★★★★✩ (This is a review of the audiobook.) Who knew Barbara Rosenblat had so many funny voices? There is a “Newfie” in this book that she anthropomorphizes with a hilarious “woe is me” tone in his voice – oh, excuse me, a Newfoundland, as Jim prefers to be called! This first in the Aisling Grey, Guardian series is a hoot! Ms. Rosenblat sounds completely different than she does in the Amelia Peabody Mysteries.

The sequel, Fire Me Up will be read very soon! ...more

You Slay Me introduces us to Aisling Grey. She's off to deliver a statue for her uncle. When she arrives at the buyer's home, she finds her dead. That's not the only surprise that awaits her there, a hottie named Drake is there and he ends up stealing the statue.

This story had some seriously LOL quotes, mainly made by Drake and Jim, Aisling's "dog". Aisling, believing she's just your everyday human, can't understand what's going on when people start calling her "Guardian". Drake turns out to be ...more

This book was fun. I didn't expect it so, since I put off reading this twice already. Surprisingly, it was a fun and light read and I enjoyed it. I will surely read the rest of her story. ...more
