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

We meet Sue-Ellen early in the Dragon Point series. If you’ve started this series, you will remember her as the sister of Brandon Mercer, the hero of Becoming Dragon, the first book in the series. She leaves her mother and brother to go live with her rich Uncle Theo (aka Parker). She seems really happy, that is until she upsets her uncle.

The story starts off years ago. Sue-Ellen is snooping around in her uncle’s office to find a hidden door in the bookcase (doesn’t everyone want a secret room behind a bookcase? Why do only villains get to have these, I ask with all seriousness.) She finds a boy strapped to a hospital bed. She feels a connection to him and she stays with her uncle to stay with him.

I don’t want to say much more, because there are spoilers to earlier books in the series. I will just say that this continues to be a very fun and hilarious series by Eve Langlais but with dragons. Who doesn’t love dragons?

The one thing I will say that just a little bit disappointed about this story is that there is something about the characters that Eve has used before (and fairly recently, in a different series). I felt like I was reliving that book just a teeny bit. I do know that this one will be different, but still it disappointed me a bit. I still greatly loved this book even with that slight disappointment. I wouldn’t tell anyone who has already read the other series to not read this one or the other way around. I know that is very vague, but I’m trying to avoid spoilers for both series. I’m sorry if I’m going around in circles.

Narration
Chandra Skyye continues with the narration of this series. I’ve written a ton of reviews with her narration. I like her, but I don’t love her. I don’t think her range of voices is very large, but she does a good job. I would like to see her bring out the humor a bit more.
