About the Book
To save everyone she loves from imminent death, kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko gave up the final piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. Now she and her ragtag band of companions must make one desperate final effort to stop the Master of Demons from using the scroll to call the Great Kami Dragon and make the wish that will plunge the empire into chaos.
Shadow clan assassin Kage Tatsumi has regained control of his body and agreed to a true deal with the devil—the demon inside him, Hakaimono. They will share his body and work with Yumeko to stop a madman, and to separate Hakaimono from Tatsumi and the cursed sword that trapped the demon for nearly a millennium.
But even with their combined skills and powers, this unlikely team of heroes knows the forces of evil may be impossible to overcome. And there is another player in the battle for the scroll, a player who has been watching, waiting for the right moment to pull strings that no one even realized existed…until now.

Night Of The Dragon by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Yumeko had to give up the scroll in order to save everyone she loves. Now her and her companions must stop the Master of Demons from using the scroll. If he does and releases the Great Kami Dragon then everyone will die and the empire will be in chaos.
Kage Tatsumi is an assassin but has the demon inside him, Hakaimono. They will share his body and work with Yumeko to stop a madman, and to separate Hakaimono from Tatsumi and the cursed sword that trapped the demon for nearly a millennium.
As we read on though there is another evil force watching them and waiting.
I loved the main characters and all of Yumeko's companions. Kage and Hakaimono sharing the same body but now working together was enjoyable to read. Learning the new evil was making it intense and will Yumeko and Kage stop this person before it is to late.
The ending was a bit sad and I was a little surprised how the author dealt with the companions.
I recieved this from NetGalley and Harper Collins for review

About the author
Julie Kagawa, the New York Times bestselling
author of the Iron Fey, Blood of Eden, Talon, and Shadow of the Fox series was
born in Sacramento, California. But nothing exciting really happened to her
there. So, at the age of nine she and her family moved to Hawaii, which she
soon discovered was inhabited by large carnivorous insects, colonies of house
geckos, and frequent hurricanes. She spent much of her time in the ocean, when
she wasn’t getting chased out of it by reef sharks, jellyfish, and the odd eel.
When not swimming for her life, Julie
immersed herself in books, often to the chagrin of her schoolteachers, who
would find she hid novels behind her Math textbooks during class. Her love of
reading led her to pen some very dark and gruesome stories, complete with
colored illustrations, to shock her hapless teachers. The gory tales faded with
time, but the passion for writing remained, long after she graduated and was
supposed to get a real job.
To pay the rent, Julie worked in
different bookstores over the years, but discovered the managers frowned upon
her reading the books she was supposed to be shelving. So she turned to her
other passion: training animals. She worked as a professional dogtrainer for
several years, dodging Chihuahua bites and overly enthusiastic Labradors, until
her first book sold and she stopped training to write full time.
Julie now lives in North Carolina with
her husband, two obnoxious cats, and a pair of Australian Shepherds that have
more Instagram followers than she does
