I liked the first one more, I think these are ones I shouldn't read all together otherwise the writing style will start to annoy me. I can only handle so much!
But they are fun and humorous in the beginning.

I want to KILL Drake. What a horrible choice for a PnR hero. I don't know if MacAlister expects her audience to find his behaviour acceptable or if she wants us to hate him. I don't understand, he's a complete asshole, talk about emotional abuse. Bleh. On to the Review:
The Good News:
- Hilarious and out of this world scenes as usual! What with Rene appearing in Budapest as a sub for his sick cab driver cousin! Or the incubi wanting to work at Macdonalds! MacAlister thinks up some pretty funny stuff, highly entertaining.
- Jim. Jim is deffinitely the funniest, and cutest, sidekick ever.
- As always, a fast and light read doesn't require too much thinking and is a perfect pool read.
- The delightful cast of supernatural beings, especially the proffesional... virgin. Yes, virgin!
The Bad News:
- DRAKE. No I'm not going to let this go. At some point in the book I had had enough of his extremely bad attitude and decided to quit the series, but I love Jim too much to abandon him.
- Drake & Aisling's relationship. Sex. That's it. I think if I add up the dialogue they have had in both books, minus all the sex talk, I would end up with one page. What the hell do they like about each other?! He's an uptight chauvinistic bastard that steps all over here, and she's an idiot that keeps ruining his relationship with the dragons. This is the most unrealistic relationship that I have ever come across in any PnR novel. It's ridiculous!
- Aisling's idiocy. Noone can be this dumb. I refuse to believe.
Conclusion:
This book had it's ups (Jim and humorosity) and downs (Drake ans pointless lust relationship), sure I thought about quitting many times. However, at the end MacAlister saved her characters and I found a reason to continue. I have a feeling I will regret it. :P. Off to the next book!

Meh. Okay, now I think I've figured out this author's formula, and it's not great... or at least it's not great when used for every book. I find myself now irritated at the domineering Drake and the eventually submissive (or really sad and wanting to be submissive) Aisling. Could this main character be more self deprecating and insecure in every aspect of her life? I thought that was cute and humorous when she didn't know what she was doing, but now it's just irritating and predictable.
The plots themselves are becoming formulaic... I find myself disappointed to note that the resolution in this book is not even vaguely like the first book... it is EXACTLY LIKE the resolution in the previous book, with a predictable ending.
I'm currently reading the third book, but I have a feeling it will be my last.

Pretty good. I am glad that drake and ash finally got together but I was sad at the ending.

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.
