The Dragon's Psychic by Linzi Baxter

2.0

Your standard fated mates shifter story. Nothing that makes it stand out. We have the big badass dragon who is immortal and can’t be killed by regular means but a bunch of shifters with magic to block his shift are able to kick his ass. We have the good girl who is psychic and part of the supernatural world but has no idea how shifters and mates work. We have a little girl with a boatload of powers who knows it all and nothing fazes her. We have the bad guy who is this powerful council head and no one does anything about him. There is no mystery. We know who the bad guy is. The whole story is around proving the little girl is innocent, not taking the bad guy down. Lots of people say the story resolved too quickly but I think the plot extend over the next books in the series so this is not an issue for me. It’s just too cliché for my liking.
Another thing I don’t understand is the MC brother’s name change. In this book his name is Kia and in the next one is Kai. There’s no explanation for it and I didn’t see any review pointing this out.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters back stories were very intriguing. I am excited to hear about the dragon brothers.
With that being said I do feel like the story was rushed. With some much back story you don't feel like you get any closure or conclusions to parts of the story. I do plan to go on to the next book to see if any of those missing pieces come together.

This is fantastic start to the series. This is a thrilling and mystery filled read. Thaila and Kirin have great chemistry. There is great world building and I love the storytelling and the unique and dynamic characters.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.

There's a lot of unrealized potential in the story, but I did like how the world building was done. The overarching conspiracy will undoubtedly play out over multiple books as the series makes its way to a boss battle. This story was necessar to that arc, but forgettable. The author also has verb tense issues but imo it wasn't egregious enough to disrupt the story too much. Predictable but okay writing, except for the sex scenes which were... not great, or even good lol

This was what it was. I didn't find anything especially impressive about it, but I also didn't think it a bad version of a basic dragon shifter-find-his-mate story. I liked the characters and thought the inclusion of a child interesting. However, I also thought the child got over losing her parents too easily and the conclusion was too swift (rushed). The narrators did a fine job and I'd be willing to both read another Baxter book and listen to another of Costa and Kafer's readings.

This is a wonderful story. It is full of magic and dragons. It’s a paranormals dream story. It kept me interested from the first page. Action, action, love, action. I listened to this on audio. Jeffrey Kafer and Heather Costa did a wonderful job as always.

This was my first book by Linzi Baxter but it certainly won't be the last.
This book pulled me in from the very start, and didn't let up. I still feel like I want more, and I was disappointed to get to the end!
Action packed, dramatic and steamy.
I genuinely couldn't get enough.
