The cover is gorgeous but the story fell kinda flat for me. I felt like I was rereading her previous dragon series and although the previous series was interesting I just quickly lost interest in Dragon Fall. I was really disappointed because I usually love Katie's Books!

I love worlds where dragons are real in any shape or form, and the dragons in this world sound pretty nice to look at when they're in their human shape. When Aoife finds out the handsome stranger in her life isn't just a trick of her imagination, but real life dragon shifter, she has two reactions. 1) Extremely pissed off that no one believed her and they locked her up in a hospital, and 2) holy crap!!

Aoife was a very sarcastic woman with a lot of witty (but crazy) lines throughout the book. While I am all for a quirky character, sometimes she got just a tad annoying. Kostya, our dragon, is such an opposite to Aoife it made both their characteristics really stand out. Kostya was stubborn, grumpy, and determined to never talk about his previous mate or anything to do with mating every again.

Pair that with a very strange curse that makes Kostya's dragon clan attack each other on sight, and you are set with quite an adventure. Throw in some fancy magic, a demon, and a handful of demon lords, and there is sooo much going on. But Katie MacAlister handled the craziness well. I never got lost or confused in the action, and the side characters all added their own important element to the story.

This was a great start to the series, with a really fun couple, a super romantic HEA, but several strings in the overall scheme of things that still need to be tied.

**I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book**

This book was promising. It started off really interesting and I was hooked. Slowly it devolved into just mush. I was left feeling like it was overly rushed and not fleshed out fully. We just watch as two people fall in love out of no where and argue about being mates. Also the 'quirky' curses that Aoife uses are plain obnoxious by the end of the book.

I'm just disappointed after reading the summary and expecting so much more. The ending is of course a cliffhanger, but I am left with no urge to read book two.

I was disappointed with this book. The style was in keeping with other series, but it was missing the spirit of the series. Kostya and Aoife never really got to know one another either Kostya was being super secretive about his past or they were running from people trying to kill them. It was simply established that they were mates, so they were hot for each other, so that meant they were in love. But there was nothing going on between to make them fall for each other. I also didn’t like how quick Aoife was to accept everything. She just got out of the mental hospital for briefly witnessing the supernatural, so you would think she would spend most of this book in a panic. But she never questioned that she was having a psychotic break and just went along with the flow.

This book also never really felt like it was Aoife and Kostya’s story. There was way to much time spent with Jim, Renee, Aisling, Drake, and the Green Dragon’s. We didn’t get to know any of the Black Dragons, and we didn’t get to see Kostya’s lair. They didn’t even get their own villain, it was Asmodeus again and some nameless faceless Red Dragon’s. And the final thing that irked me was Aoife comparing having a teenage crush on a guy who turned out to be a racist to a psycho who tricked Kostya into thinking she was his soulmate and a false mating which could’ve led to him being tied to a crazy person for his immortal lifespan.

This series is going off the usual style and will not have all three books focus on one couple. Although I didn’t really enjoy this pairing it kind of sucks that they won’t at least get the chance to win me over. Instead the next book will focus on another Black Dragon and his mate. Hopefully in that book we will actually spend time in this Sept and will get to see the main characters truly get know one another and actually fall for the person, not just get swept up in magic.

I loved the previous dragon stories by Katie and couldn't wait to read this one. I loved Kostya's unintentional humor, Aofie's timid nature and of course the dragon world. Another strong chapter from Katie's world.

Sorry for the inconvenience in taking so long for my feedback, but I never finished this book and no longer have access to it.
