Off the Bookshelf: HOW TO DATE YOUR DRAGON, by Molly Harper

 

Audible Original

Narrated by Amanda Ronconi and Jonathan Davis

Have I mentioned how much I love Mystic Bayou?

This is the first book in the series. Figures! I always seem to find  fun new series, and start in the middle somewhere.

This is the fantasy romance that started it all. Jillian Ramsay works for the League for Interspecies Cooperation, and her first field assignment is an enormous challenge: studying the residents of Mystic Bayou to find out just how for several generations the magical, mythical residents get along just fine, living pretty much in the open with their ordinary Human neighbors. The League needs to figure this out, because technology is making it harder than ever for magical creatures to hide evidence of their existence. They need to be prepared to handle the fallout when the news breaks.

There are a few not-so-minor problems facing Jillian from day one, starting with the Rift that seems to be leaking magic into the world, and causing people with no magic in their heritage to suddenly become magical creatures. Add in some residents who aren't exactly thrilled to be under the scrutiny of the League, or anyone else. And what might just be a serial killer -- and Jillian's interviews might just be tying the victims together. But the capper is the sheriff, Bael Boon. Is it a spoiler to tell you he's the dragon of the title? Well, it's pretty obvious within the first couple chapters, but I don't want to ruin the fun!

Love this fun, sometimes silly, clever little mystery and romance and romp through a modern-day magical world.
