Red mirrored scales race up my arms as the haze of pain blurs my vision. My bones crack, breaking to realign. I scream. It is then that the realization of my unavoidable fate sinks in; I am of a dying race. I am dragon. Aurora Megalos, orphaned and teetering on the edge of adulthood, thought finding her past would curb the sting of being an outcast .Having no memories of the time before she awoke on her foster mother's doorstep, she yearns for the emptiness inside her to be filled. With her fellow orphaned best friend, Fenn, by her side, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. But something powerful stirred within her that she couldn't explain. Something wanted out. In the dark of night, a crazed Seer, dubbed Mr.Creepy, erases everything she's ever known with an impending prophecy. She now faces two paths. Return to her true home to protect a dying race against a growing evil, or stay hidden in the safety of our realm with a shot at a true love. With a vengeful Arch Enemy stopping at nothing to see her dead, she's running out of time; a decision must be made. What would you choose?… (meer)

Aurora and Fenn had no memories about their childhood they could only remember what had happened since the day they were at Mily’s doorstep. Now older and still living together Aurora and Fenn want answers, they want to find out who their parents were. When they start to dig they find some strange things starting to happen when Mr Creepy arrives with a prophecy. Aurora and Fenn are part of this prophecy and have to find a way back to their realm and only once they go back will their past show itself to them.

I really enjoyed Born in Flames, Aurora may be different but she is different for a reason. Although she is a little stubborn I just wished she had woke up to her real feelings for Fenn before he went away. The novel is full of adventure, twists and having to grow up when you find out that a whole other world is relying on you. I loved Lexi she was so cute and a great friend even though their friendship in the book only started towards the end. She would do anything to keep Aurora safe.

I love dragons and all things mythical and magical and this book grabbed my attention very quickly and I was hooked. ( )

Ok I just loved this book; it started out with a quiet scene that turned into a chaotic one, which instantly got my attention. Then POOF you’re in another world some odd years later. Then is goes on about two teenagers who are living in a run-down motel room, and both working in a diner just to survive. Aurora & Finn, had shown up at the foster home they lived at, at the same exact time, and both of them had no recollection of their past before then. They became best friends, but both of them eventually turned into loving each other like “in love” loving each. But Aurora has something weird about her, she doesn’t quite know what it is, and she thinks she just might be crazy. Until one day a stranger walks into their lives, and tells them about a prophecy, and she’s the key to it. Of course they didn’t believe her and Fenn wanted nothing but to get her away from this unkown man. But one day something that the old man had said, had happened, and shook both Rory and Fenn up enough to start believing what the old man had said. Come to find out Rory has powers. From then on it’s a search to find the keys to get her home. Fenn, has to leave her to protect her, and leaves her alone lost and confused. Then she meets Lexi, a quirky girl from the other realm, who is there to help and protect Rory, she’s cute. So now Rory and Lexi go on the adventure to find these keys, meanwhile constantly fighting and escaping the grasp of Kordon’s grasp, on Rory. This book was filled with adventure, action, and some romance, and definitely some humor. It left things with a smile, but you know that more is to come. And as for me, I cannot wait for the next book, I’m highly intrigued to see how things pan out. ( )

I thought this book was okay. It didn't really grip me and force me to want to know what happens next. Actually, I wanted to know more about what was going on during the book, but the author only gave vague hints here and there. Perhaps the second in the series will be more enlightening. ( )

Dear book,
You suck.
Sincerely, Me.


Oh? It’s not enough? Reasons needed? How about I give you five:

1.Aurora – She sucked. She was selfish. She was whiny. She was worse, worse, hell lot worse than even the worst characters I have met (Yes. Bella, Nora, Luce, Ever and Clary are included. *gasp*)

2.Fenn – The big, bad protector forgot his balls somewhere. Maybe the same place he left behind his brains.

3.The writing – Boring, repetitive, occasional grammatical errors and needed to be thoroughly edited.

4.The story – Fucked over completely by the writing. COMPLETELY.

5.Aurora – Yes, I know I already mentioned her but I need to say this again – she sucked. Completely. Enough to warrant being mentioned twice. Being inside her head for the length of time I spent reading the book made me feel like my intellect was slowly seeping out of my head. WORST WAY TO SPEND FIVE HOURS OF MY LIFE. EVER.

Let’s say this if I was given an option to whether reread this book or attend a Justin Bieber concert, I would try to use some kick-ass moves I don’t know and try to save myself because that would have the highest probability of me coming out of it alive and all my senses intact.

I’m sorry if I sound like a bitch here, but NO, I just couldn’t.

Less than 1 stars, if I could.

This ebook was provided to me by the author in exchange of an honest review ( )
