By the way, I consider you my possession now. Instead, imagine this scene as the standard for Drake encounters.ĭark Dickhead:No. If those three were solving mysteries, I'd read the whole series. I like her supporting cast: the intrepid, fearless Parisian cabbie and her talking dog demon.
Also, no matter how gross he is, Aisling can't stop think about having sex with him.ĭrake kills the book for me in any scene he's in. That's just in the next thirty pages after his introduction. Funny stuff.Īnd we meet the book's male lead, Drake Vireo.ĭrake is a dragon, a thief, and an overbearing misogynist who spent the rest of the book commiting creepy assaults, stealing Aisling's statue, claiming her as his mate, and refusing to help her. After all, very few people sit her down and explain things they just assume she's in the know, and she has to fake it. That's what she thinks is, eventually, at least. She's apparently a natural demon summoner. One, she finds her customer ritualistically murdered. Soon, three events happen generally simultaneously. I liked her the moment she arrived in Paris, intent of delivering a golden dragon statue for her uncle. I did not finish this book, but after a week of my wife giggling at my grumbling before it became a thrown missle (damage: 1d2), I feel qualified enough to say.Īisling Grey is a quirky, funny woman who I pictured as "Veronica Mars"-era Kirsten Bell.
This is an act I have not performed since I read Mercedes Lackey's The Silver Gryphon, which was to packing luggage as MST3K's "The Lost Continent" was to rock climbing. In honestly, I have to admit that I threw this book across the room at page 176. Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and dogs, and can often be found lurking around online. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell, and for the mystery world as Kate Marsh. Her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and placed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. More than thirty books followed during the years after Noble's publication. Two years after she started writing novels, Katie sold her first romance, Noble Intentions. Since her editor refused to allow her to include either witty dialogue or love scenes in the software book, Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes.
Despite her love for novels, she didn't think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction book about software. Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. For as long as she can remember, Katie MacAlister has loved reading.
