The Dragon Protector asking Mackenzie for a favor—Maybe the sky truly has fallen.
Mackenzie works for Catch and Release, a bounty-hunting guild, and she loves her job. She goes after the usual suspects: Rogue vampires, feral shifters, and crazed mages. Nightmare stuff.
The last thing she ever imagined was Lucan, an infuriating and high-ranking dragon shifter, hiring her to find a child kidnapped from his Tribe. Even though her magical talents lean more towards bodyguarding and hunting dangerous beings, condemning a kid to death isn’t who she is.
But as Mackenzie gets deeper into her hunt, she uncovers deadly secrets surrounding the child, the kidnapper, and Lucan himself.
One thing’s for sure; when the going gets tough, Mackenzie gets dangerous.
Also in this series: Green Mage, Green Shadow, Catch and Release
“I must have a death wish. Why else would I continue to piss off a powerful dragon shifter? – 41% Green Gryphon”
Green Gryphon is book one in the Mackenzie Green series by JS Kennedy. This novel was a recommendation on Kindle Unlimited after I read The Death Before Dragons series.
My fist impression was this has the set up of the Kate Daniels series, but also different. It’s fast-paced and action-packed. Featuring a kick-ass heroine with significant powers trying to hide in plan sight from those that created her. We’re treated to mysteries inside mysteries. Twists and turns that keep you on your toes. The author also does a superb job of building the world and explaining all the different factions, supernaturals, and how the world became what it is.
The beginning was a bit slow, but things do soon pick up and you’re on a wild ride. I loved the verity of supernaturals. I also enjoyed the mysteries. We get several side-characters that add to the story and make you want to know their secrets.
There is a potential for a romance, but that’s not the focus. We see it build slow and it doesn’t come to fruition until book 3. Yes, I binged the first 3 books. What took this novel down was seeing Mackenzie go mushy over our hero who is awful to her from the start and me not seeing any redeeming qualities on him in this novel.
Green Gryphon was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the magic, mystery, and adventure. It’s a mix of Hidden Legacy and Kate Daniels for those that like those worlds. As I said I binged the three books out and hope more are coming. Love the cover!
