Discovering The Spirit (Dragon Within #1) Kindle Edition

Have you ever noticed how life can shift all of sudden? You’re going along thinking everything is great and then WHAM, you get hit by a bus. Well, maybe not a literal bus, but you get what I mean, right? I’m talking about that moment in time when everything changes and life as you know it comes to a crashing halt.

My name is Abigail Freeman and for me, that moment came on my sixteenth birthday. It wasn't anything so dramatic as getting hit by a bus. In fact, it was so subtle it didn't even seem like anything at the time. A cool breeze where there shouldn't have been one. A stranger in the park. And then everything I thought I knew was turned inside out. What do you do, when you find out you aren't who you thought you were?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015

“Dragon Within” by Kyra Dune is a fun Young Adult story. What Abigail Freeman thought would be an ordinary sixteenth birthday party was instead the beginning of a new life, wrought with danger. First, she’s being followed by the mysterious, yet handsome Zack, who tells her she’s a dragon. Then, she’s kidnapped by Derek who says he’s her long lost half-brother. Could it get any worse? Yep, she can’t go back home.
This story is a real page turner which follows Abby and her friends - Brandy, Trudy, Curtis, Kyle, and Steve - through a neat teenage adventure. As the first book in a planned trilogy, I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced novella for teens - great start to a series
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015
I received a copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review and I’m glad I accepted. It’s a nice fast-paced series introduction aimed at a teen audience. I found it well-written with a clear, distinct narration style. The characters are diverse and are developing well (remember; this book is an introduction). The only characters I felt were weak are the “Jerk-Jock and His Comedic Side-Kick” duo. I don’t know if they’ll make another appearance in the other books of this series to be better developed, but they didn’t add anything to this one.

Overall, I thought it was a great start to the story Ms. Dune will be unfolding in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars That's not to say I didn't enjoy the read
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015
I purchased this ebook at a launch I just stumbled upon one day; a freebie came with it. While it is described as book one I found it more to be a long introduction. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the read. Dragon Within is written in typical teenage language, complete with feelings and reactions that fit the situation. It moved along nicely, without hiccups, and was an easy read. As to the story itself ... it has an interesting twist with the development of the characters and the story-line. I thought it was an ideal YA read if one likes fantasy. Even though the indicator gives it three stars I really would give it another half.

Kyra Dune does not disappoint. This is a fun YA story set in the modern age but with fantasy elements. The dragons are not typical fantasy dragons, so don't go in expecting them and you'll enjoy the story more. Chapter 1 starts slow, but things pick up fast. This is only the beginning of the story, and I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Within Review
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2015
I received Dragon Within as a free ARC Copy in exchange for an honest review.

The story was good. This is geared towards the young adult readers. The 16 yr old girl we meet in the book, Abby seems like a normal girl, who is just turning 16. She seems to have a normal life, family & friends around her. She sees someone who seems to be following her. Is this someone she can trust? Or someone who might be after her for something?? She does find out she's not 'normal' from the guy whose been watching her. But can she believe what he says? Can she trust him??

Review of The Dragon Within by Kyra Dune.

This is a fun book about elemental control. It has some of the same themes as the Elemental Mysteries series, but with a much different focus and aimed at a younger audience. I look forward to reading book 2 and seeing what is in store for Abby and her friends in the next installment!

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for the YA reader
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015
Very well written, developing plot, fast paced, perfect for the YA reader. Young Abby's life as she knows it suddenly changes, and everything she thought was true was no,t and what she thought wasn't true about life becomes true. She must become a believer in herself and those around her, and decide who is really on her side. An enjoyable read with plenty of action and mystery. It will be interesting to see Abby grow into who and what she truly is.
