Firelight by Sophie Jordan

 "With her rare ability to breathe fire, Jacinda is special even among the draki—the descendants of dragons who can shift between human and dragon forms. But when Jacinda’s rebelliousness leads her family to flee into the human world, she struggles to adapt, even as her draki spirit fades. The one thing that revives it is Will, whose family hunts her kind. Jacinda can’t resist getting closer to him, even though she knows she’s risking not only her life but the draki’s most closely guarded secret."
    Looks like it might be an interesting plot right? Big understatement.   Hugly interesting plot, one that just keeps on moving, the action, be it physical, mental or romantic, never stops!  I've always loved fantasy, especially dragon fantasy.  And in my own opinion there not enough of it out there.  Often times when it is there, it's lousy useless stuff that has no imagination.  But not Firelight.
    Firelight is so creative, different and magical.  As soon as I began it I knew that this is no normal YA book, it's special.  This is defiantly going up as one of my favorite books of the year.
   If you don't like dragon lore, than this is probably not going to be your dreambook, although, if I were you I would at least give it a try.  
   As with all books there are it's pros and cons.  Pros, just about everything. Cons, well,
I wasn't fond of the lack of development on Will's part.  I loved him. because he is so sweet and caring and HOT, but i didn't feel like you got to know him on a personal level.  Hopefully in the next book we will.  Cassion, was defiantly the villain in my thoughts, for me he came across as ultimate creep and overly possessive man freak. 
    All in all, Firelight was a big favorite of mine, but if your not a fan of paranormal, dragons and fast romance than this is not the book for you.  it is true, everything moves at a bit to fast of a pace but for me that just kept me reading. I can't wait for the next installment and i hope it is just as good, at least, but I am expecting it to be better!!
