In a world where people fight dragons for entertainment and money, the daughter of a famous flamenco dancer and a Dragonador, 18 year old Zarela Zalvidar is about to have her entire world go up in flames. After the death of her mother Zarela has taken up her mother’s mantle and become a flamenco dancer herself. After a disastrous show in which dragons escape and many audience members die and her father is left too injured to even work she’ll have to find a way to not only save her family’s reputation but the arena and uncover what actually happened that day. In order to do that she’ll have to get the help of a dragon hunter, but the only dragon hunter who will even have a chance of helping her is Arturo Montserrat and he absolutely hates her and what her family stands for. Arturo wants to rescue dragons, he abhors the killing of them and everything that Zarela’s family does, but what does she do? Strong arm her way and essentially force him into help her. She will have him train her to become a Dargonador and she’ll also be trying to uncover the murders that are happening around her. This was an enemies to lovers story set in an intriguing world of dragon battles and a little bit of mystery. My biggest issue with the book unfortunately was just how much I found Zarela to be irritating. Yes she is suppose to be a spoiled, selfish, and self righteous 18 year old, but my god it was hard reading from her POV. I honestly don’t see what Arturo even saw in her. For romance to be one of the main parts of this book it sure didn’t seem like it. The only reason I was able to finish the book was because I had already read about 50% of it and was determined to see how the mystery resolved itself. While the world and premise itself seemed interesting, the execution was lacking for me. So despite it not working out for me, definitely give it a go, mayb you’ll have a better experience then I did.
