Publisher's summary

Alone, on the run, and fighting for her life.

Sloane Murphy thought hiking the Grand Canyon alone after graduation would be an awesome adventure. Until she slips and starts to plummet to her death. Then the unthinkable happens.

She transforms into...a dragon.

After flying to safety and trying to convince herself she isn’t having a mental breakdown, the hunters come for her. She runs, somehow managing to stay one step ahead of them. Until her luck runs out. Now the hunters have her, and they intend to kill, not capture.

That’s when he comes for her.

Logan Sharp is the last dragon shifter alive. Or so he thinks, until he gets word that the druids are hunting a red-headed female. His team takes her in, sheltering her because there is a truth she must learn: if the Skyborn die out, then so does humanity.

But Sloane is hiding a dark secret that she doesn’t even know yet. A secret that could change everything.

Recommended age 16+ due to language.

Good storyline...

I struggled with this book because the narrator uses a clipped kind of talking to tell the story. At times, she almost sounds robotic. The emotion and smoothness of a good narrator is often what helps make the book an awesome read. In this case, the narrator (in my opinion) makes it fall short of being a great book. I do love the storyline though.

Too short!

There needs to be more! This one was exciting and intriguing to me. Will definitely be continuing on!

Interesting series

Sloane Murphy (FMC) took off to hike the Grand Canyon after finishing college. She had an accident that sent her falling to her death. She somehow changed into a dragon. She was a human girl who had no clue what was happening to her and why. She just knew she was being hunted. Sloan meets Logan (MMC) , another dragon (Skyborn as they call it) that helps her escape along with other shifters. They teach her about their world and the purpose of the Skyborn in helping the human race. All she wants is to be turned back into a human and forget all of this. However, we don’t always get what we want. Things turn tension-filled quickly with Sloane and Logan (even if they don’t cross the line in this book).

I enjoyed the book, and it kicks off with action and intrigue but I found myself spacing out not sure if it was just the single narration or what but it lost my attention a few times. I will continue with reading the series, just in ebooks instead of audio.
3.5/stars story & 3.25/performance & 3.5/overall

Heroic Man Dragon, Damsel in Distress

If you want to be swept off your feet with mated love and anima shifters this is your listen! Don’t pick this up after SJM though. You will miss a strong, independent, fierce girly with this book.

Good Read! Narration could be better.

Narrator reads too fast making her sound rushed throughout the story. Her performance could be better. Although she does seem to have a nice sounding voice. Changing the sound of her voice for different characters is ok at best. I think with more work and experience the Narrator will do fine on future reads.

Totally enjoyable listen.

I love escaping reality and traveling down a road of fantasy. This is a fun story.

A wonderful escape!

The story is fun and suspenseful, only made better by the narrator's performance. I am excited to stzrt the next book!

worth the read

this is a well performed and great short listen. I have no complaints other than it wasn't long enough, but I am already moving into book two.

The main character is a little annoying but a good book

I thought the author made the main character a little annoying with her choices in the story but it had to happen so the book made sense.
I'd still recommend it though.

Yes please!!

First off can I say that I ADORE Vanessa Moyen when she narrates books! She makes me fall in love with characters so easily!!

Alright! On to the story! I loved the storyline of learning about Sloane and who she is. Then watching her find her mate. Gah!! Logan you’re too delicious!
