Henchgirl by Rita Stradling
5.0

I loved it!

This is a great, light fantasy story with dragons, dracons (human/dragon crossbreed), vampires, even an odd witch and troll or two...

The story is written very engagingly, in a casual style, that makes you just feel like you are talking to your best friend about her adventures. You kept turning the pages, and I read just about the whole book in one sitting.

There's a couple of twists in the plot, which believe it or not I wasn't expecting.

There's a vague Hawaiian-feeling to the book; the island where the story takes place is similar in feel to Hawaii, but the author points out in the back of the book that it isn't meant to be Hawaii.

The only negative is that this is definitely the first book of a series, and though the overall plot of the first book was resolved, the story isn't really over.
