The Bond That Burns (Standard Edition): A Novel – A Paranormal Academy Romance of Dragon Riders and Vampires (Bloodwing Academy, 2)
At Bloodwing Academy, blood is currency, but a dragon's legacy is priceless--and as dangerous as fire.
I thought surviving my first year in Bloodwing's deadly halls would be enough. I was wrong.
I accidentally woke a dragon--a creature of myth, of death, of fire.
Now every highblood house wants control over me and the dragon's legacy I carry. But here's the truth: I have no control. I'm bluffing my way through every encounter, trying to keep everyone from realizing that I'm not the one pulling the dragon's strings.
And then there's Blake Drakharrow. I thought he was on my side, that I might even be able to trust him. But he betrayed me. Now I'm his only blood source. How messed up is that? In a place like Bloodwing, where power and survival are everything, this bond may well be the death of us both. Unless I can find a way to end it.
In this world of vampires, dragons, and lies, there are no happy endings. Just legends--and the darkness it takes to make them.

This series does not disappoint...while I enjoyed the first installment due to its propulsive and addictive page-turning action, the second installment provided more "clues" re the lore the lies and the legacies the vampiric dynasties have fabricated and are seeking to protect...Medra's fondness for Blake is deepening and the consumption of her blood by him has led to some revelatory transfiguration...will his dragon form bring them closer or further apart...?
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING SISTER!!
Well at first we started slow, we started real slow (Book 1) And you know what, that’s alright. Because some times in life you’re gonna start slow. We’re gonna start slow but we’re always, ALWAYS gonna finish fast. They kindof had me in the first half im not gonna lie. They had me. I wasn’t defeated (still decided to read this book) but they had me. But it took guts and attitude. THATS ALL IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
OKAY SO LBR: obsessed. I rated the first book a 3 and this one was easily a 4. There was character development. There were almost tears. THERE WAS A LOT OF GOOPING AND GAGGING. i enjoyed the plot twists. I was invested asf. I can’t say there was a moment i didn’t want to read this book.
AND THE ENDING?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!😭
don’t talk to me. i had a full crash out. and I will remember this ending for a long periodololically time.
why do i have to wait for march for book 3???
SN: i also was today years old when i learned there was a prequel series😭 i WILL be reading. well maybe.
