You Slay Me Aisling Grey Guardian Book 1 Katie Macalister 9780451411525 Books

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 going to come in the end, but so far she make with absolute worst choices. Good thing there is a funny demon dog and a Dragon to keep my interest peaked.

Aisling Grey is a courier and recently divorced. She knew nothing about the supernatural world she is about to be thrown into but when the woman she was supposed to deliver an artifact to is dead on her arrival she learns that everything she thought she knew about the world and her place in it was wrong.

So this series has potential but this particular book had so many little pet peavey things for me. But as always let’s start with the good.

JIM!!!! The Demon Dog Aisling Accidently Summoned.

He is the comic relief and the first to point out that all of her plan sorta suck and almost get them killed.

*** “...but I forgot that I've been bound to the Forest Gump of Guardians. Lucky, lucky me.”

And

“You’re not related to the Three Stooges are you? ‘Cause I could swear this escape scene is one of theirs.”***

Then there is the fact that the love interest is a Dragon. YES a dragon. I really am a sucker for most things with Dragons in them. They are one of my favorites and even better when they have a human form. I will even give props to the fact that even if it is announced that Aising is the Dragon’s mate she isn’t really having it and pretty much says that it is not happening. She might turn into a hormonal, wanton fool when Drake is close by but that doesn’t mean she is going to be stuck with him.

*** "You are too arrogant for your own good. I officially
de-mate you.
Go away. I never want to see you again.
Except maybe tonight.
Naked. Your place. But after that, no more.” ***

But now to the bad. Aisling was so ridiculous. She just ran around and bashed through so many different bad scenarios. I have a really hard time with TSTL heroines and in this she should have been dead at least three or four times. I don’t know if it is better or worse that she knows how clueless she is.

As for the who done it, that was pretty easy to figure out for the most part. Although, I did second guess myself a couple of times.

So pluses for Jim the Demon Doggie companion and Drake, minuses for Aisling herself and that is huge because she is the MC. Hopefully as she grows into maybe learning anything about what a guardian is and does she will be better.

You Slay Me Aisling Grey Guardian Book 1 Katie Macalister 9780451411525 Books Reviews

A surprisingly good read. Aisling is a strong lead character taking in to consideration that this is a lighthearted read. I like the concept of a "Guardian" and this is my first real exposure to dragons as the primary supernatural being. There were a lot of funny moments - most especially with Jim. I will probably continue the series but not in a big rush to do so.
'You Slay Me' was my first ever Katie MacAlister book. But I am totally converted! The Aisling Gray, Guardian series is awesome and has risen to become some of my all-time favorite books. I love the world Ms. MacAlister has created; the characters and story lines are so vivid that you feel like you're part of the action. Aisling is a "regular" woman whom I think most females can relate to, and root for. I loved her sarcasm, stubborness, heroism, clumsiness, etc, etc... And Jim! Hilarious! The pair of them had me cracking up.

This first book in the series introduces you to Aisling. You (and she!) learn she's a Guardian and that the "Otherworld" truly does exist! Both you and she are indoctrinated into this new world, learning about what really does exist guardians, mages, dragons, demons, etc. We meet Jim and Drake and follow Aisling along on her adventures as she tries to clear her name in a murder investigation. It's a very entertaining and fun read.

This series has everything dragons, demons, good vs. evil, humor, romance, intensity, passion, fire... I could go on and on! I could not put the books down. I read the 1st three through the library and was super bummed when they didn't have the fourth available. I went right to to promptly buy all four so I could own them for myself! I am kind of bummed that the series ends with the 4th book. I'd love to read more books about Aisling, Drake and Jim's adventures!

I'm so glad I bought these books as I know I'll read them time and time again. Do yourself a favor and read them. You won't be sorry!
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 fool 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 dodo 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 than laugh with her, I was cringing and skimming ahead.

Also, for something billed as "paranormal romance," it lacked romance. Aisling scarcely interacts with Drake in the book. There's no connection between them beyond the lazy Fated Mate trope.

I made it 3/4 of the way through the book and just couldn't take any more of Aisling's poor choices. I skimmed through to find out whodunnit and tossed it on the 'donate' pile. I was so disappointed. I really wanted to like it.
Aisling Grey is working for her uncle as a messenger when she goes to Paris to deliver a golden statue to a recipient whom she finds dead. A stranger claiming to be with Interpol is also at the crime scene and he proceeds to steal the statue and then disappear. Aisling is suspected of being the murderer by the Paris police so, if she is ever allowed to leave Paris she must clear herself and get the statue back from the mysterious thief. So the adventure begins, with our heroine learning that she is actually a Guardian and that the thief is a Dragon named Drake Verio, leader of the Green Dragons. A good adventure with lively and interesting characters.
