Author's Book Description : All Katie Lin wants is to get away from her family: from the magic, from the mayhem, and from the never-ending war.
Unfortunately, someone has other ideas, and sends her a box. A box that jumps.
The tiny fire hazard inside may just force her back to Wales – and right into the path of a dragon war, the Crow King, and at least one reluctant elf prince. Sometimes, running away just doesn’t work as planned.
My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! Katie--a descendant of "Merlin"--just wants a normal life. However, the "normal" life she carved out for herself will never be the same when her "Uncle Merlin" leaves a mystical white baby dragon on her front porch. After that, all bets are off...
WOW!! I loved Katie and her quirky ways. This intense novella hooks you and keeps you asking for more! I hope Katie will play a "main" role in this series as she is very entertaining and I'd love to see who she would choose if she got into a lasting relationship. I can't wait to see where this series will take us next. Oh, by the way, can I have a baby dragon too?
I highly recommend this novella and series to those who read paranormal and fantasy books.

Book Teaser(s) :
Mother-of-pearl scales gleamed all over its ridiculously long, thin neck. The wee round-bellied body rested on tiny curved legs and a tail long enough to balance that neck. Its head was a drawn-out diamond, long and narrow, and its snout was so thin that the flare of its nostrils only emphasized the entire disproportionate cuteness of the whole package.
I’d never seen anything so adorable in my life.
Without warning, he chirped at me and jumped off the counter.
I caught him just before he hit the floor. He felt fragile like a frog — warm and soft with loose, smooth skin over teeny tiny bones. I stroked his sides and his tiny little legs, winced at the sharpness of his adorable little claws, and discovered an outline of wings still hidden under the skin of his ridged back.
He looked at me warmly, leaned into my touch, and then puked fire all over my boots. ~ within Chapter 1 - titled 'The Box'
He threw his hands in the air. “You’re mad. Completely, utterly, batshitterly mad.”For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by Ruthanne, then please check out her website.
“Batshitterly?” Well, that did it. Here we were, entangled in literal draconian conspiracies, and now Grey was making up words. I started to giggle.
“This isn’t funny!” Grey stared up at me from the floor.
“It’s laugh or cry, right?” I couldn’t stop giggling. Batshitterly was going on my vocabulary list.
“Or rage and rant. I prefer ranting,” said Grey.
“Well, I prefer laughing. So! Are we going, or not? Come on. It’s like you’ve never been on an adventure before.” ~ within Chapter 2 - titled 'The Starling'
