Book Review: House of Fire and Magic by Sherrilyn Kenyon

You know those moments when you need to be whisked away to another world? House of Fire and Magic showed up when I needed it most, and oh, did it deliver! 

I was immediately caught up in this tale of Dragons, Unicorns, and many other creatures. Not one of them is stereotypical, so if you’re thinking fluff, glitter, and rainbows, you are way off! 

I can always count on this author’s magical touch with words. I have been a fan of her writing for more years than I care to count. I will admit that the similarity of our names first drew me to her work back in my old bookseller days, but her craft kept me hooked from book one. 

So, if you need to be transported to another world—one filled with magic and adventure—I highly recommend you grab this one. However, if you tend to read while sipping your favorite hot beverage, be prepared to have to reheat it at least once after you’ve gotten lost in this wonderful story.

From Goodreads:

TAKE BACK YOUR KINGDOM

Unicorns and Dragons never mix. For centuries, they’ve been bitter enemies and their kingdoms at war. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Tanis’s beloved older brother and heir to their throne has been slain by a human who continues to flaunt her brother’s death.

To restore her family’s honor, she’s willing to make a deal with a Unicorn shapeshifter so that she can infiltrate the human kingdom and recapture what was so cruelly taken.

But Dash Coeur de Noir isn’t just any Unicorn, as the High King he’s the most hated and feared of his breed and he’s on his own mission when the Dragon, Tanis, crosses his path– to reclaim his sister’s horn that was brutally taken. In the wrong hands, that horn could destroy the fragile peace that has kept the Thirteen Kingdoms from destroying each other.

In a world built on magic, blood, and betrayal no one can trust anyone. With a bounty on their heads and assassins and enemies out to claim them both, they must somehow learn to trust each other or watch their kingdoms burn.
