Description
As the last dragon shifter, I live alone, hiding in one of Earth’s sacred deserts. My human handlers tell me that I have no parents, no name, and no purpose other than to train for battle and one day become a vessel for the reincarnation of Chimera, the greatest dragon shifter of all. Sadly, Chimera’s rebirth will mean my own death. But my handlers say this sacrifice is a noble fate that will rebuild the dragon shifter world.
I shall die on my seventeenth birthday. That’s five days from now.
Then I hear music thumping across the desert. I take my mortal form, follow the sound, and find humans dancing in what they call a rave. There is a stage and a rock band. One thing quickly becomes clear: Unlike the audience, the musicians are dragon shifters, just like me. And one of them, the guitar player Rhodes, makes my knees turn watery. The lead singer, Kaps, has something strangely familiar about her.
It all adds up to one conclusion: My handlers lied to me. I’m not the last of my kind. Memories reappear. I had parents once. Portia and Tempest. I even had a name. Zinnia. Perhaps I have a reason to live as well. I step past the dancing humans to confront the players.
I will find out the full truth, no matter what.

This book starts out with Zinnia, or Zin, at age 9. She is supposed to be taking a nap with her sisters Kaps and Huntress, but naps are for losers and she is planning to make her escape to go meet LT, or Rhodes, so they can make music and magic together. Everything seems to go wrong and this loving family is separated for what seems like forever. I love the family involvement, especially the ending, it shows true love between family members. One of my favourite parts of this book is, of course, the ultra-romantic love story that literally beats all other love stories. Not to mention, the magic of music. Music is very healing for people suffering trauma and other things in real life so I thought this showed a new and brilliant perspective from Christina Bauer. To make something that is so meaningful and healthy for so many people into a force of good in this fantasy series is just amazing. Bravo!

I really think each of these books get better as they go along, I love Christina’s writing so much, she pulls you right in and doesn’t let you go. These are just full of action, chemistry and great romance. I look forward to many more.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Christina Bauer has once again created a completely different character in the “Angelbound Origins” series and I love her and her name is: Zinnia.
The lines are clear for Zinnia, it is either black or white. She was taught one way. When she finds out she has been lied to then she sets out to find out what is real. This takes tremendous strength and courage. Bauer creates these amazing young women that are strong, risk-taking, and who make mistakes yet get back up again.
Bauer provides humor, action, and some really funny one-liners. Zinnia is a heroine to root for. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
