 didnt really light my fire May 9, 2008
i have read better in the supernatural/romance genre and since this was the third in the series a lot of the back story went right over my head. would recommend sookie stackhouse series and undead series if you liked this
 thank god... May 10, 2007

with many american chick lit, you tend to find that you never get a decent ending, mainly because the heroin always runs away or acts unreasonably and frankly quite selfishly. i have always found this iritating as, although its funny, it gets a bit old, and you begin to wonder when its all going to end, if ever. the end to light my fire was a pleasant serprise, i must admit... without giving to much away, light my fire has been, in my opinion the best yet, as it not only gives you a good ending, but makes you want to read the next, as there are quite a few loose ends to follow up. i cant wait for the next instalment!!!

Loved it, what a great funny book, really enjoyable, lighthearted, laugh out loud funny.
It is part of a series of three books, really worth purchasing all three to enjoy them at their best.
To the author, I say, wonderful, more please.

I adore the convoluted twists and turns that are the hallmarks of Katie MacAlister.
This is another stunner. After waiting patiently and promising myself I would make it last, I zipped through it in 2 days because I just couldn't stop myself.
I told my boyfriend I was reading a New Aisling book and he said `I know, I could tell by the squeals of excitement and outbursts of denial and disbelief I could hear from the other room.'
Such is my very vocal reaction to these fabulously well crafted tales.
Poor Aisling never seems to get a chance to catch up with her circumstances.
She needs time to read her notes and get a handle on the Otherworld that she has fallen in to but Fate it seems, has other ideas.
The world Katie has created is beautifully tailored with our own and established in its own right. The characters are loveable and charming or infuriating or down right evil and sometimes all of these things at once. All of them well rounded and fabulously developed to elicit all of these emotions and then some.
This is a truly amazing series which just continues to get better with every book.
I have personally bought 6 copies of the first book, which I have given to my friends and family, sure in the knowledge that they will adore Katie and Aisling as much as I do.
Not only does this book leave me desperate for the next one but with a lot to think about in the meantime.
Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

At least, that's what she keeps insisting throughout the book. No matter how tricky her situation, no matter how convoluted her life becomes I just cannot look away. It's that very reason the character of Aisling Grey continues to entertain with such riveting, side splittingly induced laughter. If ever there was a story of an underdog in paranormal romances, this series is it.
Having recently acquired a mentor in whom to learn all things Guardian, Aisling feels life is finally looking up for her. But then she gets another dose of Otherworld reality upside the noggin and it's back down that slippery slope once more. Once she gets to sliding, it's rather hard for Aisling to stop too. After coming to terms with the stoic Drake, wyvern of the green dragons and her mate, she's ready to take on the responsibilities it entails. Dragon politics are never pretty though and when imps run amuck, demons from Abbadon begin demanding impromptu meetings, and even more prestigious positions in the Otherworld open up to her, it's all Aisling can do to keep her pet demon Effrijim fed and up to date on his walkies.
The one irritant about this series to date is Aisling's continued ignorance. Granted, she's not had much time to get on her studies, but a little boning up on the basic running of the Otherworld would gain her tremendous resources and a little common sense. How she has managed to survive so far with all her bungling is amazing. And therein lies the crux--it just wouldn't be the same Aisling if she were indeed wiser to the happenings around her. This third installment continues on the first two's tradition of non-stop laughter and incredible situations that will leave readers gasping to see how she gets out of current situations. I feel even though she is the main character in the story, she is somewhat of an underdog due to her lack of knowledge about the Otherworld. If she was as knowledgeable as she possibly could be, man oh man she'd be astounding.
The secondary characters that have carried throughout so far, Rene, Jim the demon hound and Drake make each installment that much more a delight to read. I do believe Jim, who is usually the comic relief, is my favorite character of the series with the best lines to boot. Drake, as heroes go, is handsome, very alpha, yet not nearly in focus as our flawed Aisling, but this is a first person novel. Their relationship does gain some positive ground in this installment, but anything can happen in the Otherworld, especially with Aisling in the mix. As always, the incredible events told in this one have opened many new possibilities for Aisling's next set of Guardian adventures. Can't wait to see what she tangles up next!
