NoseDive: A Book Review

By Torri Heat (@torriheat on instagram)

Blurb:

Cam’s a dragon shifter with a secret. He prefers his own company to that of his pack’s, until one day he stumbles across a saucy Supe named Charlie. She’s hiking alone, and looks as lost as he feels – perhaps they could keep each other company.

Except Charlie’s got secrets of her own, and she’s not ready to share them with some too-handsome-to-be-real, shifty shifter. Cam might be good for a laugh, maybe a hot one-night stand… if she can let her guard down long enough to enjoy herself.

But the next day, right when Charlie’s about to cut him loose, their worlds collide in a twist of fate, forcing them to work together to save themselves – and each other. To do so, they’ll have to expose the parts they’ve kept hidden for far too long… or risk losing everything to the darkness surrounding them.

Nosedive is a standalone, fast burn paranormal romance.


Let’s talk tropes for a second….

-One Bed

-Forced Proximity

-Disrespect her and die energy

-intense spice

Genre: Dark Paranormal romance book

Intended Audience: This book was intended for Mature readers 18 years or older. Also please be sure to check all trigger warnings before delving into a dark book. I may not have trigger warnings but whoever is reading might.

Possible spoilers below: I really do my best I promise to keep them at a minimum


Writing Style

I love Torri Heat’s writing style, the way her plot is character driven. One trying to run off every chance she gets. I love the dragon shifters, and I definitely need to start reading more books about dragons. The spice was outstanding and the way that she depicted the characters and their individuality realistic.

The story is told in dual perspective switching between Charlie (FMC), and Cam (MMC) depending on the chapter.

Character information

FMC: Charlie a hard headed, sassy gorgeous and brave girl, is running from something. What she doesn’t realize is what she is running toward.

MMC: Cam, A dragon shifter who is just as stubborn was hiking and guess who he happens to come across… He’s sweet, and charming, and dark. Just like his secrets. Also great in bed.


My Opinions

I love shifters and dragons you put them together and its a heck yes for me. I love Charlie because of her stubborn independence, and attitude.

I hated Finn, (but that’s a good thing)

My favorite side character was Grace, big mama dragon vibes.

This story was such an adventure from start to finish. I wasn’t sure at first where it was headed I had speculations, but I was wrong. This book checked all of my trope boxes and then some.

This is definitely a book I am going to be keeping on my shelf, and although I’m working on my tbr I really hope I find a chance to re-read it.

I would definitely recommend this book, its fast paced but the romance and the spice are killer, and its a rather quick read. If you enjoy men with an accent who give disrespect her and die vibes, with a stubborn powerful FMC who doesn’t need a man, then this is one for you!
