Review:

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World by Dianna Love is the 8^th book in her 9 book arc.  Refresher: Daegan and his team are attacked by Immortiks, who were supposed dead many years ago. They are racing against time to find the missing ‘grimoire volumes, before the tribunal kills some of their Beladors held in captivity. All of Daegan’s team are each involved in various dangerous situations along the way.

The story picks up with Daegan and Casidhe being transported by the oracle to a place underground with no exits; they both are panicking, feeling trapped. Daegan still does not trust Casidhe, though he needs her help to find the grimoire volume, as the oracle says they must be together to find them. Slowly they find different areas and markings giving them hope to find a way out or find the blood stone needed by the oracle.  From start to finish, the part covering Daegan and Casidhe are wild and crazy, but the best part was when they each learn to trust themselves, and find the truth, bringing them closer again.  But there is still a crazy wild escapade ongoing.

Adrianna, still imprisoned by Immortiks, is desperate to use her Witchlock before the Immortik takes over her body and changes her to a monster under his rule.  Evalle, Reese, Quinn, Tristan and Isaak are battling demons, and doing everything they can to find Adrianna. When there is an explosion, the worry is if Adrianna is still alive?  

Reese, very much pregnant, is helping find demons and fight them, with help from Evalle and the group.  She is desperate to find the leader of the demons, who wants her baby.  Will Reese be able to stop the attack and survive?

Each team has their hands full, and on another front Macha is very much trying to find Daegan and kill him, and teams up with Cathbad.  Will she be able to stop Queen Maeve from ruining her plans?  There is so much going on, it is hard to keep up with them all.  There are still the ice dragons who are after Daegan. .  I am not going to tell too much more, since I do not want to give spoilers.

The exciting climax pushes so many buttons, as we race to the final book in this 9 book arc.  Who will survive? Will Casidhe learn her true identity? Will Adrianna and Reese survive the attacks? Will Daegan and Casidhe stay together? I do hope most of the horrible villains do die.  ? So many questions remain, as I for one cannot wait to read this final book.   As I have said previously, this is a 9-book series arc and you truly do need to read these books in cohesion.  If you love paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, romance, great characters, you should be reading Dianna Love.
