Never judge a dragon
by her human cover...
Sixteen-year-old Kitty Lung has everyone convinced she’s a normal teen—not a secret government operative, not the one charged with protecting the president’s son, and certainly not a were-dragon. The only one she trusts with the truth is her best friend—and secret crush—the über-hot Bulisani Mathe.
Then a junior operative breaks Rule Number One by changing into his dragon form in public—on Kitty’s watch—and suddenly, the world knows. About dragons. About the Draconic Intelligence Command (DIC) Kitty works for. About Kitty herself.
Now the government is hunting down and incarcerating dragons to stop a public panic, and a new shape-shifting enemy has kidnapped the president’s son. Kitty and Bulisani are the last free dragons, wanted by both their allies and their enemies. If they can’t rescue the president’s son and liberate their fellow dragons before getting caught themselves, dragons might never live free again.
I started off liking this, then around 30% I was like maybe not, but then something happened and I fell IN LOVE with this book. That something was more than likely Bulisani Mathe, because he's sweet and adorable and hot, but the high octane plot, dragon fighting action, and spy stuff didn't hurt either.
Dragons Are People, Too is a brilliant blend of thriller and conspiracy, heartfelt romance and driven action. The dragons are really cool, woven into modern life wonderfully, and I loved the organisation around them. The stakes were high enough to make my heart pound, but the characters just really MADE this book. Kitty is brave and kickass and lovely all at once, and Sani is all I ever wanted. Their romance had me all *heart-eyes* and squealing, and I was so happy when they finally became A Thing. These two grabbed my heart in a way that hasn't happened in a very long time.
This book is perfect, everything I needed and more than I expected. The main characters are POC, the cover isn't whitewashed, and there's even a pretty sweet/creepy computer! I'm praying there'll be another book because one just isn't enough!
