series. I do look forward to the next book in this series. "Yet and still", I just hope maybe Tessa Dawn steers away from a repeat of the Blood Curse series.

As for the narration, AMAZING! Eric Dove is the in the top 2 male narrators ever! He does such a fantastic job on the female voices and gives everyone their own distinct voice, he reads with emotion and has very nice reading voice! Love him!

Tessa does it again!

This was a fantastic beginning to Tessa's new series. I'm already a devoted fan of her Blood Curse series and wasn't sure she could top that. Paranormal dragon stories have never been my favorite but with this series I have to amend that. I loved the interaction and bantering between the dragon "brothers" and the wonderful love story that unfolded between Zane and his fated mate Jordan. I was disappointed that it came to a close but I have a feeling I'll get to revisit these characters and newly mated couple in book two which I hope I won't have to wait too long for.

This is definitely a series to follow!

I can't get enough of this author or narrator!

Write faster Tessa! I need more!! The Blood Curse series was fantastic and this dragon series is proving to be the same!!

The narrator makes this book come alive!

So far, I have enjoyed this series. Eric Dove, the narrator, is one of my all time favorites. He also did the Blood series, by this author and he does a fabulous job.

The only thing I hope changes, is that the basic storyline line is repeated, just with the new Hero and Heroine. Although, I’m thinking book three will hopefully be different; by the way it has started. So far, I think this is definitely a credit worthy series.

Starts out slow but gets better

What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Eric takes some getting use to. I normally prefer the female readers but I hung in their and it got better around chapter 5.

Any additional comments?

I can see this will be a good series however it does remind me a lot of the Dark Kings. If you like that series you will love this one.

Wonderfully crafted take on the dragon legend

What made the experience of listening to Zanaikeyros - Son of Dragons the most enjoyable?

Eric Dove does an excellent job of narrating an intricate and exciting adventure. The characters are fun, complex, and easy to relate to on a very basic human level.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Zanaikeyros - Son of Dragons?

I found the scene of the dragon sons meeting with their fathers to be most memorable. It was thick with reverence and fear.

Which scene was your favorite?

Zane and the dragon warriors rescuing Jordan was by far my favorite. The strength, cunning, and primal ferocity with which they fought was intense. The juxtaposition of that with dissonance Zane experienced added an interesting layer of complexity.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It would be very easy to. The story flows well and the narration is excellent.

Any additional comments?

This book was an intense introduction to an amazing new journey by Tessa Dawn. Tessa has a true gift for creating characters that readers can empathize with, and characters that come to life in such a way that you verbally root for them, or in other cases...curse them. The story of Zane and Jordan is not your typical "star crossed love". As with her other novels, Tessa shows an intense character arc for them both as they discover who they truly are, individually, and eventually, together. If you're looking for a thrilling novel with love, action, and suspense...you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Pantheon of Dragons!

Without giving anything away, during a fight scene where Ghost came in and was utterly amazing.
