Ok, so netflix has this idea of me and this is all it shows me ;)

So I watched it. It was a HS movie but without the usual drama.

Brooks had the perfect girl in front of him, but yes it takes the entire movie to see it, obviously.

I enjoyed it.

Recommend or not?

Well it depends, but you can watch it if nothing else is on. It was amusing at times.

My third time listening! I had no review books so it was time for a re-listen.  What? New books? Nah, I am good ;)

OMG. I know you have read my reviews before , BUT

Best series in the world? Probably

Best narrator? Obviously 

A must listen in audio? DEFINETELY! Like wtf are you waiting for?

As the smallest dragon in the Heartstriker clan, Julius survives by a simple code: keep quiet, don’t cause trouble, and stay out of the way of bigger dragons. But this meek behavior doesn't fly in a family of ambitious magical predators, and his mother, Bethesda the Heartstriker, has finally reached the end of her patience.

Now, sealed in human form and banished to the DFZ--a vertical metropolis built on the ruins of Old Detroit--Julius has one month to prove that he can be a ruthless dragon or kiss his true shape goodbye forever. But in a city of modern mages and vengeful spirits where dragons are considered monsters to be exterminated, he’s going to need some serious help to survive this test.

He only hopes humans are more trustworthy than dragons...

Do you enjoy reading holiday-themed books at the holidays or year-round?

Since I listen to a lot of review books I tend to start the holiday books in September. I would love to read them all late Nov or in Dec. That would be awesome. But as it stands now I have nothing for December. Maybe I can dig out some little freebie novella
