A Ritual of Fire is book one in The FBI Dragon Chronicles by J.L. Hendricks & J.A. Cipriano.
I love books that feature dragons in them and I was expecting a fun mystery urban fantasy read, but what I got was lackluster.
The mystery is a case featuring several dead supernaturals, but with no real leads on who is doing the killing and why. Both Alyson and Vlad are partners and have been assigned this case.
We are treated to Vlad and Alyson’s POV’s and I like POV’s, but what I didn’t enjoy was that both characters fancy each other, but neither wants the other to know. The authors focused a lot on this in what I read and completely took away from the mystery and urban fantasy vibe.
The whole feel was slow to start and I couldn’t get into the story or world and so, I ended up DNF’ing this at 36%.
A Ritual of Fire as not the book for me. If the blurb intrigues you, I urge you to give it a shot. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.
Rated: DNF 36%

Ya! I did want to enjoy, but unfortunately it wasn’t for me. Not all can be hits.
Bummer it was a fizzler. I love the combo of urban fantasy and mystery, too.
Ya I was intrigued by this one, but unfortunately it just didn’t work for me. Thanks for visiting!
Oh too bad it looked intriguing!
