Light My Fire by Katie MacAlister

Aisling Grey, Guardian in-training, demon lord and mate to Drake, Wyvern of the Green Dragons has a small problem: someone keeps trying to kill her. The attempts are really annoying since Aisling is immortal and can't die unless someone severs her head from her body. Just to make her life complicated, Aisling finds herself in the middle of a dragon war, wanted by imps everywhere because her demon killed their king and in trouble with her fellow Guardians because of her unguardian-like behavior. Challenged on all fronts, Aisling desperately needs Drake’s help, but all Drake wants to do is to spend time in the hot tub, on the rug and occasionally even on the bed. Can Aisling find a way to survive or will she find herself doomed to spend the rest of her life in her personel hell.

This is the third novel in the Aisling Grey series, which documents Aisling’s struggles to become a full fledged Guardian. However the novel is disappointing in that it's focused on creating up situations for future novels to resolve than creating a compelling story. It's not that the story is bad - it isn't, but the lack of resolution really hurts. Fans of the previous books will obviously have this book on the must buy list, though they may want to wait until the next volume is released before reading it.

Bottom line: Pretty good
