Dragon Consultant (Supernatural Consultant #1)

Dragon Consultant is the introductory novella in a fantasy M/M series by Mell Eight. Originally published in 2015, this reformat/re-release was published 20th April 2020 by NineStar Press, it's not quite 100 pages and is available in ebook format.

This is a backstory/prequel for the series with world building and magic system featuring a demigod paranormal investigator and a vulnerable bronze dragon dad (with kits). It's sweet and lightly humorous and full of romance. It's not erotica, there's no on-screen physical descriptions apart from a few passionate kisses and a lot of soulful longing.

It's very light, the characters are anthropomorphic fantasy creatures (demigod investigator Dane has a banshee called Becky as an office manager), there are a whole bunch of young dragons foster dad Mercury has adopted/rescued from evil humans experimenting on them, add magic and stir. There is a light mystery plot element, to find the nefarious secret government science lab experimenting on the elemental air dragons, rescue them, take out the bad guys, and live happily ever after.

Very clean content, a few "damn"s and nothing worse. There are some potential triggers, kidnapping, experimentation on minor (dragons), magical murder, etc.

The author writes clearly, readably, and well. It's above average for the genre (paranormal romance).

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
