Ice Dragons, Book 1

By: Ann Gimpel

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas

Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

Scientists don’t believe in dragons. Dragons never think much about humans at all. Maybe it’s time for their worlds to collide amidst the dangerous beauty of Antarctica.

Doctor and biochemist Erin signed up for six months aboard an Antarctic research ship to escape her stifling surgery practice. Jerked from her cozy cabin, she’s dumped in an ice cave by men who assume she’s dead.

Konstantin and Katya, twins and dragon shifters, have lived miles beneath the polar ice cap for hundreds of years. Other dragons left, but they stuck it out. When several humans - all but two of them dead - end up not far from their lair, the opportunity is too good to pass up.

If the lore is to be believed, humans can become dragon shifters. Delighted by a simple solution to their enforced isolation, the dragons lure the humans to their home. Surely, they’ll be thrilled by the prospect of becoming magical.

Or not.

Too bad no one shared the script with the humans. Science be damned, they’re horror-struck in the face of fire-breathing dragons. All they want is to escape, but home is thousands of miles away.

Fascinated by Dragon-Shifter Stories

This author and narrator were both new to me.

I found the story interesting and not very predictable. I've only read one other dragon-shifter author, so I didn't know what to expect. I could easily envision the world Ann Gimpel was creating. I found the pace of the narrator, Gregory Salinas, a little slow to my liking but eventually I became accustomed to it.

I knew that this was the first book in a series of three. I don't know why other reviewers stated that this could be read as a standalone. The book ended with a bit of a cliff-hanger, leaving me disappointed. That being said I am looking forward to the next in the series to see what happens next.

Note: I received this book in exchange for my review.

great story!

loved it! storyline was well-written and characters were well-developed. narration was great and was easy to listen to.

Awesome Story!

I guarantee those who love stories of dragon shifters finding their fated mates and saving the world will love the Ice Dragon series. Ms. Gimpel has the unique ability to write dialogue and situations that are immensely entertaining…case in point is the interaction between Erin and Konstantin depicted in this first book…as we have the main story of an alpha dragon and a modern-day woman who is stubborn, opinionated, and stand-offish. The narration by Gregory Salinas is very good as I had no problems differentiating the various characters in his narration. I absolutely can’t wait to listen to the next book in this entrancing series!!! I received this audiobook at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
