Zinnia

Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
As the last dragon shifter, I live alone, hiding in one of Earth’s sacred deserts. My human handlers tell me that I have no parents, no name, and no purpose other than to train for battle and one day become a vessel for the reincarnation of Chimera, the greatest dragon shifter of all. Sadly, Chimera’s rebirth will mean my own death. But my handlers say this sacrifice is a noble fate that will rebuild the dragon shifter world.
I shall die on my seventeenth birthday. That’s five days from now.
Then I hear music thumping across the desert. I take my mortal form, follow the sound, and find humans dancing in what they call a rave. There is a stage and a rock band. One thing quickly becomes clear: Unlike the audience, the musicians are dragon shifters, just like me. And one of them, the guitar player Rhodes, makes my knees turn watery. The lead singer, Kaps, has something strangely familiar about her.
It all adds up to one conclusion: My handlers lied to me. I’m not the last of my kind. Memories reappear. I had parents once. Portia and Tempest. I even had a name. Zinnia. Perhaps I have a reason to live as well. I step past the dancing humans to confront the players.
I will find out the full truth, no matter what.

My Review:
I fell in love with the Angelbound world when I read Myla's story in the first book of the Angelbound world and I have honestly and truly loved continuing this world with her offspring in the Angelbound Offspring world.
Zinnia is about Myla's granddaughter and Portia's daughter. When Zinnia was a just a little girl she was taken from her family and her best friend Rhodes, her Rhana or soulmate. Zinnia's memory is erased and she is told that she is the last of her kind and is the only one who can save her people.
Zinnia trains her whole life to save her people from extinction. She is lied to over and over. She knows something is not quite right with her situation and is determined to find the truth. Can Zinnia find the answers she needs? Will she ever get her memories back? Can she find a way out of her predicament? Can she find her way back to her Rhana and her family?
Zinnia is an amazing addition to the Angelbound world. It will keep you on your toes with all the action and twists and turns. The characters are all so believable and so real. You feel as if you are right there with them and a part of their world. You feel as if you could just reach right out and touch a dragon and know what its scales would feel like. Then there's the tail that Zinnia inherited from her grandmother Myla, now you have to respect the tail.
When I am reading any of the Angelbound books I can see them playing out in my head like a movie. Oh I would so love to see the Angelbound world on the big screen as a series or movie. This is one amazing world that I can't in no way seem to get enough of and can't wait for the next book in this world.
I highly recommend Zinnia and any of the books in the Angelbound world to anyone who are into to dragons, demons, magic, love and really good books.
