REVIEW: Smoke and Fire (Dark Kings #9) by Donna Grant

Although I have read the other books in this series, Smoke and Fire (Dark Kings #9) by Donna Grant can be read as a stand alone book, as can the others in the series. The stories weave together well and each book is action packed. I will warn you that this book as with the others has a sort of cliff hanger, open ended, ending that will allow you to transition into the next book. This is the story of Ryder and Kinsey.

Ryder and Kinsey connected three years ago and started a relationship that was moving toward a commitment, When Ryder left with nothing but a note for Kinsey, she is confused and left to wonder what happened.

When an assignment throws Ryder and Kinsey back together and Kinsey finds out Ryders true nature, that he is a dragon shifter, it will confuse and frighten her. But they need to find a way to work together to find out who is pulling the strings that pushed her back into Ryder’s life.

As with the other books in this series, we get to see the characters from the previous books as well as their mates. You can tell that things are building towards a reveal of who is behind a lot of the goings on in this series. I enjoyed getting to see what the Reapers were up to as well. (They are featured in a spin-off series). What I love about Donna Grant and any of her series are that they are inter-connected without forcing the reader to have read every single book. If you enjoy a great shifter book that I would highly recommend this series.
