The back of the ARC describes Firelight perfectly, "Mythical powers and irresistible passion ignite" to make Firelight one book that I was so enraptured with, I read it in one sitting. I've always been intrigued with the mythology of dragons, but I haven't read a book that made me really fall in love with them until I read Firelight. Sophie's characters and her world building hooked from page one and left me wishing her sequel was already out.Firelight introduces a whole new character in the paranormal world- a Draki. Draki's are descendants of dragons who can shift between both dragon and human forms. While the pride closely guards their secret and where they live, they can easily blend in with humans and no one would know it.
Jacinda's rare gift of fire breathing makes her a unique Draki who's excepted to be with Cassian, the brooding, hot, Draki Prince whom she was once close to. Now that she's closely watched by her pride, and doesn't have a say in her future, she yearns for freedom. Wanting to get away, Jacinda goes against the pride's rule and flies during the day. This not only puts her in warms way when Draki hunters spot her, but she endangers the whole pride. She also wouldn't have met the Draki hunter Will, who finds Jacinda's Draki just as fascinating as Jacinda finds him. What's even more surprising, is that Will protects her from the other hunters.
Jacinda's already lost her father. In order to protect Jacinda and not lose her to the Draki world as well, Jacinda's mom flees from the pride with Jacinda and her sister 13 yr Tamra. Living amongst human's isn't easy for a Draki and living with a mom and sister who can't under Jacinda's Draki needs is even harder. Jacinda struggles with her new life, finds herself at a new school and face to face with the hot Draki hunter Will.
Sophie's talent for writing romance makes for some amazingly hot chemistry between Jacinda, Cassian and Will. Will and Jacinda have an undeniable attraction that left the pages of Firelight smoldering. It's not only one of danger as she's a Draki and he's a Hunter, but there's something more to it. I was really drawn to it. That isn't to say there's no attraction with Cassian, but Jacinda fights it. She doesn't want to be with someone who she thinks rule over her. She yearns for her freedom and wants to be loved for who she is, and not what she can do. Personally, I think there's more to Cassian than how Jacinda portrays him. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of them together in the sequel.
With it's hot chemistry, a captivating world, and an amazing dragon mythology, Firelight is one book I'll be reading over again. If you're looking for a fresh paranormal book to read, I highly recommend picking up Firelight.

Firelight Sophie Jordan Books Reviews
I read this book as part of my twitter chat with #yearofya January topic of 1st in a female fantasy series when we will be discussing all of our read, please join us 1/30 at 8PM EST. Jacinda is a drake which is a dragon/human. She can become a dragon and lives in a pride with her mother (her father died) and her sister, Tamra who is not a draki at all. Jacinda is also a firebreather and there has not been one for hundreds of years so the pride wants her to make more fire breathing dragons with Cassian (a childhood friend) whose father is head of the pride. Jacinda can also take human form and remain that way but if she is angered or upset she can't help becoming a dragon and that is a big problem. Jacinda and her friend sneak out one night to fly around (prohibited) but find they are being pursued by the human hunters who hunt for these draki- in the process of getting away Jacinda's wing is compromised and she must hide in a cave which is on a pond. There a human hunter, Will, finds her but does not alert the other hunters instead telling them nothing is there. Jacinda gets in so much trouble, her mom panics and makes them all leave in the dead of night, but Jacinda can't stop thinking about the hunter, his eyes and his wet hair. Imagine her surprise when this guy is at her new high school and they are increasingly drawn to each other. I loved this first in a series and will be finishing the other 2 books. When I taught an online course at Arcadia University, my students raved about this book!
I haven't re-read this book for awhile and it was just as amazing as the last time I read it. Jacinda is of a mythical race known as the Draki. Draki descend from Dragons but they can demanifest into looking human for a good part of their life. There are many different prides and they pretty much stay together and protect one another. Their enemy are hunters, humans who hunt them down and kill them for their skin and their strength, and enkros. Jacinda's father disappeared and they figure he was most likely killed by Hunters or Enkros. Her mother doesn't really manifest anymore and she pretty much let her Draki side die. Also, her twin sister Tamra never manifested so she's treated like a pariah in their pride. One day Jacinda and her best friend sneak out so they can fly during the day which is forbidden. Hunters find them and Jacinda hides in a cave. That's where she sees Will, a young hunter, who thinks she's beautiful and keeps his family from finding and hurting her.
Jacinda is of a mythical race but she's even more rare in it because she's the first Firebreather in a long time. The Alpha of her pride has decided that she's meant for his son Cassian. Cassian will become Alpha one day and he's got his sights set on Jacinda. After the pride finds out that she put her life in jeopardy and their pride, she flees with her mother and sister. She didn't want to leave but she didn't have much choice. They move to an area that is pretty much desert and it is so dry and horrible for Draki's. When her and Tamra start school, Jacinda sees Will again and she can sense him and feel him. She's attracted to him big time but she also knows he's a hunter.
Will is in a family of hunters and he hates it. He's with them as long as he has to be but once he finishes school and such, then he wants to leave. He is incredibly strong and has a great ability as a hunter. He can't stop what he feels for Jacinda but he tries to hide it because his cousin Xander always is in competition with him. He and his family never knew that Draki could turn into looking human. He tries to stay away from her but he can't. Then when he finds out what she then he really can't stay away. But he's keeping a big secret from her as well.
Definitely worth reading. This is a wonderful book and an amazing series.
