Firelight by Sophie Jordan

A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.
Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki, a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.
Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.
Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.

OMG, I finally read this book and LOVED IT :D It was truly amazing. I was a fantastic read and I devoured this book in a less than a day! It was that awesome :)

I really loved the whole concept of this book! Dragon shifters :) AMAZING! It was something so different. I loved the vivid description the author gives of the dragons! I could just picture it in my mind. And the characters were amazing!

I really liked Jacinda. I know a lot of people said she was annoying and whinny, but with me that wasn't the case. I felt she showed real emotions and I could understand and sympathize what she was going through. I mean come on, put yourself in her shoes and see how she felt.

And Will was just amazing :) The kind of guy I would love to date, you know, beside the hunting! lol I love the chemistry between the two. It was heartfelt and I could really see their connection.

Jacinda's sister was a little selfish to many. I understood what she went through, but to me she couldn't see that Jacinda was going through the exact same thing. So how couldn't she relate? IDK

I really like the action, suspense, and secrecy of this book. That's what made it so amazing! I now need to get my hands on book 2 effective immediately!!!!

I definitely recommend this book! It was an amazing read and enjoyed it so much :)
