About this listen
A tale of a woman and her stardrake....
Kayla’s parents had always told her that they would get her a stardrake when she was older....
They died and never did.
Now on the verge of graduating from StarCorps Academy with her PhD, Kayla decides the time is right and volunteers for a service drake raising program.
It lasts one year.
At the end, she must return the stardrake so it can be trained and paired with an owner who needs it.
Expecting it to be all cuddles and cuteness, Kayla is unprepared when she is given Barnabus, a bundle of trouble. He turns her life upside down, putting her whole academic career in jeopardy.
Will she even last the year?
If she does, how can she give up something she has started to love?
Inspired by a true story, The Stardrake Effect is an emotionally resonant tale stuffed with laughter, friendship, spaceships, and heartbreak.

Why does my heart feel like it’s beating out of my chest? I want his lips on mine. I want to see what’s beneath that icy exterior. And in class, I imagine him shoving me onto his desk and taking me right there.

Story
Lately the unexpected is the new norm for Seren Winters. She's single, four months pregnant, and trying not to worry about where she'll be living by the end of the year. Still, the last thing she expects when she shows up for her first doctor-prescribed water aerobics class is a hot butch instructor. Even more unexpected is accidentally dunking her. Despite an undeniable attraction, Seren is sure dating Paige is a bad idea. But can Paige change Seren's mind before her two weeks teaching the class is up?

Story
Tessa O'Connell is a girl as ordinary as they come - or so she thinks. Her aim for senior year is to keep her head down yet somehow manage to convince her childhood love, Jay Stone, to love her back. What she isn't prepared for is for Jay's brother, Cole, to return to town and change the life she's always been seemingly content to live. Tall, gorgeous as all hell, and a bad boy with ocean blue eyes and the perfect edge of adorability, he was her greatest tormentor, her number one enemy.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Space Dogs
Note: I listened to this book through audible, and I highly recommend you do the same; Marti Dumas does an excellent job bring the Kayla to life.
Scott King does a great job capturing the university experience, minus the surviving on ramen part (unless that was just me). If you're a lover of dogs, you'll love the relationship between Kayla and her stardrake. I'd love to see a sequel that explores another stardrake that acts more like a cat, with an utter indifference to the plot.
A fast, fun, read. Best enjoyed as an audio book.
