Holy Smokes by Katie MacAlister


Genre: Paranormal Romance; Demons, Dragons, Magic, Guardian, Aisling Grey
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: I’m Aisling Grey—but you can call me "frustrated." The man of my dreams—uber-sexy Drake Vireo, wyvern of the green dragons—has finally decided to make an honest woman of me. That is, if we ever make it to the wedding at the same time! Being left at the altar may have cooled my jets, but not my passion...a good thing when Drake disappears and it's up to me to find him. Most brides just have in-laws to worry about. Me? I have warring dragons, ticked-off demon lords, eternal damnation, and a mage who wants to challenge me for an otherworldly position I don’t even want. Good thing I have Jim, my doggie-demon at my side. He’s never let me down—yet…


This is the fourth book in the Aisling Grey, Guardian series. Ok first and for most at the beginning of this one I got a little annoyed. Come on Aisling and Drake deserve a happily ever after. But I got over it fast as the story went on. I really thought that this was a great way to wrap up Aisling’s story. I found it very funny and truly enjoyed reading this whole series.

Light My Fire by Katie MacAlister



Genre: Paranormal Romance; Demons, Dragons, Magic, Guardian, Aisling Grey
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: It’s not easy being a demon lord, a Guardian, and a wyvern’s mate all at once. Luckily, I just moved to London to study all things Guardian with my mentor. A new start is just what I need since being betrayed (again!) by Drake, wyvern of the green dragons. Though I’m supposedly immortal, I’m not so sure my heart can take another beating. But I’m still officially Drake’s mate—and my presence is required at a meeting of the green dragons. How I’m going to keep my distance from that fire-breathing hunk is beyond me. It doesn’t help that several attempts have been made on my life. Or that I’m wanted by the entire otherworldly population of imps since Jim, my doggie demon sidekick, accidentally ate their ruler. Being an alpha-dragon and all, Drake is sure to get protective of me. Which might not be a bad thing when war breaks out and all hell breaks loose—literally…

This is the third book in the Aisling Grey, Guardian series. Ah… Meeting the rest of the family. Aisling has so much to do and all the while try not getting killed. With everything that is happening she still is hurt by what Drake has done to her. So she isn’t quite sure how to be around him and yet she does enjoy all his protectiveness. When every hits the roof it seems to come out alright. I really like the outcome of this book. I gave me that girly feel. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Holy Smokes.

Fire Me Up by Katie MacAlister



Genre: Paranormal Romance; Demons, Dragons, Magic, Guardian, Aisling Grey
Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Aisling Grey is back--and in more trouble than ever. She thought being a courier would be easy. It's not. She thought being a Guardian would come naturally. It doesn't. She thought she could get out of being a wyvern's mate. She can't. And she never thought she'd be irresistible to men. But she is...

This is the second book in the Aisling Grey series. Aisling still hasn’t learned. As she believes that she can get out of many of the predict that she finds herself in. The only problem is that with every fix she thinks she is making she is just getting in deeper. Loved where the series is going I am curious how she and Drake are going to work things out. But I still find that I enjoyed this story. I am looking forward in reading the next book in this series, Light My Fire.

My Zombie Valentine by Katie MacAlister, Angie Fox, Marianne Mancusi, Lisa Cach


Genre: Paranormal Romance; Zombies, Magic, Vampires, Demons
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Four women are about to dig up the truth. Tired of boyfriends who drain you dry? Sick of guys who stay out all night howling at the moon? You can do better. Some men want you not only for your body, but your brains. Especially your brains. It’s true! There are men out there who care – early-rising, down-to-earth, indefatigable men who’ll follow you for miles. They’ll take the time to surprise you, over and over. One sniff of that perfume, and you’ll have to use a shotgun to fight them off. And then, once you get together, all they want is to share a nice meal. And another. And another. Romeo and Juliet, eat your hearts out.

This is an anthology of some great authors. Each story has something to do with zombies. The first is about a girl with two souls who helps the undead. The second is about a Voodoo priestess raising her one true love. The third is about zombies taking over a movie set. While the last one is about a plastic surgeon who is creating zombies. Each story is very well written. I found this to be a fun book. There is love and humor as well as danger and suspense throughout the book. I like that there was something different in each story. They had their own take on zombies which made for a great read. I really enjoyed it.

You Slay Me by Katie MacAlister


Genre: Paranormal Romance; Demons, Dragons, Magic, Guardian, Aisling Grey
Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: The first book in a sexy, humorous paranormal thriller series featuring Aisling Grey, an apprentice Guardian, and her sometimes boyfriend, sometimes foe Drake Vireo, wyvern (leader) of one of the four dragon septs. Aisling finds her true calling when she travels to Paris to deliver a medieval object that is part of a set sought after for the power it wields. There she meets the handsome Drake, a man who is not at all what he seems. Implicated in the circumstances of two murders, Aisling, the demon she summons for help (and subsequently can’t get rid of) named Jim, and Drake find themselves caught up in a web of lies and confusion that could well result in the demon lords of hell ruling the mortal world.
Aisling Grey doesn’t quite know what she is getting herself into. She keeps making mistakes and somehow ends up becoming a wyvern’s mate. There is a lot going on in this book. Even though there is murder and mayhem it is all played like some kind of comedy of errors. It is very light and completely entertaining. I really got a good laugh out of this. I want to know where this series is going so I look forward to reading the next book, Fire Me Up.
