MacAlister, Katie: Fire Me Up
ISBN: 0451214943

From the Publisher:
Aisling Grey is back-and in more trouble than ever. She thought being a courier would be easy. It's not. She thought being a Guardian would come naturally. It doesn't. She thought she could get out of being a wyvern's mate. She can't. And she never thought she'd be irresistible to men. But she is.


Have I ever told you how much I love Katie MacAlister? Well, then let me tell you. A lot, I love her a lot. There's just something beautifully simple about her books, but at the same time there is a ton of thought and detail that goes into each chapter and each book.

Fire Me Up is a second book in one of her many, many series. It follows You Slay Me, where Aisling (pronounced Ash-ling) meets Drake, her future wyrven mate. Sparks fly, but she leaves him back in Europe while she returns home to the US. The second book picks up shortly after the first, starting with Aisling heading back to Europe (Budapest, this time) to attend an Otherworld conference and deliver an important amulet to a hermit.

As before, she finds herself tangled in a web of murders, and... well... Drake's bed sheets. This time, though - it's official, they're an item. There's lots of perks with the position of mate, but unfortunately being able to solve crimes that are framed on you are not.

MacAlister brings us a delightful cast of characters - oracles, mages, more guardians, incubi, and even a professional virgin (who spreads sunshine! To everyone! With her smiles!). I didn't necessarily laugh out loud with this book, but perhaps if I were a more expressive person, I would have. I found it very entertaining, and the plot was sound without being dense or heavy.

This book is definitely a for-adults book, and will probably appeal more to the female readership than male (read: Paranormal Romance at its best!).
