Dragons Don't Eat Meat by Kim McDougall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Valkyrie and pest controller with a soft heart Kyra discovers that someone is killing dragons when she finds an abandoned baby dragon. She doesn't want to take him home but until she can locate his thunder and take him back feels she has to care for him even though her apartment is already full of recused animals. She has a basilisk who thinks he is a turkey a pygmy Kraken and her roommate is a banshee who fills in as a nanny to them all. It might seem strange, but to her, they are her family and when that family is threatened she will risk all to save them. As part of that, she joins forces with the handsome and irritating captain of the city’s vigilante Guardians, who never fails to be around at her most undignified moments. Along with a quirky cast of misfits and unruly critters, Kyra leaves the safety of Montreal Ward and travel through the dangerous Inbetween—the land beyond the protected city-states, where magic is the only rule of law—to reunite the lost dragon with his thunder and stop a new and sinister force from invading their home.

I loved this story which had magical creatures, an evil plot, an underlying sexual tension between Kyra and Mason, lots of danger and drama and some moments of both crushing loss and happiness. I really enjoyed the story and the way it developed. I found the sections of her blog with comments a little weird although it didn't distract too much from the story. I'm intrigued by what happens next and if they can stop the next phase in the evil plot as well as if Mason will finally see who is in front of his face and do what we all want him to do. Well written and easy to read and understand.
