Conspiracy of Dragons

Here Be Dragons, Book 4

By: Louisa Masters

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

There's only one person I trust . . .

It's no secret that I'm hard to handle. People get annoyed by me. Sometimes they're amused, but not for long. It's not easy to deal with a paranoid conspiracy theorist, and I stretch everyone's patience.

Everyone except Wil. He was there at the beginning, when I left my old life behind, and he's stuck with me since. He's been my friend when no one else wanted to. Patiently taught me how to fit in. He's the one person I know I can rely on.

He's the only man I can see myself ever being with. The only man I would want to spend eternity with.

But when my past rears its ugly head and the stuff of my nightmares rises from the dead, the hope of a happy future rapidly fades. I need him more than ever, but I can't risk him. I can't let anyone use him against me.

Torture doesn't have to be physical to hurt. And I'm not going to let myself be hurt again.

Great series

The story is a great ending to this chapter of the dragons’ stories. Joel Leslie does a marvelous job bring the characters to life.

Too angsty for my tastes but still a good story !!

Honestly, the subject matter was too much for me.Stephan's anxiety and paranoia was A LOT. I am fully aware that doesn't mean it wasn't a good book. I finished it only because it was the last in the series so I recognize the wonderful writing and fabulous story telling of the author.

Great Story

This is a great story with intriguing characters. I love this series and the narration by Joel Leslie is great as always.

Good balance of romance and intrigue

This book has more angst, conflict, and intrigue than the others since the Hidden Species series, and I liked it! Heartbreaking at times, but full of love, redemption, and hope. The whole two series of books with many of the same characters comprises Joel Leslie’s master opus, from all that I’ve heard of him so far.

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: The characters are entertaining and the plot was interesting.
What I call an easy listen ... wasn't too complicated so could listen while doing something without losing track of the story.

Enjoyed Steffen and Wil's story. Steffen's paranoia was well written (with no magic "fix") and Wil's grounding understanding and supportive presence was a perfect fit.
As far as a series ending goes, overall it was a little disappointing, there are elements that feel "unfinished".

🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie is a master voice actor and suits the personalities of these characters. He has good cadence, inflections and intonations, he's kept the consistency of characters voices throughout the multiple series so it's easy to distinguish all the characters from each other and he's done a stellar performance bringing this book to life.

Fantastic story- my fav of the series!

I absolutely love this story! The beautiful way the paranoia is portrayed is absolutely perfect. Imagine a secret being held for over 4,000 years. I can’t say any more without spoiling the story. Suffice it to say that this is a fabulous story! Joel Leslie does a great job, but in this story it is really hard to tell Wil and Stephan apart just by listening. Joel is very good at keeping the other characters separate. He continues the fantastic voices of all the characters from before- Alistair, David, Percy, Sam, Dustin, Gideon, Brandt, and all the other characters from CSG and the DEA. So many characters- like wrapping yourself in a big hug from good friends!

I love this story! ❤️

This book is an emotional roller-coaster. My poor sweet baby Steffen. 😭
I love that he has Wil and a found family. He's so sweet. I love how protective he is of everyone he loves. I love that others finally recognize that and appreciate him.
I love this series. I hope there will be more.
I listened to the audiobook and followed along reading the ebook. Joel Leslie is an amazing narrator.

Wonderful!

It was a fabulous story with intriguing characters. I love this series and the narration is always great.

Conspiracy of Dragons

I absofreakinglutely loved it!

Such a perfect ending and some things I did not see coming so I was pleasantly surprised.

Highly recommend but you must start with Demons Do It Better for it all to make sense.

Love the humor

I read the whole series. The emotions and humor are perfectly balanced. My American ears have had problems with books that are read with primary English accents. I’ve had to read them versus listening. The narrator for this series is wonderful. The different accents, tones and personalities made this a very pleasant and extremely fun experience. I am new to Ms. Masters books. I’ll be reading more. I read and listen to a ton of books. The ones I enjoy I reread. This series is one I’ll reread.
