Looks like this is a more YA spin on her popular Drakon series. First book is called The Sweetest Dark.

She has taken so long to write this and then to find her going into YA territory. I love YA novels but I can't help but feel this was publisher encouraged.

At least now I know what she has been up to the last few years. Smile

I love her earlier romances..The Truelove Bride, Promise of Rain and her first book in this series, The Smoke Thief. I really don't read much YA. I wish she would write another romance at some point, but the sales must be in YA at this time.

I do agree about the YA. . .and I wish I did not see the beginnings of a love triangle in the synopsis. It seems like nobody can write a YA anymore without a love triangle. I get that both Twilight and the HG (to some extent) have a love triangle but seriously. . .branch out!

still, I love the Smoke Thief series (though I did find them a bit uneven in the execution), and I am really hoping that this is good.
