Draco by Autumn Reed & Julia ClarkeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Is That Flirting?
This is the second book in a continuing series. You need to read the first book, Phoenix, before reading this one. There is a minor cliffhanger as the story doesn’t conclude in this book, though it does come to a natural break.
Hayley is starting to settle in with Team Jaguar and now has a paying job at Zenith. She still has to spend all her time being watched by one of the guys, which is starting to get old, but she does enjoy her time with them. The team are giving her lots of new experiences; going to the beach, riding on a rollercoaster and dancing in a jazz club. She loves spending time with each of them, but she knows they still aren’t telling her everything.
This book continues the very slow-burn storyline that the first book established. The only slight increase in that element is that Hayley is starting to question if occasionally the men are flirting or not. From the outside, it’s clear that most of them, if not all, are interested in Hayley romantically but they have been told to stay away from her. For Hayley, that’s just confusing as she has so little experience with people in general, let alone with men who are much more experienced than she is.
Elements of this series are very sweet, but there is still an undercurrent of darkness because of all the secrets and Hayley didn’t choose to come to Santa Cruz in the first place. Becoming friendly with one’s kidnappers seems to be a bit reckless to me. Still, I’m enjoying the easy read. There’s nothing challenging about this book and it’s entertaining. Plus I’m enjoying reading about all the fun things to do in Santa Cruz!
