About this listen

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living.

Of course, that's not how I sold the job to my adoptive vampire dad. Or what I put on my dating profile for that matter. And I do have a wet-your-pants-level terrifying dragon partner rushing headlong into danger with me. But she, like my unusual magic, is frequently more hazard than help.

Despite all that, I love my job protecting the streets of post-magic-revolution Las Vegas - where humans and supernaturals live side by side, or are at least having a stab at it. So when I get suspended and some jackass takes my city hostage? Yeah, there's going to be hell to pay. Even if it means I have to team up with a mysterious supernatural I know nothing about - except that he has pointy ears, a rod up his backside, questionable priorities, and could kill me with his eyes closed. My dragon partner likes him even less than I do. Then again, she doesn't like anyone, including me most of the time. But I'm pretty sure she won't barbecue either one of us.

Still, you'd better wish me luck.

Warning: This urban fantasy series contains danger, mayhem, humor, and heart, with characters you'll fall for - including a vampire with an unbeating heart of gold, a book-hoarding dragon who eats criminals for breakfast, a mysterious supernatural who's as hot as the desert he slunk out of...and a human heroine who'll fight to save them all.

Includes Of Flight and Fancies: A Ronan Bonus Scene.

This is a lovely detective fantasy, with strong bad guys and one sweet heroin. Read brilliantly by Read Irondake.

I got this book as the Amazon blurb said fans of Annette Marie would enjoy it. And, honestly, it wasn't lying. It also reminded me a little of Lindsay Buroker's work, another author I enjoy.

The characters are fun and memorable, (in particular Lyra and Aurelis), with enough intrigue that I want to know more about them. Helped by Tess Irondale's excellent narration. I especially enjoyed the world and the concept of the magical revolution.

The plot was fun and compact. I was worried it might attempt a plot point I dislike (not going to reveal here to avoid spoilers.) But it happily avoided it. Choosing to go a different path. A strong first outing for the series, can't wait to hear more. And I would recommend it to Annette Marie fans.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

A fast paced and entertaining story with a great premise and characters. Who doesn't love a sarky dragon. Loved the humour and the emotional scenes. All round a winner and I have already got the next one. My first book by this author but definitely not my last. Narration is flawless.

Wonderful
