I wasn't really sure what to make of The Dragonfly Prophecy when it first landed on my doorstep as I had never heard of this novel before, nor did I have any preconceptions. When I first saw it, I thought this book was all about dragonflies. It is not. Whether or not this is a good thing or bad thing is for you to decide, but, I repeat, The Dragonfly Prophecy is not about dragonflies. It is; however, about 17 year old Lexi Blane who seems to be living the perfect life. She has a boyfriend who ad...more

Jacquelyn Castle hit it out of the park with her debut novel. The Dragonfly Prophecy is a unique YA story of teenager Lexi Blane caught in a love triangle with William and Chace. One is from this universe and the other is from an alternate universe. Little does Lexi know she is not who she thinks she is and her choices could impact the world as she knows it..forever.

I'm going to be honest. There is absolutely no way for me to review this book if I don't give you a little bit of spoilers. Apologies in advance guys! I'll keep them a minimum, and make sure to leave plenty for you to uncover when you dive into this book.
The Dragonfly Prophecy is an interesting book hybrid. On the one hand, it's a contemporary story about Lexis' life and the struggles that she faces as a teen. On the other hand, Lexi isn't your normal teenager at all. She has powers. Interesting...more

Lexi is highly intelligent, has loving, caring parents who (mostly) don’t smother her, and she is dating handsome, rich, British William who is taking Lexi and her parents on a surprise getaway to a tropical island. Well, Lexi’s life is perfect apart from her frequent – and worsening – fainting spells, her horrendous dreams of dragonflies, and now she...more

I really enjoyed the concept of this book, but I have to admit I was very confused in the beginning, so much that I had to go back and read a few pages just to make sure I had it all right. This book is caught in between reality and the comatose dream like state. I think the reason I was so confused is that it was hard to understand the first 20 or so pages and to understand what was going on. After those pages I really got into this story and was a bit sad when it ended.
The plot in this book i...more
(2.5 stars) Not too bad. The concept was great but I did not enjoy the writing as much. Full review soon!

There were many times in the novel where I enjoyed some parts, and many times where I was a little confused.
The beginning was definitely confusing. As I mentioned in my 100 Pages post, I wasn’t sure what was going on until maybe 40 pages into the book. I also had to re-read a few pages a couple times to really grasp what was happening.

This wasn't too bad! There was a lot of deus ex machina, or at least I felt that there was, and for a secret society, EVERYBODY seemed to know that it existed, but beyond that, I actually enjoyed it! It was different from the other paranormal romances I've read recently.
I liked this book up until the last chapter. Even for a fantasy, things seemed to fall into place too easily and quickly.
I should preface this by saying I had sworn off fiction. With that being said, for a debut novel, i really enjoyed the story and the characters mor than I expected.
