An interview with Leah and Nigel.


Nigel: Leah! Welcome back! The last time you visited, you had not had a very good experience with the book we discussed. I trust Light My Fire was better?

Leah: Oh yes, Nigel! Much better! I love this series more and more with every book that I read.


Nigel: I am so glad to hear that. What do you think of the characters?

Leah: As am I, Nigel, as am I. The characters, oh the characters! W More...

Book 3 in Katie MacAlister's Aisling Grey Guardian series (contemporary paranormal romance). This was a big step up from book 2 of the series. The plot was much more intricate with an insane number of challenges for Aisling to overcome:
Drake returns to Aisling's life and they attempt to come to a compromise they can both live with to stay together;
Her demon dog eats the king of the imps and the imps want Aisling's head;
There's a war brewing between the red and green dragons t More...

This is the third book in the Aisling Grey Guardian series by Katie MacAlister. I thought that this book was much better than the second book and much more on par with the first book.

Aisling is moving to London to start her Guardian training with Nora. Once again right from the beginning things start going wrong. She finds out Nora is being called in for questioning which could lead to Nora losing her rights to mentor Aisling. Then on her first outing with Nora; Jim eats the imp king. More...

Aisling: “Well, I know it’s no substitute for a corgi, but you’ve got a dog for companionship. You’ve got Paco now.”
Jim: “Paco isn’t a dog. Paco is a snack.”

Aisling: “Demon, I command thee to zip thy lips until you get over your case of the grumps"

“The sun will never rise on a day when I say something that’s not worth its weight in platinum,”
my demon answered. “Hi, Rene. How they hangin’?”

Fiat rose from his chair with swift elegance. “You have much More...

book one (you slay me): aisling grey discovers she's a guardian and a green dragon wyvern's mate
book two (fire me up): aisling grey is being chased by incubuses (appearing in her bed naked, hahaha) and mortal men are obsessed with her (because of the amulet)
well.....in book three (light my fire), i would say A LOT of stuff has been happening with aisling grey, AND I MEAN A LOT!!!

I am loving these books, but why can't I have this cover:



I am enjoy a good look-and-drool and this cover would have helped me greatly, look at the gorgeous and manly man chest, oh well moving on....the book! Once again, Aisling get's into more crap then you can shake a stick at, problem number one: Jim ate the Imp King; problem number two: Drake is a right bastard who betrayed her trust; Problem number 3: a Prince of Hell is trying to coerce her into helping him; Problem numb More...

I read this in one sitting. Things get really serious for Aisling, there are a lot of revelations in this book, her relationship with Drake improved and it just shows us that open communication is the key. She is in a total mess here, stepping on responsibilities she doesn't want but somehow because of fate, a certain duty (burden) is upon her. Gabriel gave up challenging Drake for Aisling to be his mate due to some reason unconfirmed. This story started where the second book left off, there are More...

My ratings system is as follows. One star is GOOD. The book is entertaining, easy to read and you don't want to stop reading because something about the book is compelling you not to. Two stars is GREAT! This time the story is not only entertaining, but highly creative, unique, easy to read and hard to put down. Three stars is EXCELLENT. Here the book has all aspects of one and two stars, but now the book is thought and emotionally provoking. Four is AWESOME. This is the read that is not onl More...

Aisling & Drake... hmmm....

Aisling... Guardian, Demon Lord, Wyvern mate... and by the end of the story, a prince of hell and Venediger... everything that could go wrong, goes wrong - imps attack, red dragons spear her, she is manipulated by blue dragon Fiat, and by demon prince Bael aka Peter, Drake's mother does not like her... and the only thing that is resolved in her favor is Drake -

Yay, Aisling's back! This time, she's in beautiful London, England. She's been accepted as an apprentice, and is looking forward to beginning her studies towards becoming a Guardian. Only problem? Just about everyone is out for her head.

No, really. This book does feature lots of politics (of the dragon-, Guardian- and demon variety), but each and every instance of it revolves around someone trying to do away with her, literally and figuratively.

It's always fun to follow More...

I'm hoping there will be more of a personal connection with Drake in this one. I feel that I'm not getting enough info about him to really connect w/ him as a hero. Plus, I can't stand how he calls her "mate" and orders here around all the time. ***spoiler alert*** I KNEW that there was something otherworldly about taxi-driver Rene! I think Aisling can be a bit obtuse sometimes.

Well, I did end up liking Drake more in this one, but I still feel a disconnect. Aisling can tell More...

Things just don't seem to go right for Aisling. First off, her boyfriend is a total jerk. Second it appears that she is a hot commodity in the Dragon World. Third, the whole freaking kingdom of Abaddon is trying to worm its way into her life. And the Imps! Despite not being aware of the codes and regulations of any and all the worlds and places, Aisling is struggling to keep the peace between everyone (or rather everything. But hey, there seems to be hope on the horizon, if she can stay in place More...

I'd give it 3 1/2 if I could. This was a fun read.

Aisling continues to get in over her head as someone's trying to kill her, imps are after her, she's pulled into a battle for supremacy in hell and her Guardian mentor is issued a cease and desist order from the Guild on training her. Oh, and the magic group in France still wants her to take over.

The adventures are all well and good but what I liked the most was that Aisling is actually maturing and trying to deal with the i More...

Tons of Suspense - My Favorite in This Series So Far, December 6, 2008
This is not a stand-alone book, so be sure to read "You Slay Me" and "All Fired Up" first. I listened to the audio version of this book and Barbara Rosenblat gives a another stellar performance telling this fun, witty and suspensful story.

Aisling Gray moves to London with her demon sidekick Jim, to be the guardian apprentice of her friend Nora. Once again, she is joined by her "taxi More...

3.5 stars, methinks. I'm starting to be less annoyed by Aisling, and I'm trying to look past Drakes extreme bossiness (which, admittedly, he is trying to work on). Buuuuut, I think everything going on is just a little too much. <spoiler>Considering how clueless Aisling can be, she really shouldn't have so much power. Guardian, Wyvern mate, demon lord/demon prince, possibly Venediger... it's just too much, you know?</spoiler>. Overall, I liked the book more than I didn't like it, and More...

Light My Fire was one dilemma after the other. All Ashling wants is to study with Nora to become a full fledged Guardian. Now that Nora has accepted Ash as her apprentice, she is moving to London to do just that. Of course nothing is simple for Ashling, so she has to deal with the imps threats (jims fault of course) the red dragon's assassination attempts, the demons politics, and these are just the major problems, all while avoiding one heartbreaking green eyed dragon. The ending really left me More...

This has been my favorite book in the series so far. Aisling was starting to annoy me a bit at the beginning, but the action picked up quickly and I got over it. I'm not usually a fan of airheaded main characters, nor sarcastic sidekicks, but I enjoy this series. The characters make me smile and laugh, and I was happy that there wasn't some magical artifact involved in this one. I'm also happy that Aisling got over her grudge with Drake. I'll be interested to read the next book in the series, th More...

No ridiculous separations in this one. Thank Heavens-that kind of annoyed me a bit in the first two. Aisling is still gripes as much as ever-bless her heart-but has grown too, and is actually much more likeable to me now. Both of them have grown a bit actually.
Refreshing.
Just for that aspect alone, I liked this book better than the last. The story on the whole was better for me actually. I'd give this one 3.5 stars if I could. This series still amuses me and I'm left with unanswere More...

This is another good book about Aisling Grey. This one takes place a month after the previous one in London. Aisling is hurting from the betrayal of Drake, so she moves to London for training. She falls into trouble at the beginning with demon lords, Red Dragons, and Drake after her. Not to mention the Imps because of a little accident. She comes through it truly with Drake and different for awhile with two new titles that she doesn't want. The listening is good, as one of my favorite read More...

Light My Fire is my favourite of the Aisling Grey, Guardian novels so far. I really couldn’t put this book down, although I did find things got a bit confusing at the end.

Aisling has moved to London to begin her Guardian training when things begin to go awry. Surprise, surprise! As in the previous two novels, trouble seems to find Aisling no matter where she goes. Through no fault of her own (or at least not much of her own) she finds herself being hunted by imps, demon lords, dragon More...

Book #3 in the Aisling Grey, Guardian novels. Now Aisling is in London about to start her training as a Guardian with her mentor Nora. But things are never easy and her recent past catches up with her - her mate Drake is in town, and war has started between the green and red septs. Also someone is trying to kill Aisling and people keep trying to get her to agree to support them as either Venediger or Prince of Abbaddon. This felt like a snack - not really a full meal, very easy and fast to consu More...

This is the third book in the Aisling Grey, Guardian series. Whenever I start reading these Aisling Grey books, I read all the girly-girl romance crap at the beginning and think to myself, I'm not going to read any more from this series after this one. I just don't have the time with all the other great books I've got waiting on my shelf. However, about halfway into the book, it begins to pick up the pace and grab my interest, and then ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger so that I'm looking for More...

After having left Drake, again, at the end of the previous book, Aisling heads to London to live with Nora who agreed to mentor her training. She's not there long however before Drake turns up, requesting her presence at a sept meeting.

She's having trouble with the other wyverns too. The red dragons are trying to kill her, she thinks Gabriel of the silver dragons pushed her in front of a train and Fiat of the blue dragons keeps trying to kill her. On top of that, she's being pressure More...

The third of the Aisling Grey series. The whiny parts where Aisling goes on about 'why do things always happen to me' are getting a little old by this point. On the other hand, there is definite character growth and development. None of the characters remains as a static object. Yes, the book still made me laugh. Yes, it was still fun. More questions are answered. But the ending sort of left me hanging. We'll see how the series is wrapped up in the next book.

I love to love these books! They are so fun, fast and witty. The main character, Aisling Grey, she's tough, brave, completely naive, but hilarious. And her Demon Dog, just makes this book. Once again in this book, she's faced with more responsibilites, more abilities and way more obstacles. It is action packed, and completely unexpected with plot changes and twists, so it keeps you hooked. Ok, I will admit I find my face blushing at the sexuality periodically, but oh well.

Actual rating: 3.5

Aisling did some changing in this book. She’s different. More mature in the sense that she is learning to not rise to the bait. She’s still slightly clueless (and not doing much of her required reading, as the case may be), but learning. That is all I will say on the matter lest I accidentally give spoilers. Just read the books yourself.

Apparently this is the 3rd book in the series, but I was able to catch on without many problems. However, so many things happened to the main character, that it wore me out. There wasn't any down time to absorb what happened, before the next BIG thing occurred.

Not a bad story, and I liked the quirky characters, but I don't think I'll continue with this particular series. I wouldn't be opposed to trying her other books, though.
