Fire Me Up by Katie MacAlister

kathydavie's review

Second in the Aisling Grey, Guardian urban fantasy series that somehow allows Aisling Grey to live. God knows why.

My Take
This has to have been the stupidest heroine I have ever encountered. I kept reading because I kept hoping she would somehow, miraculously stop being such an incredible idiot! There just had to be something redeeming in this crap.

She jumps in with both feet. She never listens to anyone. She gets angry when things don't go her way. Which they almost never do because she never listens to anyone. She never stops to find out what the ramifications of anything might be. She's an absolute, complete, and total moron. I haven't much respect for Drake either, because he keeps wanting to be around her.

I know this isn't how I normally do a review, but I'll just become furious if I have to spend any more time with this absolute twit.

Yes!!

A very enjoyable book with hilarious characters and plenty of heat. I was annoyed a few times, but mainly because she made silly choices and didn’t really listen. Girl...:

This is the second book I've read of this series in very short periods of time. I like Aisling as a character, but she is deeply flawed. To the point of calling her kletsy and falling into a world of otherworldly creatures - dragons, guardians, demons which which leads to her getting in all sorts of trouble. This is the formula for which these books are clearly written. But that doesn't make them bad. Doesn't make them boring. She gets into trouble and then has to find a way out of it. Usually we have murders. Usually we have some sort of committee telling her that she's not doing her job. My biggest problem with this book was actually that she got called for her past mistakes without really having any way to defend herself against them and I found that that was really off base for this book. Specifically. There's a lot of spice in this book. If you like spice this one is the one for you. I would say it's three out of five spices versus the probably two spices in the last book. But we are on the same formula. We've got Renee who's come back. She's found a really annoying virgin partner and of course we have Jim the demon to all help her through this trouble that she's got herself into. I understand that she's got to have a job that takes her to these places but it seems completely inane to have it at all. But either way, light read, beach read, chic-lit, this is all what you're looking for. We've got murders. We've got dragons. We've got spice. We've got Aisling.
