Product Description |
Where there’s smoke, there’s one hot New York Times bestselling author.
Though May Northcott’s heart belongs to Gabriel, leader of the silver dragons, being stuck in Abaddon has significantly cooled down her love life. Especially since a demon lord is trying to woo her. Looks like May will have to barter to gain her freedom and fulfill her destiny by Gabriel’s side... |

excellent urban fantasy, |
Magoth the demon Prince had abducted doppelganger dragon mate May Northcott. The evil one was taking her to Abaddon, but Silver Dragon leader Gabriel and his allies rescue her. However, a consequence of their action is that Magoth escaped also.
At the same the Blue Dragons ignite into a nasty power struggle. While their political argument turns ugly and overheated, May unintentionally uses the dragon phylactery, which ends up residing inside her. To remove it without killing her is dangerous; to not take it out is even more hazardous. They must gather the shards held by divided dragon factions in order to rescue May at a time an unknown ethereal dragon stalks her and her cronies while Gabriel hatches a plan to destroy May's royal demonic creator.
Although a well written excellent urban fantasy, fans would be better suited first reading the previous tale PLAYING WITH FIRE; as that equally engaging tale leads directly into UP IN SMOKE. The story line is filled with action as dragons seem set on a course of civil war and Magoth is on the loose; yet there is also plenty of humor and affection. Katie MacAlister provides a wonderful "Hell on Earth" entry in her parallel to the Grey tales Silver Dragons saga.

May-ling: Doppelganger, Dragon Mate, Demon Consort and now a dragon heart vessel... |
Up in Smoke is the second book in the new silver dragon series. It parallels Aisling's novels wonderfully, yet May stands on her own and her story is delightfully funny and completely different. She has to contend with so many people and beings wanting something from her.
The only reason Magoth wants her as a consort is to have access to the mortal world to create mayhem, destruction blah blah blah. Gabriel is fighting to keep May by his side, and all the dragons are trying to figure out who is the real Blue Wyvern Fiat or Bastion, as well as whether or not the Black dragons are their own Sept, and if so what will happen to the Silver Sept who used to be a part of the Black Sept.
As if that wasn't bad Cyrene is convinced she's Kostya's mate, the only reason she can't hold his fire is he isn't officially recognized.... right... and no one wants to break the news to a crazy Naiad who just lost her job as a protector of her spring and lost her common sense in order to create her Doppelganger May. May now has to talk to Neptune (that's right the Roman God) to petition for Cy's job back. Did I mention the one dragon who everyone though Kostya had killed is running around in the shadow world, Baltic.
This story is definitely action packed and a great follow up story. I love Gabriel but every time Aisling and Drake are mentioned I keep my fingers crossed that Katie MacAlister is writing their continued story quickly. All in all I can't wait for the third. |
