It took me longer than usual to finish this book. Not for lack of interest or involvement, but rather because I wanted it to last. Great read by a great author

I love Katie Macalister! She is one of my favorite authors and you can't go wrong with reading any of her books! She combines humor with wit and romance, as well as fantasy to bring you the best of all genres! If you haven't read the other books that start this series and all tie in together, I highly recommend that you do so immediately!

“Sweet sadistic salamanders!” I’ve seen this author’s books around for a while now but like many readers, I have a HUGE to be read (TBR) list and Katie’s books have been on there for a while now. I love paranormal romance and just about every kind of shifter (especially dragons) so I thought I’d take a chance on the Black Dragons series. The book started slow for me and since I’m so terribly fickle, I put it down a couple of times ready to be done with the book and move on. However, something was niggling me in the back of my brain to pick the book back up and forge on…and I am SO glad I did! I absolutely LOVED this book! The heroine—Aoife—was quirky, stubborn as hell and hilarious! I loved her internal as well as external dialogue. She quickly won me over with her delightfully obscure reasoning and her bizarre, sense of humor. I felt such a kinship with her character. Kostya is the most stubborn alpha male—dragon—and yet, was paired with Aoife beautifully. He is strong, brooding and insanely sexy, not to mention possessive and hell bent on NOT admitting that Aoife is his mate. The supporting cast was brilliant, especially the talking dog/demon, Jim. He was hilarious and had me cracking up as much as Aoife did! The dialogue was my favorite part of the story. Even when faced with grave danger, the comic relief stole the show every time! “I don’t know whether to be more disturbed by the fact that you think a dog can talk or that you can stand there, stark naked, without so much as a stapler as a weapon, and hold me prisoner.” Now that I’ve read DRAGON FALL, I need to find the rest of Ms. MacAlister’s dragon books and read the heck out of them! This book has it all! Action, adventure, danger, mystery, otherworldly creatures, steamy love scenes, stubborn alpha male dragons, sassy heroines and a delightful dog/demon that’ll have you in stiches! I highly recommend DRAGON FALL to all readers! ***I was gifted an eBook copy from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
