Synopsis

Continue to hide or help save the very kin she’s hidden from?

Welcome to SYN Consulting, the top business strategy consulting firm in Europe, home to a motley crew whose leader has a life changing secret. CEO, Danica Lestrange, is the first female dragon born in the last 800 years. Hidden from the rest of her kin and raised in the human world, she built a life that she would defend until her death.

A devious plan is unearthed while working on a new business deal that could plunge the dragons into another war with the humans. The humans may have forgotten the last dragon-human war, but the dragons have not. Will the war reveal this hidden world to the humans, or will the clans come together to defeat their enemies and maintain their anonymity?

Danica must gather her allies and help the very dragons she’s hidden from her whole life. She can only hope that she’ll be strong enough to protect her chosen family.

This is the first book in a new series about dragons who want nothing more than to live in peace, but refuse to be subjugated. In war there’s also love, and love is blind. Love doesn’t care about gender, race, species (in this case), or sexuality.

Attention: This book contains explicit sexual content between consenting adults. The sexual scenes are MM, MF, and MMF. There are romantic relationships depicted that are MM. There is also a high level of explicit language, snark, kink, and possibly bad puns and fart jokes.

This book ends in a cliffhanger.

Dragon War Chronicles is a continuous series. It is best read in order.

Fantastic story! Wonderful audio performance!

SYN Consulting is only the second book I’ve read by A.G. Carothers and boy did I love this one. The story is great but the audio performance by Michael Ferraiuolo was simply outstanding. I’ve listened to several of his audio performances and loved them all, but I think he really outdid himself with this one. There are so many different characters and accents in this story but it wasn’t difficult at all to keep track of who was speaking because he found the perfect voice for each of them.

If you read the blurb then you know that this book ends on a cliffhanger. I am not a fan of books with cliffhangers but I knew going in that there would be one. (I really hate it when a cliffhanger comes as a surprise.) This story is worth the agony of waiting for the next in the series to be available as an audiobook. If I decide that I can’t wait then I can read the e-books, four of which are available now. From what I could tell on Amazon, it looks like there will be at least two more books for a total of six.

A lot of this book is setting up relationships and scenarios for things that I am sure are coming in the series. There are multiple sexual relationships between consenting adults – MM, MF and MMF. There are also many different shifters – bear, wolf, fox, etc. – and of course, dragons. This is the first dragon shifter book I’ve read and I maybe hooked now. 😊

I found the entire story captivating and I listened to the 6+ hour audiobook straight through in one afternoon/evening. I know that audiobooks are expensive for authors to produce but I sincerely hope that Michael Ferraiuolo will be performing the remaining books in this series.
