Book Reviews of Holy Smokes (Aisling Grey, Guardian, Book 4)
Book Review: Smokie, is right.
Summary: 4 Stars
I adore Katie Macalister, this is going to sway my opinion. However, a series so finely written, ended on a sour note. This book wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, it was quite good. However the three previous books where literally on fire they were so hot, while this one sort of petered out... I dont know if there will be a fifth, if there is I hope it will be a bit better.Book Review: Good ending for the series
Summary: 4 Stars
"Holy Smokes" was a fantastic ending to the Aisling Grey, Guardian Series. Although I would have been happy with another book or two of Aisling, this was fun.Book Review: Holy Smokes-Aisling Gray Guardian Book 4
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an excellent read. I will continue
to purchase and read more books by this
author.
Book Review: Holy Smokes
Summary: 3 Stars
In the fourth and what seems to be the final installation in the series, Drake and Aisling are finally getting married - as soon as she figures out how to get him to the altar!
As if the continued delay of their nuptials weren't enough Aisling must also deal with helping Drake fuel the warfare between the green and red dragons, beating Fiat (wyvern of the blue sept) off with a stick -- since he is still claiming Aisling as HIS mate, difficult family members who are popping out the woodworks and her demon dog, Jim, with his hilarious and smart-aleck commentaries.
It seems as though Aisling is finally learning how to get things under control as she is still in the process of getting used to her dual role as Guardian and Demon Lord.
This book is strictly for entertainment and is a fun read by and large.
Also, as other reviewers have stated, you definitely should start at the very beginning, as this is a series that you must read in order so that you are not lost - because there is a lot to keep up with.
I would be excited to see a 5th book set in place, but I do think that MacAlister did a good job of bringing it to a conclusion. 4 stars.
Book Review: Not quite smokin'
Summary: 3 Stars
Katie doesn't quite pull off a completely satisfying read this time around.
Others have mentioned that Aislings's continued clueless state about her powers and the ins and outs of the septs and guardians is wearing a little thin.
I have to agree.
If you are living with dragons and demons and powers of darkness, you would think a person would try very hard to learn more about what she is in to. I know, that would take away some comedic possibilities. But, I do think it would advance the series to "smarten" up Aisling.
It seems like a case of trying too hard to me.
I enjoyed it to a point. Jim and Rene are great characters.
I could follow the plot for the most part.
But there isn't a whole lot of evolving going on with Aisling and Drake after four novels. I think we need less boinking and more bonding with these two.
Forget reading this if you have not read the others. There is just so
much going on, you practically need a character compendium to follow along.
I love the way Katie writes. This very slightly disappointing effort has not put me off her books in any way.
