Before I give you the Teaser, I wanted to chat about Twins. Why Twins, well if you have read Firelight and are a fan of the series, you will know that Jacinda and Tamra are Twins. So I thought of sharing some famous Twins in History. 

Tia & Tamera Mowry 

Scarlett and Hunter Johansson

May-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Barbara and Jenna Bush

Fred and George Weasley 
(James and Oliver Phelps)


OUaT TEASER:

“We’ve got trouble,” Cassian announces. Straight ahead, several cars block the road, forcing us to slow.

“It’s them,” I manage to utter past numb lips as Cassian pulls closer.

“Them?” Mom demands. “Hunters?”

I give a hard nod. Hunters. Will’s family.

Glaring headlights pierce the dark and illuminate Cassian’s face. His gaze flicks to the rearview mirror and I can tell he’s contemplating turning back around, running for it in the other direction. But it’s too late for that—one car moves to block our escape and several figures step in front of our car. Cassian slams on the brakes, his hands flexing on the steering wheel, and I know he’s fighting the impulse to mow them down. I strain for a glimpse of Will, sensing him, knowing he’s there, among them somewhere.

Hard, biting voices shout at us to get out of the car. I hold still, my fingers a hot singe on my bare legs, pressing so deeply—as though I were trying to reach my draki buried underneath.

A fist bangs down on our hood.

Cassian’s gaze locks with mine, communicating what I already know. We have to survive. Even if it means doing only what our kind can do. That very thing I already did, that got us in this jam tonight in the first place. And why not? It’s not like we can reveal our secret more.

Nodding, I move, climbing out of the car to face our enemies.

  1. I love the twin part of it - that Tamra isn't a true draki - and of course, the hot guys don't hurt either! But my absolute favorite part is the fact that Jacinda is a firebreather, the first in such a long time.

  2. I really love the history of the Draki. It's a whole new concept that Sophie has created, and it's so amazing. I cannot wait to find out what happens in VANISH.

  5. I love the Firelight series b/c with werewolves, vampires, and fairies getting all the attention, dragons are forgotten :(. I love the love story that seems impossible because Will's world hunts Jacinda's species.

  7. I loved this series because it was different from anything that I have read in awhile. With all the vampires and werewolves out there, the dragons were a nice change to read about. It was awesome :)

  14. I love the way Will thought Jacinda was beautiful even when he was supposed to hate her. I love the romance between them. I think the Draki mythology is also really interesting, but it's the forbidden love story that captured me.

  15. I've read so many books on vampires, werewolves, fallen angels and even a lot of dystopian novels. But Firelight was the first dragon book that caught my eye. I saw the cover and I knew I had to read it. And I was right. I love the Firelight series because of the Draki mythology. It's so different from everything I've read. Also, I love Jacinda and Will. They are just too cute. I can't wait for Vanish's release. I'm miserably counting down the long days. Thanks so much for that teaser. It was great.

  16. I'm a sucker for the bad guy. I know Cassian is the better choice, but I'm for will I love the impossible love story :) thanks Rene'e Sherman dolphinrj@comcast.net

  17. I picked up a copy of Firelight because the cover was so beautiful and the premise was so unlike anything I had ever heard about. Reading the book, it surpassed my expectations enormously. I loved every bit of the Draki mythology I'm a sucker for mythology in general, but because it was about dragons, it was all the more fascinating. The two male characters are both so intense and amazing. It also doesn't hurt that I happen to know a guy exactly like Will (seriously, it's weird) and yet still manage to be attracted to Cassian. Basically I just love the uniqueness of Firelight and cannot wait for Vanish.
    Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway!

  18. Scarlett has a twin! I didn;t even know!!

    Firelight was amazing, but I think Vanish will be doubly amazing. Sophie's writing is so good and I can't wait to read Vanish for myself. All these little teasers are just making me more and more anxious.

  35. I love Firelight because of the awesome dragon story and the amazing characters. Jacinda and Will are my favorite. Jacinda is such a strong female character. She faces many trials, but she still knows what she wants and will do what it takes to survive.

  48. I love this series because dragons aren't the most popular mythical creature, and yet Jordan manages to create amazing books about them, complete with their own magical history.
    And the romance. Gotta love the romance.

  49. It was the first time I read about something about dragons. I love Sophie's take on the dragon myth and the way she incorporated it into YA. her take on it was interesting, with a gripping plot to anchor it to.
