whitneykelley's review against another edition
This quote at 48% perfectly summarized what’s happening…and everything I don’t like about this book:
“You don’t even know her, Lucius.”
“My dragon does. He recognizes her.”
The fire stirring in my gut reminded me on a daily basis who she was to me. There was no denying it anymore.
Like seriously? I’d be fine with it if this was 10% in, but we’re half-way! They’ve only had a couple passing interactions and neither has made any attempt to get to know the other one’s personality. They jut fantasize about each other. For months. It doesn’t feel romantic to me at all.

Scumptious book, romance through and through. It is without much of a plot other than finding love, but I needed that.

I love fated mates romantic fantasy and this one worked for me. A human and a dragon shifter, heartbound. It is a quick read and despite the insta-love, it packed quite a lot of emotion. This was fun!

Oct. 2018: Soulfire has been re-released. I love the new cover. I also love the addition the author adds on when Lucius tells Jessen about the human princess and the Dragon King. The addition and when it was told where great. I had a fabulous time re-reading and enjoyed the story all over again. No changes to my thoughts on the first time reading, just have to say the small addition was nice and added to the story.

Soulfire is book one in the Nightwing series by Juliette Cross. This is my first read by author Juliette Cross. The sotryline and premise are good. The characters are defined and the world description is vivid and detailed.
I love dragon’s and when this one popped up to read, I had to give it a try. Lucius Nightwing is protective of a human, he feels the pull towards her and once his species finds their mate they have no control of it, but the racism is at an all time hi in this world. Morgan and humans do not mix, this brings out problems for this couple. It was interesting to learn about both sides of the story told to children in this world about the King of Dragons and a Princess. The humans have one tail and the dragons have a another. I also enjoyed watching Lucius and Jessen fall for each other. The banter between Jessen and Lucius was fun.
Soulfire is off to a great start and I look forward to reading more in the Nightwing series.

Simple quick spicy novella. Didn’t love the female narrators voice for the FMC. But I like Juliette cross writing & I’m excited to kelp going with this series
