โAn extraordinarily entertaining and innovative treatment of dragons . . . the relationships among the characters are extraordinarily well developed. I recommend this book highly, if only to prove that when it comes to dragons, we have seen much, but there is more to see.โ

โMs. Anna Carven mentioned this book recently on Facebook as one of the books that made an impact on her, so I had to read this one. And I do not regret it. I went through a whole lot of emotions.โ

โBest. Books. Ever. This author truly has a knack for story-telling. Her characters are believable, well-developed, and likeable and the details are done just right. Can't wait for more!โ

โI could not put this book down. Wow, just pulled me in with the politics, world- building, character development, and heart wrenching love story. It is also extremely clean in the bedroom while still maintaining a good current of chemistry between ODC.โ

The Viperโs Kiss -
โOkay, nobody tell, but I think I like Amy Beatty's "Out of the Fire" better than the original 1877 "Through the Fire." Ms. Beatty just has a knack for descriptive imagery; I was mesmerized. The story: A fire fairy princess and a water fairy prince fall in loveโwhat's the worst that can happen?โ
