Night Shift Dragons

Detroit Free Zone, Book 3

De: Rachel Aaron

Narrado por: Emily Woo Zeller

They say family always sticks together, but when you're your dad's only lifeline and the whole world - humans, dragons, and gods - wants you dead, "family bonding" takes on a whole new meaning.

My name is Opal Yong-ae, and I'm in way over my head. I thought getting rid of my dad's bad luck curse would put things back to normal. Instead, I'm stuck playing caretaker to the Great Dragon of Korea. That wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn't such a jerk, or if every dragon on the planet wasn't out to kill him, or if he was my only problem.

Turns out, things can always get worse in the DFZ. When a rival spirit attacks my god/boss with the aim of turning the famously safety-optional city into a literal death arena with Nik as his bloody champion, I'm thrust onto the front lines and way out of my comfort zone. When gods fight, mortals don't usually survive, but I'm not alone this time. Even proud old dragons can learn new tricks, and with everything I love falling to pieces, the father I've always run from might just be the only force in the universe stubborn enough to pull us back together

nail-biting action-packed story.

The last book, Part-Time Gods, ended on a serious cliffhanger. I recommending listening to the series in order beginning with Minimum Wage Magic.

I dove straight into Night of the Dragons as soon as I finished Part-Time Gods. It’s been a while since I binged a series, but man was it worth it.

Opal makes a deal with the city and finds herself in training with the shaman. She and her father, the Great Dragon of Korea, are in hiding within the city. Magic, heartbreaking discoveries, and vegetables hooked me.

Forced together Opal and her father bicker and work out their issues while Opal learns to control her mage abilities and work to clean up the mess she created. Aaron has a wicked imagination and her inner workings of the city were fantastic. She brought the world to life in vivid 3D. Her descriptive words enabled me to visualise everything from dragon fire to spells.

Poor Nik, the lovesick fool. Gads, it’s hard not to fall for the guy even if he got himself in a pickle. Between deadly contracts and saving her Dad, Opal needs to sharpen her game and quickly.

The tale was clever, well paced and had me switching between grinning like a fool and biting my nails. While I think this wrapped up the series and threads wrapped up, I wouldn’t mind visiting this world and its characters again.

Emily Woo Zeller became the voice of these characters, and while the dragon’s voice didn’t make me warm and fuzzy, I have to admit she did it right. As the dragon softened, so did his voice. Clever. I will gladly listen to her again.

excellent conclusion

utterly enjoyable and a nice conclusion to a nice spin-off series. just wish there were more cameos from heartstrikers other than that it's good, so is the narration as always

Good Job!!

This was a great series! I laughed several times, and the narrator was SO good, I am planning on listening to other books she has narrated.

The conclusion to the series was not a disappointment. I will say that there were times I did NOT know how she was going to get out of the situations she was in.... So nice "on the edge of my seat" moments.

I will be checking out more Rachel Aaron books, for sure!

Nice ending

One thing, at least for me, that covers a lot of ills in a questionably written story is a strong and satisfying ending, and this series provided that. I found myself rolling my eyes often as the story proceeded, even to the point I was unsure if I would finish it. But the last half or third of the story picked up steam and while somewhat predictable, the reconciliation between father and daughter was well done.

should have been one book

but then sales wouldnt be so big. predictable story, but i enjoyed it and didnt stop listening.

Innovative and fun series of books!

There were surprises all through this book. Rarely did I see them coming, but they were welcoming and interesting. A great series!

Fantastic series!

Opal and Nick are a wonderful couple and Opal's dragon pappa was inspired. This section of tbe series did not miss a link. It immediately connected without any wobbling.
I loved it.
As writers go Rachel Aaron is a wizard. Her writing flows with wit and plots that are character based. It is not outside forces that war within the story. Instead the characters are each strong and must sort through relationship issues and mental dilemmas that fuel the strife.
Wonderously rich grounds to reap delightful stories from.

Great story

I found the story addicting from start to finish and could not stop listening. A great end to this story.

Another great title

I love the DFZ and basically everything about this world. It was nice to get a little more insight into Jung, and I'm glad the writer didn't hold back on his character flaws.

CW: This novel involves attempting to reconcile with abusive family members, and those with personal experience on the subject may find that unpleasant.

If you liked the first two, you'll love this one.

If you liked the first two, you'll love this one. I enjoyed the first two books in this series and consider them 5 star books. Night Shift Dragons had a lot of story to tell and did a fantastic job. Without getting into spoilers, Night Shift Dragon finishes some plot lines from Part Time Gods in an exciting and rewarding way.
