The Dragon Conspiracy<\/a><\/em> (2015) Lisa Shearin<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is the second book of the SPI files, and a fun romp.<\/p>\n

But is also has a few things that are quite different from other books in this genre. Such as this:<\/p>\n

Starting a romantic relationship with Ian and having it go bad would make our time at work awkward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wanted to do a happy dance when I read that. <\/p>\n

But it’s also just plain fun.<\/p>\n

I was confused. \u201cBut isn\u2019t the Queen of Dreams the pink diamond?\u201d
\n\u201cIt is.\u201d
\n\u201cBut pink\u2019s a nice color.\u201d
\n\u201cNot for goblins. Pink is the color of pure evil.\u201d
\nI had a flashback to shopping for one of my nieces in the all-pink Barbie aisle at Toys \u201cR\u201d Us. I had to admit, it had creeped me out. I nodded. \u201cI can see that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a witty romp where the main character is female, isn’t unbreakable and KNOWS it, and although she appreciates fine looking men, is capable of concentrating on her work.<\/p>\n

I really like this series.
\nRating: 8.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
