Nice Dragons Finish Last: Heartstrikers, Book 1 Audio Book Summary:
The Heartsriker Clan is a vicious and powerful lot. Their reputation has been one centered on both fear and respect and every member of this dragon clan are expected to proudly represent their banner and fly proudly and strike fear into the hearts of others, with one exception… Julius is a member of the Heartstriker clan but unlike his kin he is much smaller and timid. He would rather stay behind the scenes and stay out of trouble which is a smart way to survive considering every other dragon he meets is way larger than him.
However, Bethesda the Heartstriker, Julius’ mother has had enough of his son’s inaction to grab what is rightfully his and banishes him into an unknown and dangerous world: DFZ. DFZ is a bustling metropolis ruled by humans and is created atop the ruins of Old Detroit. Julius finds himself sealed into a human body in a world where dragons are feared and hunted by powerful Mages and spirits. Julius is given one month to prove that he is worthy of the Heartstriker Clan or be left behind in his weak human form forever. Julius knows that he can’t convince his mother alone and so his only hope is to put everything in the belief that humans might be more trustworthy than dragons.

Reactions:
“What I love most about this story is that It’s a twist on the whole “tortured soul” hero theme. Instead of fighting his internal desire to be bad and succeeding by defeating those urges and choosing what is good and right, Julius is fighting *external* pressure, when all he actually wants is to allow his good nature to rule his decisions.” – Crystal Bryant

“I listened to the audio and it was epic. I wasn’t just listening to it, I was in the story! It really brought the story to life and the narrator was fantastic. I loved how he did Bob!! He did a lot of different voices and did them so well. The book is brilliant but the audio was the icing on the cake. It’s one I know I will listen to again and again and again!!” – Natalie @ Book Lovers Life

“This was a very imaginative story. I love the fact that dragons are involved. The book mixes adventure, with a power struggle. The conflict is very well crafted. All major characters are devious, scary and sexy as hell. So it is definitely worth reading.” – BookCraze

“I had trouble warming to the heroine though. The story had action and thrills! The action interludes had a bit too much blood for my taste.” – Singular
