In honestly, I have to admit that I threw this book across the room at page 176 This is an act I have not performed since I read Mercedes Lackey s The Silver Gryphon, which was to packing luggage as MST3K s The Lost Continent was to rock climbing.I did not finish this book, but after a week of my wife giggling at my grumbling before it became a thrown missle damage 1d2 , I feel qualified enough to sayAisling Grey is a quirky, funny woman who I pictured as Veronica Mars era Kirsten Bell I liked h [...]

I honestly cannot believe I found this book so enjoyable It s been sitting on my shelf since those long ago days before I d read a million and one different paranormal romance and or urban fantasy stories I bought it back when I was rather new to the genres and I used to be all sexy vampires, quirky heroine, supernatural mystery what could you possibly want from a novel Since then I ve come to realise that a whole lot of the PNR UF world is kind of, well shite.But I have been surprised here tod [...]

Light and fluffy buddy read with the Wednesday UF Group of BBB.If you like smart and assertive female leads this book is not for you If you like adult talk and by that I mean not using toddler words this book is not for you If you like to skip eyerolling until your eyes hurt this book is not for you.Aisling Grey almost made me bash my head in The poor woman is a natural disaster and I wonder how she s managed to survive to her late 30ies She s clueless but at least she s aware of it However, the [...]

Buddy read with the fantastic UF Wednesday group over at BBB because we need something light and fluffy for a change Something flashed deep in his dark green eyes Are you unwell You aren t going to vomit on me, are you That wasn t on my list of planned activities for the afternoon, no, but if you really insist, I suppose I could try for a hairball or something Aisling Grey s first job as a courier should have been easy but Aisling seems to be a magnet for trouble and the supernatural When trying [...]

2.75 Gates of Abbadon StarsRead with Buddies Books and Baubles because after some heavy emotional reads you just need something silly.This is a book you really have to be in the mood to totally turn off your brain and that little thing you carry around and call common sense and just go with it.I m not sure that my brain is ever this turned off but overall it isn t a horrible story it just has a TSTL heroine in it I struggle with those Hopefully this book is just to show us how far the heroine is [...]

3.5 starsThis was a fun little romp The best character was definitely Jim The story was slightly predictable, but the fun levels overrode some of that for me so I enjoyed it I like the world I like Drake I love Jim I really like Rene I m curious for about the Guardians.Thus, overall, a decent read Not bad for light and fluffy PNR.

Aisling Grey, the heroine of this series, is a ditz She s also a Guardian and a wyvern s mate Don t worry if you don t know what that means Aisling doesn t either Generally speaking, I can t stand ditzes But every once in awhile one crosses my path who I can t help but love I had a very lovable ditzy friend in college And another nice ditz is dating someone I know and hopefully he marries her someday From a bookish standpoint, Bridget Jones is another fantastic ditz And if you ve read and enjoye [...]

Katie MacAlister first book in a riveting series is golden for romance fantasy lovers everywhere.It s hard to believe You Slay Me was one of the first books in Katie MacAlister s giant dragon universe does it have an official name All of the series within this universe It probably does This book was the first of many cute, sexy, fantasy filled books focusing on dragons And it s safe to say it s fantastic This is one of my many guilty pleasures that I keep on my shelf for when I m having a rough [...]

4.5 StarsAisling is such a fun heroine She reminds me a bit of Stephanie Plum She s kinda clueless at the beginning, gets sucked into a paranormal world she had no idea existed, and she had always been a part of.I enjoyed the storyline a lot, it was very different And for someone not used to reading books about dragons, I loved this one It may have something to do with the extremely delicious green dragon Drake He is sexy But, the book wouldn t be the same without Aisling s sidekick A demon she [...]

This is about a woman named Aisling who, as a courier, goes to Paris to deliver a precious artifact for her uncle and ends up finding out she has special powers, is a Guardian, a wyvern s dragon s mate, and gets hilariously involved in a murder mystery with the city s supernatural and magical citizens This book was really funny, and Katie MacAlister s writing style is right up my alley Drake Vireo an immortal green dragon in the form of one smokin hot male is one of the better male romantic inte [...]

I hated this Throughout the book, I couldn t wait to get done with it.The heroine Asiling and her demon sidekick a dog say mean things and use sarcasm toward almost everyone throughout the book Not once did I find the sarcasm funny, witty or entertaining It felt like someone telling unfunny jokes Some readers might enjoy this type of humor I do not.The heroine does stupid things which I didn t like She starts out believing she is a normal human Others tell her that she is a guardian with powers, [...]

I was recommended this book a long time ago, but I never felt the burning desire to pick it up and read it It sounded interesting, but nothing I needed to rush out and buy Until recently when my bestie was reading the series and I was laughing my ass off at the things she told me Dude, I m glad I picked it up.I love Aisling Even if she is an idiot a lot of the time I mean, really, girl, you do lots of stupid shit But it s pretty hilarious, so I forgive your ridiculous tendencies Aisling makes me [...]

I read this book because I needed a title beginning with y for a book challenge and this one popped up I am so glad it did because it was a thoroughly lighthearted and amusing piece of entertainment The story line seems fairly stereotypical for this genre tremendously good looking man who is actually something other in this case dragon but it could have been vampire, were wolf, fairy etc meets ditzy, beautiful girl with powers she does not know about yet Sounds familiar However this author write [...]

I actually read this series back when it was first being published but I ve forgotten a lot of it While I still liked the series it s definitely paranormal romance, and for the most part that genre any is not my cup of tea I ve read Katie MacAlister s recent Silver Dragons series and liked it but I found myself skimming through a lot of You Slay Me If you re a fan of PNR I d definitely recommend the series, but it was a little too light for me.

Frustrating read I like the world and the secondary characters, but I hated the heroine and did not enjoy continually watching her make a complete ass of herself.That sort of thing can be funny, a la the Pink Panther movies, but it requires the author to stick to it I can t be expected to point and laugh at the boob at one point and then take her seriously at another I think the first person narrative was also inappropriate If I m supposed to connect with her, don t make her an utter fool Rather [...]
