GOODREADS SUMMARY
To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?
REVIEW
Jacinda, the awesome draki who can breathe fire, finds herself caught in the middle. Should she be a rebel and go off with Will, the draki hunter who understands her heart and just seems to be the right guy? Or should she give in to pressure and be with Cassian, the draki her pride has chosen for her? Cassian is featured much more than he was in Firelight, and I couldn’t make up my mind who was the better choice for Jacinda. Too bad she can’t choose both! I didn't look at so much as an emotional love triangle, because y'all know how I have grown tired of those. Instead, it was a choice that went deeper. Go against the pride or not? There is more at stake that just a romance and THAT is what it made Jacinda's choice so important.
It’s not all about romance. We’re talking about draki after all. That means POWERS and ACTION!
I learned all about Jacinda’s pride, and some of the cool draki powers, including the ability to disappear. Think of all the secrets you could find out by being invisible! It's a power that could easily be used for one's own personal gain. Speaking of secrets, Tamra, Jacinda’s sister has one of her own. It’s a BIG one too!
Vanish overflows with action! The draki hunters use helicopters, moving vehicles, and stun guns to capture their prey for the evil laboratory. The draki fight back with their strength, their ability to fly, and individual talents. Look out for some awesome fighting.
If you haven’t started this series, now is the time. Come on over to the draki side. Romance and action combine into one super hot series.

So COOL! Wait a second though. I thought Jacinda had red hair! Maybe this isn’t her after all. Don’t you love those amazing draki eyes? I sure do!
