Belador Cosaint by Dianna Love

Book 9 of the Belador urban fantasy series. Best to read them in order for the intricate dynamics of the various races.
This book continues the struggle and warring for power.
The dragon king vows to protect the Beladors and their families. He will do whatever is necessary to prevent more children from being kidnapped. When Quinn's daughter is one of the kidnapped victims, Reece is there to help. The tension rises as Veronika escapes her prison and the power grab escalates between the Maeve, the MedB, Viper, the Sterling witch and more.

It's an exciting rush that you hope your favorites survive.
I've felt sorry for Quinn in these last couple of books. He is so protective of his friends and yet can't seem to catch a break in his own life or in finding his daughter.
Not a cliff hanger. But definitely not the end of the power games.

An insight to Quinn.
Excerpt:
"It was in this moment with Reese that he realized the difference between what he'd experienced in the past and what he felt now. The sad truth was that Quinn's own burden of guilt and shame over his secret relationship had kept him from moving on emotionally. His heart had wandered around lost while he'd clung to his grief and focused on duty. He'd denied himself any semblance of a normal life, justifying his actions as being necessary to perform his duty.
He betrayed his people even though he hadn't known who Kizira was that first time.
For that, he truly believed he deserve no one."
