Really great second story in the series! Jennifer is figuring out what it is to be a half were-dragon and a beaststalker, she is training with her mom and learning new skills. Things seem to be finally getting back to "normal", until a friend of her father's dies mysteriously...
Jennifer finds that her parents are keeping more secrets, one of which is that her Dad was married before and had a child, and now it seems that the child is out to kill her family!
I love all the interesting characters,...more

This one was more fun to start reading, since I knew the story of Jennifer and her family already. There were sad parts to this book, and some characters that were being really wishy-washy and getting on my nerves, too. I'm glad that Jennifer finally got to meet the "real" Catherine, but still think she needs to be wary of Skip. The whole Evangelos thing was surprising, but at least I was partly right on who he was. The whole fight scene got to be a bit tiresome, though.

Jennifer ternyata punya sodara tiri yang berusaha memusnahkan keluarganya karena dendam merasa diabaikan oleh ayahnya [yang juga ayahnya Jennifer:] dan ibunya [yang juga ibunya Seth:].
Masalahnya wujud Angelos sebagai manusia ga jelas, jadi memburunya pun susah.
Identitas Jennifer sebagai separuh beaststalker membuatnya harus berlatih kemampuan sebagai beaststalker, yang ga semudah membiasakan diri sebagai naga haha.
Jennifer juga mengetahui asal usul kota Winoka, kenapa disana banyak banget kelua...more

It's not always easy to find out that you are half-beaststalker, half-weredragon, especially when life is just beginning to get better. Jennifer Scales knows exactly how it feels. If only her parents would have told her sooner, it may have been easier. For one thing, though, her strength is perfect for playing soccer.

I love how she can write characters that are so epic but so human at the same time. This series lives up every bit to the Betsy series. Despite all the supernatural storyline, you feel like you're getting to know a real person with a real life throughout the book.
This book is okay. I am still having a hard time getting into them. I think there is too much science fiction in these books and not enough humor to really interest me. But I have the next book in the series to read, and I'm going to dive into it now.

This was the second in the series and was good again. I didn't figure out who Evangelos was and had no idea it would play out like that. I'm not sure how many more of these are?
This series continues to be good. It's a good balance of action, plot and character development. It's also a good balance of comedy and drama. I like my dramas not to be total downers.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Davidson turns up the heat on this one.
This was much better than the first book. I like that she's working with the relationships Jennifer has with her friends and family. And developing the politics of the dragons and beaststalkers...which no doubt Jennifer will totally screw with as the series continues.
A very fun young-adult-were-dragon coming of age story.
I love this series. A teen book with adult appeal.
A major improvement over the first book.

I really liked this book. Just like the first book, it had a surprise twist. I love when a book surprised you.
sappy
Series is okay, but not my favorite. I have all the books so I'll probably read them but we'll see. :) I like some of her other series better.
Better than the first, but Jennifer is still a whinny brat who, yes, there are things she hasn't been told, some because she does not need to know them at this point and others because she doesn't give anybody a chance to tell her. She is hot-headed, stubborn, and whinny. I am still trying to have sympathy for her, but it is hard.
Still too many descriptions of creepy crawlies!

This book was more complicated, and not in a good way. Jennifer finds out that she has a half-brother floating around in another dimensio, and he is killing people close to the family.
Then there are the relationships Jennifer has with Skip and other kids at school. Rocky would be a good word to describe those.
I liked the first one much better, but this was a nice follow-up.

This has a more complex plot than the 1st book. We have Jennifer's half brother out for revenge and some complex relationships between weredragan, werarachnid and beaststalker. There were also some relationship problems between Jennifer and her friends.
I did not enjoy Jennifer the self-focused whiner and her relationships with her friends.

Jennifer is back with her family and adapting to her life as a weredragon and beastalker. But a new enemy is killing those near her father and her world is about to be shaken up again. I really enjoyed this book. Jennifer is a strong protag and the created world is fascinating with its prejudices that need to be bridged.
Probably should be more like 3.5 stars. I liked it better than the first one. I thought I had it all figured out and was going to be very disappointed if I did - and thankfully, I was wrong! It's no fun when a book is obvious. I'm glad this one wasn't.
i like it!:)
the story sounds super stupid,. but its good.

couldn't get into it, bit disappointed so just took it back to the library. Maybe I'll give it another go some time
I liked this one even better than the first - relationships are all mixed up as Jennifer and her family and friends all try to figure out who is who and who thinks what about the others. There were a lot of intense moments and some sad ones.
Jennifer is getting better as a main character overall. I like that the story line is increasing in scope and that more characters are being added that you know will be major contributors as the series continues.
I read this one right after the first in the series. It explains many things and I really enjoyed it. You do have to get past the whole turning into a dragon thing. Once you are there it is a fun ride.

ANYONE! This series is even better than Harry Potter, I dare to say!
I read the first book in this series and it was SOOOOOOOOOOO good! This one is also equally good! But, it's really really sad in one part! YOU HAVE TO READ THIS SERIES! I love this book!
