Becoming Dragon by Eve Langlais

Becoming Dragon (Dragon Point, #1)

by Eve Langlais

Are you ready to meet dragons?

Brandon started out life as a simple gator shifter in the swamp. Now he's a monster. And beasts don't get fairy tale endings.

Apparently someone needs to explain that to Aimi. The woman with silver hair, and attitude, has this ridiculous notion that Brandon is something else. Something impossible.

I am not a dragon. 

But dragons do exist. They live hidden among the humans and shifters, but his uncle Theo wants to change that and doesn't care who he hurts along the way. Even family.

Can Brandon stop him before it's too late?

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

Dragon Point is a spin off series from Bitten Point, which is a spin off from Kodiak Point series. While all the series are lightly connected, they can each be read without having read the series prior to it. If you want to read the stories in chronological order, you should start with Kodiak Point. Read those five books (and a Christmas novella that is really fun), then tackle Bitten Point and then Dragon Point. Again, you can read them completely separate from each other too.

The big difference in this story is that Dragon Point isn’t a place like Kodiak Point and Bitten Point. This is a dragon society. Dragons have kept themselves hidden. Even the shifters don’t realize that dragons exist. There are many different septs of dragon. They are broken out by color. Our heroine is part of the silver sept. There are many other septs including red, blue, yellow, etc. There are even stories about a gold sept, which would be the most powerful, if they weren’t extinct. They each have their own territories.

This story starts off with Brandon, who we meet in Bitten Point. He was born a gator shifter, however, his uncle experimented on him and changed him into a lizard man with wings. He’s been on the run for a few years. He originally went along with his uncle’s plans because his uncle has his little sister. But finally escaped. Now he is trying to find his sister so he can rescue her.

He stumbles upon Aimi. She must mate or be forced to live with her overbearing mother forever. The rules that dragons set up to try to increase their numbers since the Middle Ages require that females must mate and reproduce with good dragon stock. Aimi and her twin sister have less than a year to find a mate. However, there are more female dragons than males. Her mother wants her to just find a man that she can mate, not for love, but for babies, just like the mother had.

So this is exactly what I expected from an Eve Langlais book. It had stubborn women and men with more than their fair share of snark. The heroine has crazy family members. There is a ton of humor. I loved the new dragon world that she’s created within the shifter world of the previous two series. I’m excited to see more book in this series. I want to see more of these dragons. And lastly, you must try this series because DRAGONS!!

Narration
3.5 Hearts
Chandra Skyye is again the narrator of this series. She’s also narrated the Kodiak Point and Bitten Point series (as well as Eve’s Sci-Fi series Space Gypsy Chronicles). While she isn’t my favorite narrator, I’ve gotten used to her. She does an okay job. The voices of the book are different, however, she doesn’t have a wide range of voices, so new characters in a book will sound like a different character in a previous book.

**I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
