Dragon Mystics

Oh, my God. Oh, my GOD. First of all, I ACTUALLY GOT THE BOOK...FINALLY! Secondly, I ACTUALLY FINISHED THE BOOK...FINALLY! Thirdly, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ENDING. This-this CLIFF HANGER. I CAN'T EVEN. I also can't even stop myself from dropping and dissecting spoilers so I'll just check this box here...ahem. Alright then.
WHAT WAS THAT?! All of a sudden, MAXIMUS HAS A MATE. Yeah, I know that wasn't the main point of the story but that was basically the only thing that ticked me off about the book. I really hope that his sorta-bitchy mate was how the Fruits Twins were going to get Max (reference from Mischa). Then Jessa or someone can kill her and I won't be so mad anymore. But yeah, I'm kind of mad that he was doing the dirty with this chick while Jessa and Braxton were missing. Yeah it's mostly likely because he was stressed by their disappearance and needed a “release.” But my GOD. The way Jessa found out about them. :( I just...don't like it. I'm more of a traditional gal I guess. Sue me for being troubled about how he was having sex who I didn't approve of. I'm trying not to think too much about it because it hurts and makes me angry so I'm not ranting as much and as eloquently as I want to. But yeah, GET AWAY FROM MAXIMUS U BIYATCH.
The rest...well, I don't think I have to explain why I like this book so much; it “speaks” for itself. Although, I think I like the first book more, even though this one shows Braxton and Jessa together (finally!). In both books, Jessa was a badass. But I guess I miss that innocence without the close-friends-having-sex-with-someone-else thing (ahem MAX). And I miss when Mischa wasn't quite as stupid as she was in this book (I know she was blackmailed with Max's well-being but [i]she[/i] was the one to run to those stupid-ass Fruit Twins in the first (and not last) place. By GOD, woman, could you being any more naive?

I think the only relationships I approved of here were Louis and Jessa's, Jessa and Braxton's, and Grace and Tyson's impending one (though, really Tyson, you brought this on yourself-SUFFER).
-sigh- I miss my innocent and funny reverse-harem. Yeah yeah yeah they'll always be friends yada yada yada but I don't need to read about Max getting all horny around that woman I haven't had the time to properly dissect yet (metaphorically, of course).

Jessa and her quads know that time is running out. The 1000 year mark of the dragon king is approaching. It is said that he will rise again. If he does, it will be the end of all supernaturals except those with the dragon mark. Jessa will do everything she can to prevent that, because she would lose everyone. I liked the first book, thought it a little YA for me, but with the cliff hanger ending, I had to know what happened. Now, I wish I could get my hands on the next one! This book was even better than the first, and I impatiently await #3.

Reading this series is a little like being hopped up on sugar. You know what's about to happen but you can't stop it from coming at you like a freight train. Even though the pacing of this book is hella fast I wouldn't want it any other way. A lot of the questions left up in the air at the ending of the last book were answered and again the structure of this second book reminds me a bit of the Forever Evermore trilogy. The main group of characters are taken to a remote sanctuary after being threatened by an outside force in their home setting. Relationships between them further develop and the overarching plot thickens.
