See all formats and editions

The dragon is learning...
Chief Zeke Phoenix of the Paranormal Police Department is rebuilding the precinct and taking over Infernal City, but he knows war is just around the corner.

Masters was put on his heels, but he's no fool and he's got plenty of contacts. Francis from The Morgue, for one. In other words, Masters has an army of zombies at his fingertips. These aren't the slow type of zombies, either. They're the kind that rip and shred. Worse, they're coming after Hilda and the Highland Valkyries.

After that, the PPD precinct will be under siege again. There's also a secret that holds the potential to split the thin layer of stability in the Badlands. As if that wasn't bad enough, Zeke is wrestling to control the dragon he's recently unleashed.

Power. Persuasion. Pain.

The Badlands just became an even darker place...

Don't mess with a dragon

Zeke is all about honor and doing the right thing. But he's learning the hard way that sometimes you have to do the wrong thing in order to make the right things work out.

Zeke Phoenix is a dragon who was raised by valkyries and is now the chief of the Badlands PPD.

His crew is deranged, suicidal, and darn good at their jobs.

The Badlands isn't what you might consider a vacation destination. It's hot, dangerous, and full of criminal activity. It doesn't help that the primary power points consist of dragons, hellions, and the denizens of Hell.

Zeke Phoenix is the new chief of the Badlands PPD, though, and he takes that job seriously.

Too bad the people of the Badlands don't care.

Even his own team is betting on how long he'll survive before the next chief is sworn in.

So much fun!

I had so much fun reading this book! This is the fourth in the series, and they just keep getting better - the plot continues to thicken, and the characters keep on developing. Book three had some interesting surprises, and this book adds more. Great action and hilarious dialog added to my enjoyment. It’s written from multiple viewpoints, which some might find confusing, but I loved it. The POV character is identified at the start of each chapter, and the changing POV both made it easy to follow the multiple plot threads and kept me feeling I was in the action instead of being narrated to.

I’d recommend reading the earlier books before this one. While you probably could enjoy this book standalone, you’d miss a lot, for example seeing how very much Zeke has changed as he learns about his background and comes into his heritage. I’m already impatient for the next book!

Dragon’s Mire is book four of a five-book series on the Paranormal Police Department of Infernal City. Chief Zeke Phoenix is learning the truth about his inner dragon and is having trouble controlling his dragon desire to assume the throne as King of the Dragons where he will ultimately take over the city and possibly the world. The varied members of his precinct are working to stop that from happening as well as trying to keep Zeke alive as he prepares to battle the would-be king, Masters.

The book is exciting, with well-developed characters, surprising alliances, and plenty of action and humor. This series is worth reading and rereading. I can’t wait to read Book 5 to see how it all ends.

If you like slightly racy and snarky story telling you will like these books. This, the fourth installment of the Badlands PPD is a great followup to book three. You learn a lot more about Chief Zeke and what really is happening with he and Masters. A couple of really good twists and reveals make this a great story.

What a high speed ride! I wonder was Rose driving the typewriter? Yeah I'm that old get over it. Like the rest of the series this was chock full of action adventure and snark. Enemies were put down, allies made and Master's is on the run. Then there's the evil in Zeke's head looking for a way out. Bring on the next book!

Dragons. Hilarious action packed urban fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020

Enjoyed immensely. Zeke is a great character and is wrestling with some inner “dragons”. The level of character growth and the fact that we get insight into side characters is great. There’s action, hilarity and even some, dare I say, possible romance. Dragons, trolls, Valkyrie, hellions, pixies and many more interesting creatures. Great addition to the Badlands PPD series.

Find out some secrets like why Zeke has a brother? Who is Fitzroy really? How fast can Rose drive ? Are slugs smart ? Is Masters evil ?
What is pixie culture like? The snark is steady and things keep exploding, the action is non stop. I thought it was a blast! Yes, I do recommend it, very entertaining, and so much fun.

How does it feel to be Royalty

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020

This is the fourth entry into Zeke, or Zekie as he called by his family, who are a valkyrie mother and a bragon brother. We find out more about his background and just what kind of royalty he is. Which he doesn't want to be, for very good reason.

We get to see the viewpoint of a lot of the other characters in this book, which helps to understand more and more about their world. With just enough twist and turns to keep you going, like finding out who was the true person to run the morgue, Rose's dating preference, and Silks decisions of what he wants to do with his new pixie life, and even Sal has a secret or two about his past jobs.

All in all a great book with just enough of a cliffhanger or not, depending on how you look at it.

Dragons and bragons and pixies and Rose, reanimators, explosions, maybe a flower shop,and let's not forget shred-everything-with-glee mode. Another wonderful addition to the BPPD series, full of phrasing, snark and laughter. Just what I needed to read!

Another great PPD series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

This 4th book about Zeke Phoenix, a dragon who was brought up by Valkyries, continues the Badlands Paranormal Police Department series which started with Dragon's Torment. The great storyline is there from the start and continues the ramping up from book 3 (Dragon's Impasse) and the team are all the better for being fun, sarcastic and neither perfect nor pc even when the odds aren't in their favour. There is a great mixture of humour, action and storyline in this next book of another addictive series which kept me wanting to read more even though I knew I had to get up early for work in the morning?! I can’t wait for more!

Yet another superb read!!

Another cracker from this talented duo! There's been a good few twists and turns, and the action keeps on coming, and we've got to see more of Zekes dragon side. Has many similarities with Ian Dex, a PPD fighting practically half the city as well as his inner turmoil of who he is.

Loving the series, well worth reading and now onto book 5!! 😁

Another wonderful book in the series and even better than the last as Zeke stands up to be counted. If this was an A Team episode i would say its the stage when the plan comes together and we see what has finally been going on all this time and that Zeke comes into his own and why a dragon is best left undisturbed.

The book in the thrilling and exciting zeke phoenix paranormal police department. I don't know if it's possible but this series gets better and better. Filled with humour that actually gave me a sore stomach laughing. The plot is face paced, the innuendo and snark is hilarious and the characters are well written and hysterical.
