Review + Giveaway: Dragon Dreams by Dusty Lynn Holloway
Dragon Dreams (The Chronicles of Shadow and Light #1)
Synopsis:
A prophecy of murder.
An elf hunted by dragons.
One man that risks everything to save her.
Nachal is a human that should not be having prophetic Dragon Dreams. But he does. Every night he dreams of an elf running through flames, trying in vain to outrun the Rebel Dragon Obsidian. Every night he sees her fall. Sees her eyes close. Feels her heart as it slows, and then stops. Every night, through the connection of the dream, he dies with her. It's a spiral that he can't control, and it's slowly driving him insane.
Auri is an elf raised by a powerful human king not of her own blood. Left behind by the mother who perished far from the elven isle El`dell, she seeks to forge her life among the humans. Secrets lie in the wake of tragedy, and she must leave to find the answers. Her journey takes her to the land of her heritage. To a place that holds both a haunting betrayal, and a miracle that just might save her life.
Liran is the commander of the most elite fighting force on Terradin. A select few, known only as the the Watchers, search with ever increasing fervency for the turn of the tide. The queen of power that will save them all from utter annihilation.
Together, they become embroiled in a conspiracy where destinies are intertwined, love is born in the fallout of ultimate sacrifice, and the only path to victory lies through the searing flames of dragon fire.

My Review:
5 stars
I am a lover of fantasy so when I came across Dusty's Dragon Dreams I knew I wanted to read it. Dragons, elves, dwarves....what more could a girl like me ask for? What Dusty has created is a beautiful world with captivating characters that will intrigue you from the very beginning.
The details that the author put into this book were amazing and I really loved getting to know so much about the characters. I hate when I am left wondering about something (no matter how small it may seem) and then left hanging never getting the answers or understanding the point of what has happened/is going on. I did not have to worry though, I was given plenty and left wanting more.

Dragon Ties (The Chronicles of Shadow and Light #2)
Synopsis:
Having barely escaped from the Plains of Fire with her life, Auri follows the pleas of her father and sets out for the safety and knowledge of the Dragon Masters. Once there, she hopes to immerse herself in their training and become the decisive edge that Terradin needs to stop Obsidian and his Rebels.
But before her journey has even truly begun, someone dear to her is ripped away from her. Reeling from the loss, and with Terradin growing ever darker around her, she is forced to make a terrible decision that will have lasting repercussions.
Does she cling to what once was? Or does she reforge herself anew like the fabled phoenix, and rise from the ashes to burn brighter than ever before.

About the Author:
Dusty lives in California with her two children who keep her very busy. She has superpowers, but doesn't like to talk about them, frequently bemoans the fact that she doesn't have See's Candy stock, thinks taking care of yourself is a way of life and not just a fad, and tries to live each day with the motto that you only get one life to live, so live it well, and live it to the fullest.
As an avid watcher of movies and reader of books, she frequently considers herself a ninja (especially around spiders), wishes that the owners of the beach house she loves would just give her the keys already, and really wants the car Kit from Knight Rider to be tucked snugly in her garage. She doesn't think he'd mind being painted blue.
She'd love to hear from you! You can find her on Twitter, Linkdin, Facebook and Goodreads.
