Waking the Dragon by Juliette Cross
4.0
captivating
As an investigative reporter for her college paper, Moira is investigating the brutal gang rape and murder of several human women.
She comes up with the idea to present herself as bait, to try and take them out from the inside. Obviously this means she needs help so she approaches her brother-in-law who just so happens to run a morgon security company. And who better to keep her safe from a morgon abduction than their own kind? Because let’s be honest, humans are no match for the half-dragon species.
Of course it’s just her luck to get partnered with the largest, coldest morgon she’s ever met, Kol.
There was a lot of testosterone flying around this book. The morgons are a very dominant species and the males - or at least all the ones in Moria’s life - are super alpha. Quick to fight, eager to screw. And once they find the one? There’s almost no stopping a claiming.
Moira was so strong and brave and sassy, but I like that she was also vulnerable and scared. It made her a three dimensional character. Relatable.
And Kol was so cold towards her at first. I guess trying to fight his instincts. But he was dominant, protective, and caring. Undeniably sweet in his own way once he let his walls down.
I kept thinking something was going to come of her having extra height and different eyes to the rest of her family, but it was almost never mentioned again after the initial acknowledgment. But this is only the first book in a series so perhaps something may come out later on.
Damn was the big bad freaking terrifying though! No.thank.you.
