From the New York Times bestselling author known for her “zany humor and spicy romance” (Publishers Weekly) comes an action-packed paranormal about a dragon hunter and the dangerous bad boy who steals her heart. Dragon Hunter Wanted: Sword supplied. No experience necessary. One moment, I was a normal (if somewhat germaphobic) math teacher getting ready for summer vacation. Then my sister died … getting ready for summer vacation. Then my sister died in a pile of black ash, leaving me with a sword… and her destiny as dragon hunter. It turns out there’s a whole other world out there filled with demons, dragons, and spirits. Now my job is to protect mortals – and I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing.
Then there’s tattooed hotness Ian Iskander. Part dragon hunter and part demon, Ian’s got some seriously creepy business associates and keeps trying to steal my sword. So why do we keep getting lost in hungry, crazy-hot kisses? Ian is the only person who can help me figure out who – and what – I am. But trusting a half-demon is dangerous… because when you play with dragon fire, someone always gets burned.

Once upon a time, I had read everything that Katie MacAlister had written. It’s been quite a few years since then and I’m not sure why I fell off the path of stalking her writing. I’m so thankful I was reintroduced to her writing because I’ve completely fallen all over again. If you’re looking for a good laugh, you need look no further than the chapter titles and you’ll know you’re in for a good time with this book. Quick, witty, heartfelt, action-packed, this book has it all! I absolutely loved it.
If you like your action mixed with humor, read this right now! You won’t regret it.
Thank you to NetGalley, Katie MacAlister, and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the chance to read this book and share my thoughts and opinions with others.
I love this series!
Katie’s books are always funny and have great characters.
A good start for a new trilogy in MacAlister’s shared paranormal world, with a new setting and additions to the mythology that spice things up a bit.
My Thoughts – 4 out of 5 Unicorns – I really liked it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!
The cover is steamy!!
This is the first book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content. This is my first time read Katie’s work.
This was an interesting read. It started off confusing for me because I didn’t understand Veronica. Veronica (Ronnie) has OCD and is a germaphobe. This makes for usually humor and interesting steamy content. Ronnie and Ian work together as a couple and team. There are several mysteries that Ronnie is trying to figure out. Ian kicks butt and is very tolerant of Ronnie’s idiosyncrasies. I like when author’s create unique individuals and bring real life problems to the characters. I like watching Ronnie’s evolution into being a kick butt woman who always does the right thing. Her integrity and spirit is beautiful and meshes with Ian. Katie surprised me a time or two in this book which is always refreshing.
I recommend to paranormal fans who love interesting worlds filled with paranormals and those who love uniquely challenged characters who shine in the book! I can’t wait to read more of Katie’s books!
Dragons and demons and spirits, Oh my! I’m so glad Katie Mac when back to her dragon world! Filled with new characters, new tales, and new obstacles to overcome, Memoirs is non stop action from the first page.
Estranged from her half-sister, Ronnie is met with a startling realization about the world she lives in. As her sister is desperate to tell the tale of dragon hunters, demons, and protecting mankind, she lays dying in Ronnie’s arms and hands over a sword bequeathing her powers to her sister. Now a dragon hunter with little knowledge of who to trust, Ronnie has to complete her sister’s mission and help save a woman and her two daughters before demons get their hands on them. But her new neighbor, Ian, seems to be on the same mission with slightly different reasons.
On par for every Kati Mac book, Ronnie is hilarious, particularly in her way of thinking and awkward honesty. Her best friend and self-appointed sidekick Teresita is rib-crackling funny. While Memoirs may be an action packed romance, there’s definitely no shortage of comic relief between the demon fights and Ronnie learning her new skills form Ian. And who doesn’t want a sexy teacher like Ian Iskander. Half demon, half dragon, allllll male. Ian is charming and caring not only for Ronnie but for Sasha, a charge and apprentice in his care.
Ronnie and Ian soon learn that the mission her sister gave her and Ian’s lead to the same direction. A woman and her two daughters aren’t all they seem, and Ian’s mission has a darker tone than Ronnie thought. Deception and magic turn this twisting fantasy mystery into a who-dun-it with an unexpected quirky romance on top. Definitely a fun new addition to the Katie Mac fantasy realm!
Memoirs of a Dragon Hunter by Katie MacAlister is book One in the Dragon Hunter series. This is the story of Ian Iskander and Veronica James.
Veronica hadn’t seen her half sister in a while when she appeared to her dying with a sword, a bite and a story that was so surprising to her. Veronica learned her sister was a Dragon Hunter who has transferred this to her with the task to that her sister died before revealing who she needed to help. Then she meet Ian who she not sure at first if he is friend or foe. But their growing feelings start to make it know to them that their is more to their story.
This was a funny, hot and a page turner story for me. I am a fan of Ms. MacAlister writing so I am looking forward to more books in this series!!
I have been a fan of this author for years, and I’m always excited when she starts a new series. I haven’t been as up-to-date as I could be with her writing as I read so many authors, and I jumped at the chance to read this book. Now I must confess to being a little conflicted about rating this book. I found it to be well-written, have an interesting plot, and for the most part I really enjoyed the characters. However, I found Veronica a little off-putting. I love that she had an unusual quirk, but she was so annoying about everything. And, while I really liked her love interest Ian, I didn’t feel much chemistry between them, probably because I found Veronica a little immature. So, with those things in mind, I did enjoy this book, but I did have a couple minor issues, but I still overall recommend it! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.
This was a great book. Plenty of action, comic relief & OCD goodness!
The story is well written and the characters come to life and jump off the page!
Read it to see how this Memoir ends!
