It was OK until the end.
Spoiler He finds this witch that works as a Deus Ex Machina device, and tells him to do things, and he does them. Why? Because she said so. And all of a sudden, he just knows how powerful this weird lady is, and of course she's the only one who can make the potion and put everyone in the "right" path, because the author didn't seem to know how else the characters were going to do what the plot needed them to do, it seems. Nobody knows who she is and nothing about her gets explained.
The magic system never gets explained, beyond some people need a physical "focus" to cast spells, but our protagonist doesn't, and sometimes she doesn't even need words but sometimes she does. And the magic seems to do whatever the plot needs it to do. The writing style was Ok, and it was entertaining before that lazy ending.

It was a quick read. I liked the whole prophecy thing. It was fast paced but a little more than I expected. It was all Romeo and Juliet without the deaths.

Damien Dragomir is, together with his three younger brothers, the last dragon shifters. Heard that one before right?
Well yeah, so its 'tropish' along with the 'instalove' and 'I'm fat, clever, and nobody could possibly love me more than my beautiful, skinny, reckless sister,' but it still works. It's called a trope for a reason and Lily Cahill delivers it seemingly effortlessly.
We've got reason to love (fated mates complete with prophecy)
Reason not to love (The heroine is a witch, heir to the family that killed off all the dragons).
Dramatic life and death situation involving Pixie dust which I thought was great.
A HEA, leaving sequels to follow with the other three dragon brothers finding love. (One sensitive, one angry, one 'fun' loving womaniser).

If this is what tickles your fancy, you'll 100% find it here, but don't expect anything...unexpected from this decent paranormal romance.
