    About this ebook

    In C.J. Hill's action-packed sequel to Slayers, the group of teens known as Slayers have been betrayed—but they won't give up without a fight.

    Tori's got a problem. She thought she'd have one more summer to train as a dragon Slayer, but time has run out. When Tori hears the horrifying sound of dragon eggs hatching, she knows the Slayers are in trouble. In less than a year, the dragons will be fully grown and completely lethal. The Slayers are well-prepared, but their group is still not complete, and Tori is determined to track down Ryker—the mysterious missing Slayer.

    What Tori doesn't bargain for, however, is the surprising truth about her powers. She isn't just a Slayer, she's part Dragon Lord, too. How can Tori fight to save her friends when half of her is programmed to protect dragons? And with a possible traitor in their midst, the Slayers will be divided in more ways than they ever imagined.

      After two months at dragon camp, Tori still doesn't feel ready to fight dragons. She hopes it will be years before the dragon eggs hatch. But that all changes when she hears screeching, baby dragon sounds in her mind.Dirk has been pulled in two different directions for years by his loyalty to his family and his friends. As Overdrake's son, he has grown up with the dragons and he believes it is his father's right to use the dragons to conquer and rule the U.S. As a spy sent to dragon camp, he befriended the Slayers as they practiced their dragon slaying techniques. Whichever side wins, Dirk will still lose.When Tori realizes that Dirk is a spy, what will the Slayers do with the traitor in their midst? Will Dirk choose to protect his father and the dragons or his friends?

      An good sequel, Friends and Traitors amps up the action and tension a few more notches than what we previously read in the first book Slayers. Ryker is finally present and low and behold there is another character that comes into the mix that I wouldn't have suspected would be a player at all. Oddly enough I actually liked how the triangle ended up playing out between Tori, Dirk and Jesse. This was pretty much the sort of thing I could see happening between actual teenagers. Not those exact details and circumstances mind you - but the typical teenage actions and reactions.

      Ultimately though, while I thought the book was good it fell short for me in too many areas. My major concern about Friends and Traitors is it felt like one big rinse, repeat of book one. Essentially the same key things happen. I would hate to say them here and be spoilerish but ahhh so much of my middle of the road feelings are based on them. Suffice to say I don't feel like there are any significant steps forward made. This book ends much like the second one does except for the addition of a new characters. The character interactions essentially remained the same, the tensions increased but in a way, remained the same, the climax at the end...essentially the same. You catching my drift here? So I hope I was able to get my point across. If you loved the first book I have no doubt you would love this one. I just simply expecting more forward momentum than what I was given.

      Cover - 3 stars - Something about those models just doesn't do it for me
      Story - 3 to a 3.5 stars - Good but not Great

      This sequel to SLAYERS is even more action-packed than the first book and it is packed with emotions too. Tori has spent the summer training to be a dragon slayer and falling in love with Jesse. Now, the end of camp has come and Jesse wants to end the relationship too. Tori is heartbroken and turns to her counterpart Dirk for comforting. She sees Dirk as a friend but Dirk is in love with her too and wants a different relationship. Since Dirk and Jesse have been best friends for years this damages their friendship.But the Slayers have worse problems than boy-girl problems. The dragons they are training to fight have hatched and will be ready to fight them sooner than they had hoped. Even worse, they have a traitor in their midst who is passing on vital information to the Dragon Lord who wants to eliminate the Slayers who stand in the way of his world domination.The Slayers are continuing to look for Ryder who was spirited away to hiding by his parents when they learned he was a Slayer. They are determined to keep their child safe and remain neutral in the coming fight. When the Dragon Lord locates them, they learn how unrealistic that expectation is. Ryder has been training in secret and is ready to join the rest of the Slayers.I liked the way the characters grew in this story. I liked that they had to wrestle with loyalties and make tough decisions. I especially liked that Tori had to deal with the fact that she was part Dragon Lord which made her sympathetic to the dragons.The end of the book clearly states THE END but I hope there is at least one more book. I want to know if our young heroes can defeat the Dragon Lord and save our American way of life. Fans of action, dragons, and love triangles will enjoy this story.

      This is the sequel to Slayers and it has been a long wait for this book (Slayers released in 2011). It was an excellent follow-up to that story. There is a lot of action, some teen drama, and some awesome twists and turns.Dragon Camp is wrapping up for the summer. All the campers are off to lead their normal teenage lives, that is until Tori hears the dragon eggs hatch. Then Dirk convinces her it is just a trick being played by Overdrake to make her think they hatched. Tori is unsure what to think, but if the eggs are hatched the Slayers have less than a year to train together to defeat them. This makes Tori determined to find the final member of their group, Ryker Davis. Little do they know that Ryker has been training in secret on his own.I really enjoyed Slayers when it was released in 2011. This book did a great job of continuing the storyline about a bunch of teenagers who find out they have Dragon slaying powers and have to save the world from the evil Overdrake.Tori has gotten a lot better about using her abilities but she still doesn’t want to be a team captain, she doesn’t feel like she is ready for it yet. Her and Jesse still have a relationship going on, but Jesse is unwilling to bend the rules and pretty much puts things on hold between them. There is a love triangle going on between Tori, Dirk, and Jesse which started in the first book. Dirk is basically willing to stay in contact with Tori and is her pair as far as Slayer abilities go. So Tori and Dirk get a lot closer in this book. Jesse is unwilling to break the rule about Slayers not contacting each other outside of Dragon Camp, so he is out of a large portion of the story. The romance never takes over the story but is in the background and dealt with in a realistic way.The story switches mainly between Tori and Dirk’s viewpoints. We get to learn a lot more about Dirk and his family in this book, it makes him a much more sympathetic character to read about. I enjoyed hearing from both points of view.There are a couple of really massive and fantastic action scenes in this book between the Slayers and Overdrake’s men. The book ends with another fantastic fight between the Slayers and a dragon (just like the first book did).There also a couple big twists in this book, one of which is disclosed in the backcopy...which is that Tori figures out she is not a Slayer at all but a Dragon Lord. This is something Dirk has suspected for some time.This book is very aptly named. By the end Tori and her fellow Slayers have been betrayed by one of their own and are struggling to figure out who the traitors are and who are their friends.I felt like the story didn’t make a ton of progress and I also felt like it was very similar to the story we read in the first book. However I really do enjoy the Slayers and their unique powers. I also love the battles between the Slayers and the Dragons.Overall this was a great continuation of the series. I think if you liked the first book in the series you will enjoy this one too. The story is a unique blend of dragon fighting, superhero-like powers, and politics. It’s very different from a lot of other YA paranormal books out there. Recommended if you like paranormal YA especially with dragons!
