Synopsis: "Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons."

I'm going to start this review being completely honest with you... the beginning of this book was incredible slow... YES, really slow... actually I was kind of afraid that I was going to hate one of the books I was most excited about, but, fortunately that didn't happen, I truly loved this book and ended up giving to it 5 stars... and believe me when I say that if I could I would've given even more to it.
I loved pretty much everything about this book.
At the beginning of the story I was like: "Wasn't this book supposed to be about a girl/dragon who actually falls in love with a "dragon hunter"?" - because I was reading, and reading, and reading... and nothing was happening. Then a guy appears in Ember's life... but he was not the "dragon hunter"... he was another dragon, a rogue more precisely... and then BOOM... the dragon hunter appears and my world starts spinning around... until that moment when... ANOTHER BOOM... I get tired of the soldier guy - yes, the "dragon hunter" - and start loving the dragon/bad dragon/rogue guy... yes, my head is like my world right now... SPINNING AROUND.
I loved all of the characters in this book... I really could understand and kind of relate with the main character, even if sometimes I just wanted to punch her face, but I liked her a lot...
At some point I was so confused you can't even imagine... you know when there's a love triangle ?! So... the thing here is, this love triangle is formed by a girl (main character - obviously) and two boys ok? the Rogue guy and the Soldier guy... and at some point of this book I hated the soldier guy and I loved the rogue guy... but then, something happened and I started loving the rogue guy and kind of disliking the soldier guy... See? I told you I was confused...
The plot... talking about the plot.. just WOW... it was just amazing. The development of this story was just awesome, the development of the characters, of the story line... it was just WOW, seriously, I am out of words...
The writing style was pretty good... I'm not saying that she's now my favorite author because I don't feel that way... I've read better in terms of writing style... BUT I loved her imagination, I loved this whole story about dragons and the "dragon" world... about Talon... about the rogue dragons... EVERYTHING, it was just magic.
DESCRIPTION?... GOSH, I loved it... I felt like the dragons were actually in front of me... and believe me, they were soooo beautiful... everything was so beautiful about this book.
And last but definitely not least... TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT BOOK COVER! I'll be totally honest with you, the only reason why I wanted this book at the beginning, was because of this awesome cover... I mean look at it, it is soooooo gorgeous... it is dragon skin, dragon scales... just WOW... (and obviously because I have a "secret" but not that secret passion with dragons... I love dragons so much, they are so incredible beautiful).
I recommend this book to everyone in this world especially if you are a fan of Fantasy stories, this one is just awesome (and I don't get tired of saying it). I just can't wait to own and to read the second book Rogue... I WANT IT NOW!
