Mercy Reynolds is a reporter in the San Francisco Bay area, but she’s also more—and less—than human. Half woman, half air dragon, she’s a “draman”—unable to shift shape but still able to unleash fiery energy. Now something will put her powers to the test.

Mercy’s friend Rainey has enlisted her help to solve her sister’s murder. Then a horrible accident claims Rainey’s life, leaving Mercy only five days to find the killer: If Mercy fails, according to dragon law, Rainey’s soul will be doomed to roam the earth for eternity. But how can Mercy help when she herself is a target? With nowhere else to turn, she must join forces with a sexy stranger—the mysterious man they call “Muerte,” or death itself, who’s as irresistible as he is treacherous. But can even Death keep Mercy alive for long enough to find her answers

A sizzling hot murder mystery with a likeable heroine and a dark and mysterious 'bad boy' hero.

I really enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down. I'm hoping there is more to come in this series.

Thanks amberC. Now I can read the first book in the series.

Paranormal romantic suspense. Fast-paced, easy reading, with likeable characters & extremely bad baddies.

I did find Mercy's constant need to change Damon's point of view quite irritating. After all, she'd barely known him 5 seconds & wasn't willing to give any ground herself. Hardly the basis of a great romance - find your soul mate & instantly set out to re-shape him. The man, or dragon, is a Council-paid assassin, it's what he does, just let him get on with it & stop with the moralising.

Apart from that, I enjoyed this & the previous book in this Myth & Magic series, Destiny Kills. It doesn't look like it's going to be more than a duology, but there are plenty more Keri Arthurs to read.
