Second in D Jackson Leigh's Dragon Horse Trilogy. Loving the series so far. Leigh (or is it Jackson Leigh) ... is known for her equestrian lesfic - race horses, show horses, ranch horses - and now she's writing spec-fic (SF/Fantasy) which introduces Dragon Horses I wasn't sure how the author would do in a very different genre, but the series has been great.

The second book picks up where the last one left off and focuses on two new MCs , Tanisha and Kyle, while still keeping tabs on Jael and Alyssa and propelling the overarching plot forward at a fast pace. I think I liked Tanisha and Kyle more - less soulmate-y than Jael and Alyssa - and there was a great build up of chemistry between them. There's a fair bit of sex (compared to Jackson Leigh's other books) and it is suitably hot and steamy. There's a fair bit of action and its a bit grittier than most lesfic with death and destruction despite the best efforts of the leads. The overaching story continues at a decent pace - the good vs evil/collective vs individual- is a bit simplistic, but I'm still enjoying it as there are not a lot of really strong SF type lesfic novels. You need to read the series in order - so don't skip the first one and once you finish this one you'll be clamouring for the third one.
