I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This series.. if I could put it nicely.. is weird. The first book made me laugh so much because of the character names.. and just 'cause they were hilarious.. but now it's all kinds of weird. However, the characters are still hilarious and have funny names.

In this book, Victoria is dealing with some changes. She's discovering herself (like being bisexual) and it was a pretty epic journey. However, I've had my fair share of f/f, m/m/, f/f/m, m/m/f...AND this was like baby stuff. Little kiddy f/f romance so I was kind of sad and disappointed. I'm hoping that it gets way better in the next book because I could seriously start shipping her with someone.

Other than Victoria, some of the characters were a bit annoying. Or maybe I was just annoyed reading this while at work.. but either way, I ended up annoyed/frustrated with some of them. It's like they way they talk.. or maybe it's the writing for certain characters but ugh - I'm praying that they don't annoy me in the next book (but I highly doubt that will happen).

Besides all of that, we are still dealing with MOMA/MOME? and things start to get interesting again. I loved the action between everything but I wish I got more. I'm hoping that third book would be amazing because I can't wait to dive into this weirdness again.

I uh.. don't even know what to say about this series so far. It's interesting.

Just like book one, this was a quick read. I need more info about the dragon life and all that entails. Vic has a great sense of humor/self. One thing I am particularly pleased with is that this book is not about children, 18 year olds but they aren’t children running around fighting old people and cursing and whatnot.

**My final thoughts on this will be on book three because I am not able to separate out the books enough to not spoil things**
