Holy Smokes by Katie MacAlister Book 4 of the Aisling Grey series

Holy Smokes: An Aisling Grey, Guardian, NovelBook Blurb:  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…


My Thoughts:
This was an interesting ending to the Aisling Grey books.  I have to say, the books got better as the series went on.  This last book in the series was the best in my opinion.  Aisling matured more and more, became less flakey and seemed to get herself out of trouble a little easier.  I was glad to see the relationship of her and Drake finally evolve into something with a little more substance.  I never really understood his fascination with someone so completely different than himself.  In the end the two seemed more compatible and I was pleased about that.  All in all the series was pretty good and set the background for all her post-published and upcoming dragon novels.    



Playing With Fire, Fire Me Up and Light My Fire by Katie MacAlistar

Playing with Fire (Silver Dragons, Book 1)Book 1  Playing with Fire....Good intro into the Asling Grey world.  She comes off as a little immature and green, but hey, what can you expect for a mere mortal?  She hasn't a clue what she is doing, accidentally summoning up the doggie demon Jim, who turns out to be her best friend and learning things about the Otherworld that she once thought was mere fiction.  I wasn't really sure what to expect with this being book one from a 4 book series.  All I can say is that I am glad she continues to mature throughout the series.







Fire Me Up (Aisling Grey, Guardian, Book 2)Book 2  Fire me Up....We are brought into Drake and Asling's relationship more with this book as the two (more so Asling) seem to accept the whole mate thing.  Drake wants fealty and Asling him, but she also wants to be independent and to explore what it means to be a Guardian.  An idea Drake isn't too keen on.  Asling's life is one twist and turn after another, and Jim her trusty smart mouthed demon sidekick  keeps the humor going throughout.               








Light My Fire (Aisling Grey, Guardian, Book 3)Book 3  Light My Fire.....The third installment in the series definately keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the book.  I truely enjoyed seeing Asling grow into the duties that are seeming thrust into her life with as much grace (and debaucle) as she can muster.  She seems to get into more and more trouble with each turn of the page.  With Guardianship training and a new start in life looking bright, things take a turn for the disasterous when Drake shows back up in Asling's life 4 weeks after leaving him in Paris.  She can't get enough of his presence, but would rather keep him far away to stave away her desire for him since he just can't seem to understand how importiant her Guardianship means to her.  I'm looking forward to reading the fourth and final installment of the series.
