A reverse harem with a powerful magical heroine, a mystery that’s dying to be solved, and four smoking hot dragon shifters. This series will be your latest reading addiction!

I love reverse harem and paranormal romance books. This book definitely built up the world for future sequels. Looking forward to reading the others.

Dragon Slayer is a Teen drama in a magical world. 

Dragon Slayer feels like a book that is setting up the world. It's setting up the action for the next books in the series. 

The lead character is Brooklyn, I felt like I understood certain aspect of her personality. Brooklyn is weary of the people around her. After spends the first year at the school on her own,  people start making an effort to be her friend after she becomes a Kill Shot. She want to be their friends but worried they are after something. I think any shy person has probably had that thought.

Brooklyn is drawn to several different men in the story all for different reasons. It  is interesting seeing the female character have multiple boyfriends or as the synopsis suggests her own Harem.

One of my favourite aspects is that the slayer school is hidden in plain sight, it’s location is at a New York college.

In addition  to a hidden school the Dragon disguised as human living normal lives. That battles between dragons and slayers happen in the streets of New York hidden by magic and if anything does get out the stories are twisted by school media removing any traces of magic or dragons.  

By the end of the book we know of one mystery revolving Brooklyn. It will be interesting to see what else will come out or more secrets the level three boys are hiding.

My rating for Dragon Slayer is 3.5 out of 5.

Brooklyn is New York’s newest up-and-coming dragon slayer. Known as a Kill Shot, an elite assassin who can destroy dragons with one blow, Brooklyn is descended from slayer royalty. As her magic becomes more powerful—and more destructive—than it should, she seeks the help of four guys with unique abilities of their own.
This was a decent enough book. I read it more out of curiosity than anything else. It was pretty predictable, but did a good job with the building of Brooklyn and her world. One thing that didn’t really work for me is the idea of using reverse harem in a YA book. That is something I think should be an adult theme.

What a strange and interesting blend of YA, dragon slaying, and reverse harem!

Brooklyn (I know, you get used to the names) is a rich kid who was raised in a family that has always been involved in dragon slaying. When she reaches the age that you can enter the dragon slayer academy, she signs right up. She’s worked hard to train and get ahead, but even she is surprised when she shows the aptitude required for killing dragons in the field. After getting moved from level 1 to 2 she is suddenly inundated with guys interested in her (who all have the borough names, you get used to it).

On top of this seemingly simple (if not paranormal) story, there’s an added element of mystery. Why does Brooklyn feel so drawn to these guys? Why does she show an amazing gift for magic? Why does it feel so wrong to kill dragons, something she was raised to do? All of these things tumble together in a cliffhanger ending that definitely left you wanting more answers. As the start of a series, I could see this as a good intro, though!

I loved that book very very much!
I am amazed at the writing of the author and I loved the action and the characters.
The first thing that got to me was the title and I immediately decided that I wanted this book ad that I wanted to read it ^^
I am not disappointed and I hope everybody else gets to enjoy it as much as I did.

Emotional, thrilling, action packed adventure filled with danger, magic, teenage dilemmas and secrets. A quick yet very entertaining and intriguing beginning for this series.. hangs on a cliff.

Brooklyn is an interesting charter, dragon slayer royalty with a lot to live up to, she is reserved and a bit of a loner. The guys are fun, charming and each has a very different personality making all of them a exciting team in more ways than one. Overall a very enjoyable beginning and I look forward to reading more.

2.5 Stars
The good: I liked the world, and the idea of the Academy hidden within Columbia. I liked that each of the boys had a distinct character. I liked the basic storyline.
The bad: I know this was an arc, but the number of typos/errors was rediculous. I'm certainly hope there is another round of edits. The writing is often simplistic and repetitive. The heroine is far too sheltered and naive to be a 17y/o whose parents suddenly decided to send her to basically college and have no contact with her. Weird.
Despite my complaints I did like this book enough to look for the next of the series. I hope more of the boys background is included, and the writing matures.

I think it’s probably because it’s based on high schoolers that the story didn’t go smutty, I liked that. I liked how the main character doesn’t jump on the harem bandwagon and questions herself and her feelings. The plot was a little obvious but it was a good even story.

I kept thinking of manny from ice age with one of the guys. Favourite character I’d say was Bronx, his feelings came through a lot clearer than the others. Hopefully in the next one there will be more of a backstory on the guys.
