About the book:
An impossible romance.
Bitter rivalries.
Deadly choices.
To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?

My thoughts:
Vanish was a book I was beyond excited to see in my library bag. Since reading Firelight I had been waiting patiently (sorta) for Vanish because I just had to know if Will and Jacinda found each other again. I needed to know what happened next.
I liked the change of setting. It made Jacinda seem more like a real dragon because she could fly and be with her kind without hiding who she was. I really enjoyed getting to know all of the Pride members, specifically Cassian. He was a character I wanted to see more of, even if he was sort of the bad guy. Or one of them. But he really turned out to be a friend to Jacinda when she needed one the most.
Tamra is a character I have mixed feelings about. Throughout Firelight I disliked her and pitied her. Now in Vanish I've begun to see her as a stronger character and grew to like her some. I enjoyed seeing her grow into a strong and important character. Jacinda however, I grew to dislike a bit more. She was being really stupid and began acting weak and pathetic. The love triangle angle got old quick. She knows she loves Will, she knows Tamra loves Cassian, so why can't she just leave well enough alone? Ugh!
The plot, aside from the love triangle, was pretty great. The twists and turns kept me guessing, and many of them I had no idea were coming. Exactly the way I like my books to be.
I really enjoyed Firelight, so my expectations were set high with Vanish. Sadly they weren't completely met. Plot wise yes, character wise no. The one character that didn't disappoint in any way was Will.
