Despite the over-the-top adult language, this was a page turner. Good story

The second half of this book was WAY better.
Fury of Fire took forever to finish. For some odd ass reason, I had the kindle version, where I could read or listen to it.. and somehow I chose reading over the audio?!?! I don't know but yeah - if you get this book from KU you should probably listen to it.
In this book, you will get to meet this little wolfpack of dragon shifters. Now this little wolfpack was pretty interesting. I get that they all love each other as family.. but I also feel like it's a little bit more too?? Not quite sure but maybe I'll find all of that out later in the series? Or maybe my whole though process is completely wrong.
Myst and Bastian's relationship was kind of unique. They fed off of each other's energy - which definitely intrigued me when their relationship was developing into something stronger. Bastian was a pretty bad ass character to meet. Yet, sometimes he annoyed me when he held something back. It was just the little things in this book where the main characters would just annoy me.
Speaking of annoyance, Myst was definitely annoying. The constant push and pull routine with her mind and heart was just annoying. Yeah, she instantly started developing feelings for a guy she didn't know that could shift into a dragon - SO WHAT? Then the whole baby naming dilemma was just MEH. Then she ran away because she was an idiot and needed "space" because these two are the worst communicators ever - and of course, she get's kidnapped.
The villain is this book was kind of okay too. The whole gene splicing was also interesting but is whole obsession with giving birth to a girl dragon was kind of anti-climatic. Again, it might just be me. Maybe my opinion will change if and when I dive into the next book.

I love all dragon shifter books that I've come across do so far, and this was no exception. Lovely first book in this series.

Oh Myst!
I loved the story and the tension throughout made for some excellent entertainment. But there were moments where Myst irked my nerves. Relax girl! Lol

Nurse practitioner, Myst Munroe is having a bad day and it is about to get worse. Myst goes to check on pregnant patient Caroline and finds her bleeding out on the floor. She begs Myst to save the child. 911 says it will take 30 minutes for an ambulance so she performs an emergency c-section and saves the child. Then her world gets really interesting.
Dragon shifters are at war. On the one hand are the Nightfury (led by Bastian) who wish to coexist peacefully with humans and then there are the rogue Razorbacks (led by Ivar) who think that humans are pests only good for breeding and eating and the rest should die.
Bastian takes Myst and the baby into custody while saving her from the Razorbacks. Back at the lair we meet several hunky alpha dragons and a beta elf (who I want for my very own). We learn about their world and Bastian and Myst fall in love. But there are questions and stories untold so this will be an interesting series. I liked that Myst was a strong woman who didn’t let the alpha male lie to her, and owned when she was wrong.
As I was reading this I kept thinking of Lara Adrian’s Breed series. This is a lot like it only with dragon-shifters. It has room to grow and I shall join the ride

I loved Knight Awakened by Coreene Callahan, such an fantastic book, so I wanted to read more of her work. Fury of Fire is a good book, with lots of potential but unfortunately, it didn’t work that well for me.
The story is a good one, Coreene’s writing style is very good as well, I really like it but there wasn’t enough development. The plot was interesting and I did like it but, at the end of this book, we’re left without answers. None. It’s so disappointing. During the entire book there are several questions unanswered, questions who are important to the story and for the MCs and their relationship but at the end, it’s like those questions didn’t exist. And it left me very frustrated.
I also understand insta-love/lust in books with shifters because that is their nature, so when it’s well written, I don’t mind at all. In Fury of Fire it was well written but, once again, too quickly. One minute the heroine hates the hero, she wants to escape and the next she’s already in love. It’s a bit complicated to explain without writing spoilers… The relationship between Bastian and Myst was not explored enough for my taste either. The book is not a short one but unfortunately, even though I liked them, I didn’t feel really connected to them.
Since it’s the first book, I’m hoping to have answers to my questions in the next book. I really hope so, because I’m seriously feeling frustrated. I think some questions really needed to be answered in that book because they were directly connected to the heroine and to her relationship with Bastian, unfortunately, we have nothing and yeah…I find that a little weird.
I did like Bastian and Myst, they formed a great couple even though their relationship was barely explored. Myst was kinda dumb and frustrating at times but it was understandable given her situation. Bastian is all alpha-male. Leader of the Nightfury dragon clan. He was very patient and sweet with Myst and I really liked him.
I really feel weird right now because I don’t know what to truly think about this book. The more I think about it while writing this review, the more I remember things that displeased me but at the same time I still liked the book. U G H! What really bothers me, AGAIN, are the unanswered questions. I mean, there are so many of them! What about the baby? And Forge? And what about Myst’s pregnancy? What’s gonna happen to her? What did Bastian mean when he said she wasn’t entirely human anymore? Where is Angela? And Mac? I NEED ANSWERS!!!
Anyhoo… I’m still going to read Fury of Ice, because, ONE, I want answers and, TWO, I really liked Rikar and Angela and I want to read more about them. Like I said, the story in itself was good, I really liked it, lots of potential. Coreene is a great writer, she describes everything so well. I loved the battle scenes. It was very well written! And well, I do love dragons and this series is still very promising.

Re-read***
Probably for the 4th time...
Spice: 🌶️ / 5
TW: Kidnapping, Forced pregnancy, attempt at SA
Those are the one I can think look it up in case there is more!
Just learn that there are more than just 6 books! So I'm re-reading them to get back in the story.
Still love it! I appreciate the fact that the male can't really fight his dragon instinct. His animal instincts usually win over his human morality. It's interesting to see from his POV and him trying to fight what his dragon wants.
Absolutely love the dual POV! Huge fan of multi pov
