False Security

Death Before Dragons, Book Five

By: Lindsay Buroker

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

I never thought I would date a dragon, or feed him chicken strips late at night, but life has gotten interesting.

My steady dragon - you may know him as Lord Zavryd’nokquetal, but I get to call him Zav - is offering to take me to the elven homeland to meet my father and learn to harness the magic in my blood.

Sure, I’m wary about his plans to force the elves to train me, but I need every advantage I can get. Especially when vampire attacks start cropping up all over Seattle, and my friend and business partner, Dimitri, disappears.

Unfortunately, my training will have to wait. If I don’t find my friend in time, I may never see him alive again.

love everything about it, twists everywhere

lindsey burokoer has an amazing complex imagination. most books I read I can figure out the ending of the main plot. but she had me scratching my head till the end. I love love love the sexual tension and struggle for dominance of the 2 main characters. makes me wish we had dragons!!
the voice of Viviane will forever belong to this book series for me. I hope she does them all.

Several mysteries

This audiobook has several mysteries happening at once, along with Val’s relationship growth with Zav. Still lots of humor to keep it light

Romance, Magic, Intrigue, Dragons, Elves, Vampires

and much more. This series has everything A reader could ask for in a fantasy book, including shape shifters Heroines, and even political intrigues. I have read over 50 of Lindsay Buroker's books multiple times and always wish there were more in each series.

So Much Fun!!!

The mix of humor, action, likable characters, compelling story with a dash of romance make. this series the most enjoyable listen I've had in a long time.

Blind leading the blind- good times!

“Should have told him about the hickeys”
This series is more about the fun and the comedy than clever mysteries and intrigue. But that’s okay:
I like a little cheese in my urban fantasy. Or, a lot of cheese. Once I thought of Zav as the dragon version of Hemsworth’s Thor, I could get behind a slow burn romance between a condescending meathead and a gal that kicks A but only solves mysteries by bumbling along, Scooby-style, unmasking bad guys through luck and stupidity.

“It’s definitely time to move”
The recurring schticks are now something I look forward to, from everyone assuming The Ruin Bringer is behind every bad thing befalling the magical community, to the number of folks invading Val’s home.
I still wish there were more scenes with the supporting cast hanging together, or fighting together.
But, I have to say these books have hit my sweet spot for balancing fun, action, magic, and romance.
