In this second book of the Guardian series, Aisling Grey is back and at it again. Trouble seems to follow poor Aisling wherever she goes, but no worries, she has her trusty demon Jim and Rene, her cab driver friend back to help her out.

In this story Aisling is in Budapest to deliver an amulet to a mysterious hermit. Attend the Godtam conference and hopefully find someone to mentor her in how to be a Guardian. In the meantime her story with Drake, the wyvern of the Green Dragons continues to unfold since he is also in Budapest with the other dragon septs for a peace summit.

The mystery, romance, wit and humor of this book made it almost impossible not to like Aisling and feel sympathy and humor at her many mistakes.

Solid 4 stars!

This is book 2 of the Aisling Grey novels and you definitely want to read the first in the series, "You Slay Me," before reading this one. And if you don't want to know too much too soon, don't read the later ones in the series before this one. The books are very linear so you want to read them in order to get the maximum enjoyment. However, if you do as I did and read book 1, then book 4, then book 2, you will still enjoy them but it does take away some of the fun.

These books are considered romances, but they don't follow the typical romance novel formula. There is romance and lots of sex but also fantasy and a little mystery added to the blend to keep them interesting.

Wow, double wow. This is the 2nd installment in the Aisling Grey Guardian series. I have to say I enjoyed this one even more the 1st book. The ongoing, tension-filled relationship between Aisling and Drake gets even more intense. How Aisling keeps up with everything that going on is something to admire. All I can say is that Ms. MacAlister has done another brilliant job in creating an intriguing story with lots of magic, lust, romance and betrayal. Plus can't forget Jim the demon (in dog form) is still hilarious as ever.

I highly recommend this series.

I have read the entire series. And, I'm pre-ordered on book #4. The books all seem to be so tongue in cheek...all of them are just good clean fun reading. Nothing serious...but, not fluff either. Aisling seems to stumble through her life. She falls from crisis to crisis. But, always seems to come out on top. Some of her solutions are hilarious.

I recommend this author. Everything so far has been a blast. I hope she keeps it up. Ya gotta love the dog...I've got two that are almost like him..minus the magic.

I have to preface this review by saying I love chick-lit. It is my guilty pleasure. And Katie MacAllister delivers in the first book in her Aisling Grey, Guardian series.
The main character, Aisling is acting as a courier, carrying a medieval artifact to a buyer in Paris. In short order, she discovers a body, meets an extremely good looking hunk of man, and has her artifact stolen. Oh, and the body? The purchaser of her artifact, strung up in a ritual to destroy a demon. How does Aisling know that fact? She's an amateur demon-lore scholar.
After she is released by the police, Aisling gets her second introduction to the Otherworld, and it changes what she knows, about herself, her life and the universe in general.
This book is well written, easy to read and fast paced. The Aisling, Jim and Rene's dialogue is interesting, which some of the other dialogue is a bit more formulaic. Drake can be forgiven for being such a perfect example of man (at least physically) by chalking it up to the fact that this book is found in the romance section of most bookstores. I do appreciate the fact that regardless of how romantic or good in bed the main man is, the main character, Aisling, stands on her own and listens to her head instead of her...uh...loins...
