First Pages: Firelight by Sophie Jordan

Alrighty, as I said in my little update post on Teasers, I intend to share with you some of the first pages of the books I will be reviewing at some point (probably), but not necessarily soon (ie. the hugemongous ALA haul).  I'm starting with Firelight, which is one I was pretty excited about getting.  There is a flub; I've been having trouble with my webcam, so I had to record this on my camera, and didn't want to rerecord it, so I'm afraid you're just going to have to deal with the flub.  Also, please note this is an ARC, so this first page may not be the same as the final first page.  Um, also...*
(*Also, holy boob-shot, Batman!  Sorry about that.  But at least it gets covered with a book fairly quickly...)

Firelight (Draki, #1)

by Sophie Jordan 

September 7th 2010 by Harper Teen 

336 pages

With her rare ability to breathe fire, Jacinda is special even among the draki—the descendants of dragons who can shift between human and dragon forms. But when Jacinda’s rebelliousness leads her family to flee into the human world, she struggles to adapt, even as her draki spirit fades. The one thing that revives it is Will, whose family hunts her kind. Jacinda can’t resist getting closer to him, even though she knows she’s risking not only her life but the draki’s most closely guarded secret.
