I just wanted to take a few minutes of my time and write about Up in Smoke by Katie MacAlister. It's the second book in her Silver Dragon series (which I guess stems from the Aisling Grey/Green Dragon series). It came out about 2 weeks ago, and I finished reading it a few days ago, and I want to burst! It left me in suspense, and I don't know how long till the next part comes out.
Anyway, if you haven't read this series (or the Aisling Grey) you really should. It's got your paranormals (Dragons, Guardians, Demons, Imps, Doppelgangers, etc.), it's got romance (really yummy sex scenes too, hehe). The books are just great, I also like the way she communicates with the readers. She writes in first person, and talks to us, not as if she were telling a story that already happened, but more as if we were there, and she's just making comments about what's going on, and what she's thinking.
Here's a little bit about Up in Smoke (I wont spoil anything I promise)
It continues about 6 months after May (a doppelganger and a wyvern's mate to Gabriel, wyvern of the silver dragons) sacrifices herself for Gabriel and the sept, and ends up stuck in Abaddon becoming a consort to the demon she was bound to when she was first created. So May and Gabriel have to figure out how to get her out of Abaddon without releasing the demon to the mortal world. Of course in between all of this there's a whole bunch of drama involving dragon politics. With the Black dragon trying to make their sept official again, and fighting with the Silver dragons (because there's some history between both septs, which I wont talk about), the Blue dragons are in the middle of a civil war with eachother, the leader of the Red dragons is stuck somewhere in Abaddon (I won't say how she got there, but I will say it happened in the Aisling Grey series), and so on and so forth. It sounds a bit overwhelming, but trust me, it's all laid out neatly.
So come on folks, hop to it, buy the book, read it. Support this great author, who wants her book to do well.

I just started the second Aisling Gray book, and I LOVE IT! Katie is a funny writer, and the fantastic elements are totally plausible, which makes a great read!
I know I will buy this book you have reviewed just because I love her writing so much.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh I just noticed I had a comment!
Yes I love her Aisling Grey series, I want to be her! HAHA. It's a lil sad that she's not planning on writing anymore stories with Aisling as the main character, but at least she's a secondary character in the other dragon books. :)
Make sure you read the first book in the silver dragon books before reading this one. ;)
