The Opal Dragon
This is a brilliant thriller tale that will grab you immediately and will not let you go to the very end. I enjoyed each and every element that was brought in and the fact that it kept me guessing and wanting to continue reading it. If you are into adventure, revenge, true love, and twists--this is the book for you and you will not be disappointed! I could sympathize with Ali and his strive for a better life.....despite the consequences for this search. ` Review by Cayce Hrivnak
