I didn't dislike her, but I didn't feel strongly attached to her, either. I'm guessing, based on events at the end of this installment, that they will be explained more fully in Vanish. But despite this, Firelight has a lot of potential - the Draki lore is interesting and I would have liked to find out more about the Enkros, who were mentioned again and again but never really fully explained. And of course, the gorgeous, aloof dream boy hiding a deep, dark secret, who falls hopelessly in love with our heroine, the new girl, at first sight. It's an interesting idea (blending shapeshifting lore with dragon mythology) but unfortunately Jordan doesn't focus on the mythological aspect of Jocinda's story, instead falling back on cliched high school tropes, such as the bitchy cheerleading team and the bad boy who is even more dangerous than he first appears. But Jacinda is a fire-breather, one of the rarest species of her kind, and she is forced to flee from her own Pride, who want to use her for her abilities. Jacinda is a Draki - descended from dragons, her people can switch between dragon and human form, a secret they have kept over the generations, a secret that keeps them safe from the people who hunt them for the magical properties of their skin. Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.

Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy. But her inner draki is slowly slipping awayif it dies she will be left as a human forever.

Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. For Jacinda is a drakia descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.įorced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings.

A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices.

Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched.
