Secret identities are hard to keep.

Sora finds this to be doubly true after meeting the struggling Burkhard Clan and the mischievous Ravi. The wind dragon has stolen his breath, and heart, away. Sora suspects he might have found his mate.

But his inability to be truthful with Ravi eats at Sora. When the Jaeggi attack, Sora can’t keep his secrets any longer. Not when Ravi is in the center of the war raging around them.

He has to reveal who he really is. It’s the only way to be with Ravi and give the Burkhards the help they need.

Sora’s secret could tip the scales to save them all.

Ravi!!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 24, 2022

Verified Purchase

Good, funny, sexy, sweet and tons of Ravi humor and love (because he deserves it). Going to have to be the end of the series for me because, I knew it as soon as the character was introduced, the final book is going to focus on an NB character (boo and massive eyeroll). Oh well, it was a fun series while it lasted. I'll just have to make up my own ending (the dragons & mages win).

Wonderfully entertaining

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2022

Blood, book 4 in A.J. Sherwood and Jocelynn Drake’s Scales ‘n’ Spells series, feels like the first story that brings both sides of the mage/dragon union into the tale as equal partners.

Here we get Sora’s full background and family history that folds in with mages as a whole. It’s interesting and a perspective the reader is well familiar with.

Along side the mage pov, is Ravi, the blue Wind Dragon that was adopted during the War by the Burkhard Clan. In the previous stories, the dragons have had or told less about themselves in each book versus the amount of space given their mates.

In Blood , both Sora and Ravi have equal time, narratively speaking. Probably because Ravi’s unusual past makes him a more noteworthy subject for a bigger share of the story. And he does well by it.

This is also a bigger book dramatically in terms of widening the scope of the themes and arc storytelling. Let’s just say the cast gets much bigger almost overnight!

I adore the impulsive Ravi and find the more responsible Sora a treat as well as a great compliment to him. The chemistry works.

I enjoy this series and story for its entertainment value. Plus dragons!

However, the new big plot elements also left a few equally noticeable plot holes. Ones at least large enough I thought several small dragons could fly through.

It’s hard to explain without giving the entire plot and storyline revelations away but the use of the impulsive (and young) Ravi to go chase after, boo hisss, the bad guys?

It’s something that strikes me as merely the authors ploy to raise the drama quotient from point A to point W, not because it makes any logical sense when looking at all the characters and story components the authors just laid down.

That’s frustrating because surely another way could have been found around all that. Sigh. Plot caverns make me crazy.

What this story does right? A gorgeous bonding ceremony that again was lacking in previous novels. It was moving and magical. Lovely.

I found Blood and Ravi and Sora to be a winner. Might be my favorite yet of the series.

I’m recommending it to all those who enjoy dragons and fantasy.

Lost but found

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2021

Ravi is a high energy dragon. Flying is absolutely necessary for everyone else's mental health. But this flight he sees a small plane crashing in the fog. He didn't realize he was rescuing a movie prop until the cameras started flashing. Oops. Now dragons are very much outed. But that's a good thing because a certain group saw the news report and interview. Sora was sent to investigate these dragons for his clan. He didn't realize that dragons how dire things were for the fire and ice clans until he saw for himself. And he certainly didn't know the Jaeggi were still alive.

Spoilers ahead.
I'm glad I hung in there. This book was more in line with the first and the first demon mage one I read and enjoyed. There more bonding, more sharing, more information exchanges. The world building is back, characters are developing and growing, the humor was there again. Trigger warnings for an attempted assault during capture. Ravi handles it with his usual sassy flair and luckily the spell that was supposed to take away his will doesn't work but it should be mentioned for sensitive readers. Evil is thwarted, in a rather humorous, for the setting, fashion. I was happy that Ravi was not just a comedic side character and that we got to see a more serious side to him. Except for the dates. He should never trust the weather person for planning a date.

Love, love Ravi

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was so much fun. Ravi is my favorite character in this series so I was so glad to see him get an HEA. I thought Sora was a perfect match for Ravi and that they evened each other out. There was lots of emotion in this book and I found myself in tears more than once. Ravi's injury from the bomb especially got to me. The bond between Sora and Ravi was almost tangible and, in my opinion, well written. I love these two authors together as well as separate. The other characters, dragons and mages alike, were all engaging and likable and the conflict was exciting. The only problems I had were (1) that the book was a little too long; (2) King Alric's horrific injury from the original war was such an important part of Alric and the series yet the efforts to help him heal were seemly glossed over and mention of his recovery from those efforts was almost nonexistent, especially the surgery before the bonding ceremony which was given maybe one sentence; (3) this was touted at the beginning as a trilogy yet there has already been an additional novella and the Jaeggi still have not been defeated. I'm not at all adverse to Gunter getting his own story, which is apparently the next book, but I'm mighty tired of the nasty Jaeggi and was hoping they would be defeated in this book. So, now I have to wait even more time for a resolution of this saga. Luckily these books are good.

Much better, more interesting, less repetitive, less sappy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was much better for me because it was much more about the story, expanding the world built, and a different viewpoint of the Burkhard clan. The romance was less repetitive, less sappy flowery wording, and more adult due to Sora being a strong, competent, independent character who, for a change, still loved his whole family. The romance was still a major part, with even more sex scenes, but a much lighter tone and not the tropey protector/insecure saved dynamic. There is some good humor, but an editor could help with the errors and logic gaps.

I love Ravi and Sora, though you did have me worried about where they were going to live and then that Kidnapping. Luckily my new favourite Dragon and Mage did get their HEA, but what a ride we got taken on to get there, secrets and Danger, new allies and friends all wrapped up in another fantastic love story 💜

Another magical journey

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 1, 2021

Ravi has always been one of my favourite characters in this series, so I was really excited to find out who his mate would be.
Sora could not be more perfect!
This book also has lots of action and suspense, as well as some Ravi mishaps along the way.
Although you could read as a stand-alone I would recommend reading in series order, as previous characters are really important to overall story.

Ravi’s happy ever after

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

The happy bouncy wind dragon meets his match in the latest instalment. Sora is just want Ravi needs he’s protective of his dragon, sees him for who he truly is and what he means to the clan. Ravi is the baby brother and glue of the fire dragon clan and through mischief and mayhem the book adds more to the series. Second time reading it and even more enjoyable.

Loved this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 16, 2021

I loved Ravi from previous books and he was even more amazing in his own book.

I really liked Sora and he was the perfect counterbalance for Ravi. They mesh together so well. I loved the banter with the other characters, and their closeness. The heat between these two was great.

Overall a great book and I can't wait for Gunther's book
